NASA analysts and engineers have been closely tracking the agency’s sinking Neil Gehrel’s Swift Observatory as part of a fast-paced plan to raise it to a higher orbit.
After completing a series of initial test flights at high and low altitudes, NASA’s X-59 aircraft is undergoing a scheduled maintenance period inside its hangar. Teams at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, have removed panels on the aircraft to take a better look inside. This allows for thorough visual inspections to confirm […]
Experiments exploring cancer treatments and cartilage repair topped the Expedition 74 crew’s research schedule on Friday. Two cosmonauts are also gearing up for a spacewalk in less than a week.
Editor’s note: This workforce note was updated on May 22, 2026, to confirm the target launch of SR-1 as targeting 2028. It has been a busy few weeks, and I wanted to provide some updates. To begin, I want to once again acknowledge the incredible contributions of the NASA workforce, along with our commercial and international […]
Four Expedition 74 astronauts had a light duty day with an array of advanced research still scheduled for Thursday. The three cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station focused on ongoing spacewalk preparations and robotics training.
The Expedition 74 crew continued exploring ways to advance cancer treatments and prevent excessive bleeding aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday. The orbital residents are also unpacking a U.S. cargo spacecraft while preparing spacesuits for an upcoming spacewalk.
The Expedition 74 crew explored advanced treatments for cancer and cartilage injuries on Tuesday using the weightless environment to gain new biomedical insights. The orbital residents also continued gearing up for a spacewalk planned at the end of the month outside the International Space Station.
NASA has transferred management of two lunar science instruments to Intuitive Machines, due to the instruments’ principal investigators and science team members joining the company. Intuitive Machines now manages the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera on board NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and ShadowCam, a NASA instrument on South Korea’s Danuri orbiter, also known as Korean […]
New science experiments are getting underway aboard the International Space Station after a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft delivered about 6,500 pounds of cargo on Sunday, May 17. The Expedition 74 crew spent Monday unloading the new supplies, kicking off new research, and gearing up for a spacewalk.
At 6:37 a.m. EDT, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft docked to the forward port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module, carrying nearly 6,500 pounds of food, supplies, and equipment for the Expedition 74 crew. This is the 34th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission to the space station for NASA.
