The US space agency was expected to pick two lunar lander prototypes (including one of Blue Origin's) but funding cut from US Congress led the agency to select SpaceX over Blue Origin.

The star, called AG Carinae, is a few million years old and resides 20,000 light-years away inside our Milky Way galaxy. It is estimated to be up to 70 times more massive than our Sun and shines with the blinding brilliance of one million suns.

The spacecraft, named Endeavour by the crew, lifted-off at 5.49.02 a.m. EDT from the Launch Complex 39A at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA said.

Heading for the International Space Station

The task was accomplished by a toaster-size, six-wheeled robot aboard Perseverance called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilisation Experiment (MOXIE) on April 20.

The mini-helicopter flew to Mars while being attached to the belly of NASA's Perseverance rover, which made a February 18 touch down on the Red Planet.

The contract is worth $2.9 billion and is part of NASA's Artemis programme, which aims to return astronauts to the moon by 2024 as a stepping stone to the first human mission to Mars, DPA news agency reported.

The Crew-2 with four astronauts on board, will lift-off at 6:11 a.m. EDT on April 22, from Launch Complex 39A at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The US space agency, which is yet to declare a new date for the attempt, earlier rescheduled the flight after a test completed earlier than planned.

Ingenuity features four specially made carbon-fiber blades, arranged into two rotors that spin in opposite directions at around 2,400 rpm – many times faster than a passenger helicopter on Earth.

"During a high-speed spin test of the rotors on Friday, the command sequence controlling the test ended early due to a 'watchdog' timer expiration," NASA said

The Artemis III mission is expected to launch the first woman and next man to the Moon in 2024.

The flyover was completed at around 6 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, but the mission team will have to wait a few more days to find out how the spacecraft changed the surface of Bennu

Participants from more than 100 countries participated in contest and students of Sri Chaitanya stood with 64 prize winning projects which was more than 50% of the 107 prize winning projects of India

Scheduled for launch in the mid-2020s, Roman will be one of NASA's most prolific planet hunters, the US space agency said on Wednesday.

The agency provides up to $125,000 for companies to establish the merit and feasibility of their innovations, NASA said on Thursday.

An Empowered Overseeing Committee has been constituted to review and approve the proposals.

Researchers from NASA, UoH suggest these strains could make it possible for astronauts to grow their own food in space stations

When NASA's Sojourner rover landed on Mars in 1997, it proved that roving the Red Planet was possible and completely redefined our approach to how we explore Mars.

NASA expects the first test flight of the four-pound, four-blade rotorcraft to come "no earlier than the first week of April".
