Crew-1 mission marks a milestone in space industry in which private sector provides business and tourism services

This is the first of what NASA calls “operational” flights of the Crew Dragon.

The spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, along with Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has safely reached orbit, NASA said.

The Crew-1 flight was earlier scheduled to launch on a Falcon 9 on Saturday at 7.49 p.m. EST from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center

Hyderabad: Amateur star gazers have a great opportunity to check-out planet Mars in the Hyderabadi night sky in the next few months. At present, the red planet is at its brightest and biggest, as it is lined up with Earth on the same side of the Sun. According to amateur astronomers, one can’t miss the […]

The US space agency on Thursday said it welcomes responses from broadcasters, studios, aerospace industry, academic institutions, non-profit organisations, or collaborations between multiple such entities for creative proposals

A Russia Soyuz rocket launched the Expedition One crew on October 31, 2000, and docked with the space station two days later.

The project under Google Arts & Culture includes NASA collections, stories and some new games to help anybody learn more and engage in this important milestone in space exploration.

The discovery is a major breakthrough in the mission to explore the rest of the solar system, as well as giving a better understanding of the lunar surface.

This simple carbon-based molecule may be a precursor to more complex compounds that could form or feed possible life on Titan

The probe is thought to have collected some 400 grams (14 ounces) of fragments, far more than the minimum of 60 grams needed.

The discovery was made using Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Centre.

In reviewing these images, the OSIRIS-REx team noticed both that the head appeared to be full of asteroid particles, and that some of these particles appeared to be escaping slowly from the sample collector.

The crew landed just south of the town of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan, at 8.54 am Kazakhstan time, NASA said.

"We're looking for our own origins out there, and that's why we've gone so far to bring a bit of Bennu back."

"The system could support lunar surface communications at greater distances, increased speeds and provide more reliability than current standards," NASA noted in its contract award announcement.

NASA's first mission to return a sample from an ancient asteroid -- the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer, or OSIRIS-Rex -- is a seven-year long voyage

"The system could support lunar surface communications at greater distances, increased speeds and provide more reliability than current standards,"

It will measure with a mass spectrometer how much ice in the sample is lost to sublimation as the ice turns from a solid to a vapor in the vacuum of the lunar environment.

Besides the US, other founding member nations that have signed the Artemis Accords are Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, NASA said on Tuesday.
