A Soyuz-2-1a rocket carrying the NASA astronaut and two cosmonauts will launch the Soyuz MS-28 mission from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, about 1,300 miles (2,100 km) southeast of Moscow on Thursday.

NASA’s Dream Chaser space plane is finally complete, marking one of the most anticipated milestones in modern spaceflight. Built to launch vertically and land on runways like a commercial jet, the reusable craft represents a major shift away from capsule-only missions.

NASA has doubled down on its conclusion that 3I/ATLAS is a comet, even as a growing group of scientists suggest the interstellar object may be far stranger than anything previously observed. First detected on 1 July 2025 by the ATLAS survey telescope in Chile,

While the feds idled, an interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS was barnstorming the solar system, at a speed that reached 153,000 miles per hour as it tore past Mars, whipped around the sun, and headed on a trajectory that will take it back into deep space.

"These confirmations have been given to us in writing, so this is a very important step." BREMEN, Germany — NASA will help Europe get its long-delayed Mars life-hunting ExoMars rover off the ground, even though President Donald Trump's proposed NASA budget cuts the collaboration in a drive to reduce spending on science.

NASA on Monday slashed the number of astronaut missions on Boeing's Starliner contract and said the spacecraft's next mission to the International Space Station will fly without a crew, reducing the scope of a program hobbled by engineering woes and outpaced by Elon Musk's SpaceX.

NASA recently released a video that captures the first flight of its X-59 supersonic aircraft as it soared above the Southern California desert, allowing us to relive the excitement from the cockpit of the sleek jet.
