New Heavy-Lift Rocket to Take Humans Far Beyond Earth

Animation depicting the design of NASA’s new Space Launch System that will take the agency’s astronauts farther into space than ever before, create high-quality jobs here at home, and provide the cornerstone for America’s future human space exploration efforts. This new heavy-lift rocket will be America’s most powerful since the Saturn V rocket that carried […]

Expanding Possibilities Aboard The ISS

Eight days after its launch on the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft, the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) was installed on the aft berthing port of the Tranquility module April 16 for a two-year test of its systems. NASA is studying several habitat concepts to be used for future deep space exploration, and BEAM will be […]

NASA Tests Space Launch System Rocket Booster for Artemis Missions

NASA completed a full-scale booster test for NASA’s Space Launch System rocket in Promontory, Utah, on Sept. 2. The full-scale booster firing was conducted with new materials and processes that may be used for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket boosters.
