China has rejected a warning from NASA Administrator Bill Nelson that China might "take over" the moon as part of a military programme, calling it an irresponsible smear campaign. Nelson said China's space programme was a military one and that China had stolen ideas and technology from others, in an interview published in German newspaper Bild on S...

Japan and the United States says want to put the first Japanese astronaut on the Moon as the allies deepen cooperation on space projects. No non-American has ever touched down on the lunar surface, and Japan has previously said it hopes to achieve a Moon landing by the end of this decade.

NASA plans to use multiple private spacecraft to land astronauts on the Moon under the Artemis project. The US space agency will release a draft solicitation in the coming weeks to bring a second contender into the market for the development of a lunar lander alongside SpaceX.

NASA has again delayed its planned launch of the uncrewed lunar mission Artemis 1 by at least a month. The space agency had initially targeted the launch of the mission on February 12, 2022, but issues in the integrated testing programme have forced another schedule delay.

NASA has announced that it was now targeting to launch the Artemis 1, an uncrewed mission that will return the American space agency to the Moon after decades, in February 2022.
