Orion Launch

The crew will train for about 18 months and receive detailed lessons on the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that will take them to the Moon.

NASA on Monday unveiled the crew for Artemis II, the first human mission to the Moon in over 50 years. The US space agency is set to send the first woman and Black man along with two other astronauts to fly around the Moon. This will be the closest humans have been to the Moon since the historic Apollo missions ended in 1972.

NASA on Tuesday said it was on track to launch a crewed mission around the Moon at the end of next year. The US space agency's uncrewed Orion capsule returned safely to Earth in December after a more than 25-day journey around the Moon. The Artemis 2 mission is scheduled to take place in late November 2024, and will take a four-person crew around t...

Meta's AR and VR product plans for the next four years have leaked online. The Meta Quest 3 is expected to debut later this year. The second-generation Ray-Ban Stories is expected to go official this fall.

NASA completed its Artemis I inaugural Moon mission on Sunday, as the Orion capsule returned to Earth. The US space agency is on track for the next Orion flight around the moon that is targeted for 2024 with four astronauts, followed by a two-person lunar landing by 2025 and, ultimately, a sustainable Moon base.

NASA's Orion spacecraft was placed in lunar orbit Friday, officials said, as the much-delayed Moon mission proceeded successfully. A little over a week after the spacecraft blasted off from Florida bound for the Moon, flight controllers "successfully performed a burn to insert Orion into a distant retrograde orbit," the US space agency said on its ...

The aircraft also sent back images of Earth looking extremely tiny like a 'pale blue dot' from 230,000 miles away.

Nasa's Orion spacecraft today flew past the moon, five days after it was launched off the Florida coast in US. Orion is on a 25-day mission to orbit the moon before it returns safely to earth.

NASA's Artemis I was on course Wednesday for a crewless voyage around the moon and back hours after blasting off from Florida on its debut flight, half a century after the final lunar mission of the Apollo era. The 32-story-tall Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 1:47am EST (12:17pm IST), piercing the bl...

NASA's Artemis I Moon rocket endured fierce winds and heavy rains from Hurricane Nicole on Thursday, days ahead of the expected launch of the spacecraft. Sustained winds of 136.8kmph tested the design limits of the 32-story-tall rocket and posing added risks to a spacecraft already beset by technical glitches. The Artemis I Moon rocket sustained mi...

NASA on Saturday stated that its next Artemis I SLS-Orion spacecraft launch may not take place this month. While the current launch window ends on September 6, the next possible launch window is September 19 to October 4. If NASA is unable to make a third attempt at launching the rocket by then, the next window will be October 17 to October 31.

After the Artemis I launch was halted on August 29, NASA rescheduled the launch to the Moon for September 3. The launch event will be livestreamed via NASA’s official YouTube channel, and also via various social media platforms. The launch coverage will begin at 5:45am EDT or 3:15pm IST with tanking operations. Here’s how you watch the Artemis...

NASA announced on Monday that the launch of Artemis I has been cancelled, while the US space agency's teams have begun working through an issue with an engine bleed. Both the Orion spacecraft, which is designed to carry astronauts to the Moon in the future, and the advanced Space Launch System (SLS) remained in a safe and stable configuration, acc...

NASA will launch its Artemis ! rocket today, marking the agency's first step towards returning humans to the Moon's surface. The US space agency's lunar mission involves sending its Orion spacecraft along with satellites in order to perform testing on conditions in space, before NASA sends astronauts to the Moon. Here's everything you need to know ...

Artemis I will launch on August 29. The combined SLS-Orion spacecraft will take off from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral to send an uncrewed capsule around the Moon and back to Earth on a six-week test flight called Artemis I.

The crew will train for about 18 months and receive detailed lessons on the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that will take them to the Moon.
