Space Launch System Rocket

The Gaganyaan manned space flight mission will launch "Indian astronauts into space from Indian soil on an India-made rocket", Dr Unnikrishnan Nair, the head of the elite Vikram Sarabhai Space Center in Kerala, told NDTV in a special interview.

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.

SpaceX on Monday scrubbed the planned test flight of its Starship rocket and rescheduled the liftoff to April 20. The most powerful rocket ever built, designed to send astronauts to the Moon, Mars and beyond, will now have a 62-minute launch window on Thursday, according to the private space company.

Elon Musk's SpaceX made final preparations early on Monday to launch its powerful new Starship rocket system to space for the first time, on a brief but highly anticipated uncrewed test flight from the Gulf Coast of Texas.

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.

SpaceX will fire up all 33 engines that power Starship, its next-generation space launch vehicle, in what is expected to be a key milestone in the firm's development of the massive launch system. The static fire test is scheduled for Thursday and comes two weeks after the rocket and booster were filled with propellant in a "wet dress rehearsal" by ...

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...

The Indian Space Research Orgnisation (ISRO) has for the first time supplied a rocket system to support a private launch vehicle built in the country. Chennai-based space technology startup Agnikul Cosmos received its first flight termination system (FTS) on November 7 from ISRO.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying the Joint Polar Satellite System-2 satellite and the NASA test payload lifted off on Thursday from California. JPSS-2 was placed into an orbit that circles the Earth from pole to pole, joining previously launched satellites in a system designed to improve weather forecasting and climate monitoring.

NASA rolled out its largest-ever rocket, Space Launch System (SLS), to a launch pad in Florida on Friday and will try again 10 days from now to blast off on a much-delayed uncrewed mission Artemis I to the Moon. After two launch attempts were scrubbed this summer because of technical problems, the rocket returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building ...

NASA on Monday successfully crashed into an asteroid in the world's first test of a planetary defense system, as the US space agency continues to work on technology to prevent potential meteorite collisions with Earth, that could threaten life on the planet. The DART spacecraft was launched by a SpaceX rocket in November 2021, and made most of its ...

NASA said it completed a fuelling test for its Artemis I SLS rocket, ahead of the planned launch date of September 27. The US space agency had aborted the launch of the Artemis I SLS rocket twice in the past, due to technical errors. However, NASA is yet to receive a waiver to avoid retesting the batteries on a system used to destroy the Artemis I ...

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully tested a hybrid motor, potentially paving the way for a new propulsion system for the forthcoming launch vehicles.

An important repair for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket has been completed by NASA. The leaky seals on the SLS were replaced by engineers last week. One of the fuel lines to the SLS started leaking earlier this month forcing the space agency to halt its attempt to launch Artemis I.
