A NASA astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) has been able to 'shake hands' with a scientist 8,046 km away on Earth, making history with the first telerobotic 'handshake' between space and Earth.

Three astronauts who had their stay on the International Space Station extended by a month after a rocket failure are set to land back on Earth on June 11, the head of Russia's space agency said today.

A NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts landed safely in a snow-covered Kazakh steppe on Thursday after a 167-day mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Two US astronauts whipped through a third spacewalk outside the International Space Station on Sunday to rig parking spots for new U.S. space taxis.

A US astronaut found water pooling in his helmet right after completing a six-plus hour spacewalk on Wednesday, raising new concerns about flaws with NASA's spacesuits.

Two US astronauts wearing what NASA assured are "healthy" spacesuits began a spacewalk on Saturday to lay cable outside the International Space Station, after an equipment failure briefly delayed the mission.

With three complicated spacewalks planned in the coming days, NASA is rushing to resolve a spacesuit problem linked to a 2013 emergency when water dangerously flooded a European astronaut's helmet.
