It’s unclear when the first test flight of the aircraft will be, but it is expected to be sometime this year.

SpaceX announced it will attempt to launch two rockets from Florida’s Space Coast on Thursday evening.

SpaceX delayed the launch of its Falcon Heavy on Monday, ending its hope for a spectacular double-dip of rocket launches, the agency announced.

Starlink satellites can be seen lined up in the night's sky, leaving people around the world wondering what their purpose is.

The comet is the expected to make its closest pass of Earth sometime between Feb. 1 and 2, possibly even sooner sometime at the end of January.

Jacqueline Cochran was a record-breaking aviatrix, entrepreneur and political mover and shaker who was close enough with President Lindon B. Johnson he refused to let her call him Mr. President.

The longest partial lunar eclipse of the year is happening early Friday, and people in all 50 states will be able to view it.

Moonwalkers of the Artemis generation are going to need some new gear and very soon if NASA plans to achieve its goal.

NASA astronauts Raja Chair and Doug Wheelock explain how commercial missions are paving the way for the return to the moon.

Thanks to space experts -- shout out to NASA -- we’re fortunate enough to have a heads up as to when we’ll get the best view of them.

Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson's companies both will take tourists to the edge of space.

Wally Funk has waited decades to fly in space now she will get her chance flying with Blue Origin.

This week on Space Curious, a listener wanted to know, "How big is the solar system?"

Animal spaceflights paved the way for the first human astronauts, and today, creatures big and small continue to space travel, advancing our knowledge of how the zero-gravity environment impacts all beings and aiding research down on Earth.

There’s something exciting on the horizon: a supermoon, and it’s expected to be the largest moon we’ll see this year.

This time, the U.S. plans to stay on the moon with a sustainable presence with the help of international and commercial partners.

China says the upper stage of its Long March 5B carrier rocket that launched the core module of its space station will mostly burn up on re-entry, posing little threat to people and property on Earth.

Several private companies launching moon landers later this year from Florida will kick off a grand campaign to better understand our nearest neighbor, with big implications for when NASA returns humans to the moon in a few short years.

FILE - This photo made available by NASA was taken during the first drive of the Perseverance rover on Mars on Thursday, March 4, 2021. The Perseverance rover has been on Mars for a month, collecting data and making discoveries with each passing day. A number of the findings, through a collaboration with NASA, have been catalogued in Diné Bizaad, the Navajo language. The Perseverance team started with a list of 50 words and will expand the list as needed. Aaron Yazzie, Diné, added suggestions like bidziil (strength) and hoł nilį́ (respect) to the list.

The landing is part of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort to explore the Red Planet.

In a recent episode of the podcast “Space Curious,” planetary scientists helped us understand why this is. They also explained how we know where asteroids are, and why we’re not all going to get squashed by one anytime soon. “The main reason we go to Bennu is because it is the most potentially hazardous asteroid,” Campins said. “It’s a primitive asteroid,” Campins said. Campins said when someone reads about an asteroid headed for Earth, it’s a good idea to do some fact checking.

A composite image of Starlink satellite trails across an image of Comet NEOWise taken in Central Florida by astronomer Derek Demeter in July 2020. (Derek Demeter)Our view of the night sky has been changing ever since the light bulb was invented. “When I look up at the night sky, I’m reminded of the thousands of years of history that people have been inspired -- a lot of our traditions today stem from ancient people looking up at the night sky and feeling awe and wonder,” he said. AdIn August, the members of an American Astronomical Society committee -- who have been working with SpaceX engineers-- released their findings about how to mitigate trashing the night sky and what the long-standing impact of these large constellations will be. Lori Allen, also an astronomer with the NOIRLab, said the astronomy working group observed Starlink satellites to determine if changes to the satellite hardware will work, what observatories can do.

And so whilst we say ’space debris,’ it’s not like there’s hundreds and hundreds of objects all crammed together or creating a huge problem. Space is big, and the separations between these pieces of space debris are quite large.”AdBatcheldor said most space debris, or space junk, is tracked and right now not posing a danger to any new missions. This is the area most concentrated with space debris, according to NASA’s Orbital Debris Program Office. His research area of focus is on robotics in space, including satellite repair in space and removal of space debris. Hosted by space reporter Emilee Speck, each episode is designed to inspire everyone, from the space curious to the space fanatics.

That means most college students today have never known a day without an astronaut orbiting above them on the International Space Station. The International Space Station, or ISS, is just shy of the same length as an American football field and the largest spacecraft ever built. “I felt as an International Space Station, we needed to enter as an international crew.”AdCabana and Krikalev went into the ISS at the same time. “Sergei and I enter side by side, so there was no first person to enter the International Space Station,” Cabana said. Hosted by space reporter Emilee Speck, each episode is designed to inspire everyone, from the space curious to the space fanatics.

What do you want to know about spaceflight and planetary exploration in the era of a new space industry? Space exploration is fueled by the need to answer questions about the great unknown. There’s no need to have a background in physics or a degree in engineering; this is open for the space curious to the space obsessed. Space reporter Emilee Speck will answer your intergalactic questions with help from astronauts, scientists and engineers. Your questions could be featured on Space Curious, a podcast from Graham Media Group and ClickOrlando.com.

Leading up to the May 27 launch of NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken we’re taking a look back at milestones in U.S. human spaceflight that paved the way for future astronauts, starting with the Mercury and Gemini projects.
