Rocket Launch

Amazon's inaugural launch of its Project Kuiper internet satellites on April 9 turned out to be nothing of the sort when poor weather conditions prompted the mission team to postpone liftoff. Up until Thursday, we'd heard nothing from Amazon and United Launch Alliance (ULA) — the operator of the Atlas V rocket carrying the satellites […]

NASA and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than 4:15 a.m. EDT on Monday, April 21, for the next launch to deliver scientific investigations, supplies, and equipment to the International Space Station. Filled with about 6,700 pounds of supplies, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, on the company's Falcon 9 rocket, will lift off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

We've trashed Earth, so let's trash space… Oh, wait, we already have!

Fram2, a first-of-its-kind private mission to send four astronauts into polar orbit around Earth, is about to launch

The SpaceX rocket and spacecraft technology company will attempt a launch of 27 satellites Tuesday.

SpaceX is gearing up to launch Fram2, the first crewed mission to orbit Earth's poles, on Monday night from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The historic mission will carry four civilians from four countries.

Wednesday's SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch will be the first time a private company will send humans into orbit. SpaceX founder Elon Musk reflects on what this historic moment means to him. Mark Strassmann speaks to Musk and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine ahead of the launch.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore's and Suni Williams's eight-day mission lasted nine months. How did they adjust?

Wilmore and Williams became the first astronauts to strap into a Boeing Starliner capsule and be launched into space.

Russian cosmonaut Ivan Vagner welcomed the Crew-10 astronauts in a unique way to the International Space Station on March 16, 2025, and it was live streamed.

SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink satellites into orbit, a little more than 12 hours after the private company teamed up with NASA to send four astronauts to the International Space Station -- also from Florida.

The new crew's launch to the space station means that NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are finally about to return to Earth after an unexpected nine months in space.

NASA and SpaceX launched NASA's Crew-10 astronauts to the International Space Station on Friday night in a mission that will also aim to return Starliner astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore.
