Launching atop a Falcon 9 from Florida, Crew-12 is carried four new NASA, ESA, and Roscosmos crew members to the orbiting laboratory for an eight-month mission as part of Expedition 74/75. Liftoff occurred at 5:15 AM EST (10:15 UTC) on Friday,

By Steve Nesius and Steve Gorman CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida, Feb 13 (Reuters) - A SpaceX rocket soared into orbit from Florida early on Friday with a crew of two U.S. NASA astronauts, a French astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut headed to the International Space Station for an eight-month science mission in microgravity.

For the 1st time in the history of the International Space Station, an astronaut experienced a health issue that required NASA to end a mission early.

NASA is just hours away from its first crewed launch of 2026, and its first since Crew-11 flew to orbit in August last year. Just ahead of Crew-12’s liftoff, the space agency has released a short trailer (above) for the mission,

What about storing it in high orbit? US lawmakers have asked NASA to look into storing the International Space Station (ISS) in a higher orbit at the end of its operational life, instead of sending the structure hurtling into the ocean when the time comes.

Although the International Space Station is hundreds of miles above Earth’s surface, it’s still possible to catch a distant glimpse. The ISS, which has been orbiting Earth for more than 25 years, orbits the globe every 90 minutes. This means the crew ...

Nasa plans to retire the ageing International Space Station in 2030 with a controlled crash into the Pacific Ocean. This move marks the beginning of a new era of commercial space travel and deep space missions.
