A NASA spacecraft is set to explore ancient asteroids clumped around Jupiter. The Lucy mission will travel billions of miles in hopes of uncovering the secret beginnings of the giant outer planets

SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule has launched three astronaut missions since last year, but Boeing is still trying to certify its vehicle for human spaceflight.

The four people on the Inspiration4 space mission are set to splash down this weekend off Florida. Should the all-civilian crew be considered astronauts?

In the latest step in the commercialization of space, the four-member crew of the SpaceX mission launched from the Kennedy Space Center Wednesday night. The astronauts will land off the Florida coast.

The first all-civilian space mission into orbit is expected to take flight from Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday evening. Private company SpaceX is running the mission — not NASA.

A crew of four civilians will hitch a ride from SpaceX, spending three days in orbit inside their spaceship.

All of the technologies that are being deployed on this mission can be used for future missions in space.

NASA propellent management Eric Dirschka says the agency doesn't have an issue but is "sensitive to what’s going on in the marketplace and with the COVID in the hospitals. So it could become a problem.”

The Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage is responsible for giving an in-space boost to the astronauts and sending them on a precise trajectory to the moon.

Boeing engineers continue to troubleshoot an issue with its Starliner's propulsion system that delayed an uncrewed launch of the space capsule last week.
