The first non-American to walk on the moon will be a Japanese astronaut. Two JAXA astronauts will fly on future Artemis landing missions in return for Japan providing a pressurized moon rover.

As bucket list items go, seeing a total solar eclipse from space might seem like a tall order. But on Monday (April 8), Michael Barratt saw an eclipse from off the planet.

The liftoff of the last-ever Delta rocket today (April 9) brought with it a change in the way the U.S. sends satellites, interplanetary probes and spacecraft into Earth orbit.

As a total solar eclipse crosses North America, seven people in space will see the spectacle from orbit. At the same time, more than 30 astronauts will be at events celebrating the sight.

Japan's proposal for a moon rover is "more than meets the eye." A new model of JAXA's Lunar Cruiser not only replicates the Toyota transport, but can also transform into Optimus Prime.

Given it was navy ships that recovered the Apollo spacecraft, it is appropriate that the largest temporary exhibit ever hosted by the Intrepid is themed to the first lunar landings.

NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Satoshi Furukawa spoke about their six months on the space station.

A NASA astronaut who had the honor of naming her spacecraft will fly items inspired by that name when she launches to the International Space Station.

For the first time, a spacecraft has lifted off with a flight attendant aboard. Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus, Oleg Novitsky of Roscosmos and NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson launched on Soyuz MS-25.

Former NASA astronaut Thomas Stafford, who flew to the moon before leading the first international space mission carried out by the United States and Russia, has died at the age of 93.

Lego and NASA have a long history of collaborating, but the release of the Technic Mars Crew Exploration Rover launched the partnership in a new direction, both for the toy company and space agency.

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft, which is dedicated to studying Jupiter's icy ocean moon, will carry with it a metal plaque etched with the ripples created by the many ways humans say "water."

"The Flies" are ready to fly, so NASA is in need of some new flyboys (and gals). As the space agency welcomed its latest astronauts into its corps, NASA announced it is again accepting applications.

Three American astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut and a small English Springer Spaniel plush doll are now on their way to the International Space Station.

Move over, moon rocks! Space Center Houston has a new type of space stone in its showcase: a sample of the asteroid Bennu.

There is a scene in "Spaceman" where Adam Sandler, playing a Czech astronaut, floats by a brown duffle bag. What sets the bag apart is that it is an authentic piece of space equipment.

Scott Kelly recently returned to the International Space Station during a trip to Berlin. The replica was built for the off-Earth scenes in "Constellation," the psychological thriller on Apple TV+.

Richard "Dick" Truly, who was one of the first astronauts to fly on the space shuttle and later led NASA as administrator, has died at the age of 86.

What do you get when you mix an Apollo astronaut's legacy with a trio of shipping containers, VR technology, the cousin of a 'Star Wars' robot and an escape room? A chance to go to the moon.

A technology used to protect the first astronauts to land on the moon is on its way back to the lunar surface, and you may already have some of it in your coat closet.

The first Canadian who will fly to the moon, Jeremy Hansen, now has a patch to represent his own mission, as well as the knowledge passed on by his country's original explorers.

Although they never flew in space together, astronauts David Hilmers and Marsha Ivins crossed paths on the same spacecraft on the same mission. They will now reunite with the orbiter to be honored.

A classic toy brand is putting its foot down on how NASA rockets are launched. After 30 years of producing "kid-powered" projectiles of its own design, Stomp Rocket is releasing its first NASA set.

NASA's Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft will be displayed by the Smithsonian as part of the renovated galleries at the National Air and Space Museum in 2026. Four new space galleries are among 12 debuting.

A space shuttle is standing upright for the first time in more than a decade. Cranes lifted Endeavour off a Los Angeles side street and onto an external tank with solid rocket boosters for display.
