The Artemis 2 SLS rocket that will launch the next astronauts around the moon is all put together inside NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building.

NASA’s next Moonship has reached a significant milestone by arriving at the Kennedy Space Center’s Vehicle Assembly Building in Florida. This marks the final processing stop before the spacecraft is integrated onto the launch pad for an upcoming Artemis mission.

The next stop was a nearby building where the Launch Abort System was installed on the Orion spacecraft. The tower-like abort system would pull the capsule away from its rocket in the event of a launch failure. Orion stands roughly 67 feet (20 meters) tall with its service module, crew module, and abort tower integrated together.

Weeknight rocket launch is on the horizon. Weather permitting, SpaceX Falcon 9 may be visible in the sky beyond Cape Canaveral, Florida, after liftoff

A Falcon 9 on the SpainSat NG II mission is set to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 40 targeting a four-hour launch window from 9:30 p.m.-1:30 a.m. A backup opportunity is available on Thursday during the same window.

The most recent Starship test was also the last of SpaceX's current iteration of the rocket. Up next, plans to roll out the next-gen “V3” Starship.

As of , Blue Origin has conducted only one New Glenn launch to date. The maiden flight occurred on January 16, 2025, from Cape Canaveral's

Preparations for the second-ever launch of Blue Origin's powerful New Glenn rocket are underway on Florida's Space Coast, as NASA's twin ESCAPADE probes await their mission to Mars.

As the Space Coast waits to learn who will lead NASA through President Donald Trump's second term, Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of SpaceX, unleashed a barrage of criticism this week against potential candidates for NASA's next administrator, igniting a public debate over the future direction of America's space program.

NASA’s ambitious OSIRIS-APEX mission to study the asteroid Apophis has been spared from cancellation, but its future is far from secure. After threats of budget cuts that could have grounded the spacecraft,
