Canadarm2 berthed a Cygnus cargo spacecraft on the International Space Station on Feb. 1. This is what it looked like, in space and from the orbiting complex.

A House subcommittee asked NASA about its plan to replace the International Space Station after 2030. New commercial stations are on the way but may not be ready in time.

Retired NASA astronaut John "Danny" Olivas says he wants to give back in what he thinks is his final career move: developing spacesuits with Collins Aerospace for ISS and moon missions.

NASA will launch the Crew-8 astronauts nearly a week later, on Feb. 28, to "deconflict" from the expected launch date of a robotic moon mission with agency science on board.

A week or more of floating around is tough on an astronaut's body, especially during a major moon mission. But, in a small spacecraft, finding the right exercise device can be tight.

SpaceX will launch Intuitive Machines' robotic lander toward the moon on Feb. 14. Here's how the mission will help NASA prep for crewed moon missions later in the decade.

The NASA Perseverance rover recently turned its gaze to the sky to spot a solar eclipse. The asteroid-sized Phobos passed in front of the sun on Feb. 8, from the perspective of Mars.

The final resting place of NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has a new name from the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, citing a set of islands associated with rest, refuge and eternity.

Two astronomy books from the Renaissance have found their way to a new home, where students will try to read a possible hidden text within one of them.

Jeremy Hansen has been waiting 15 years for space, and that will continue for a bit longer. The Canadian astronaut shared why he supports the decision to delay NASA's moon mission to 2025.

SpaceX astronauts with Axiom Space decided to leave behind a special snack for the International Space Station crew, shortly after National Peanut Butter Day in the United States.

NASA astronaut Eileen Collins will be featured in "Spacewoman", a documentary coming in 2025 about the first female space commander and pilot.

Moon robotics will move around astronauts and equipment to get ready for lunar landings. But first, comes the simulation of Canadarm3 to make sure everything will fit.

The International Space Station busted a move above Earth Jan. 27, allowing space station astronauts to use physics for a floating ride in orbit.

The Artemis 2 moon astronauts recently finished a splashdown exercise in a pool to get ready for more ambitious simulations in the water. They are slated to fly in 2025.

NASA astronaut Nick Hague will make his 1st trip to space for Space Force, but he's been there twice before already.

A new generation of spacesuit is getting ready for ISS missions. Collins Aerospace recently did testing on a spacesuit for spacewalks while flying parabolic.

Frank Rubio recently became the first American to spend more than a year in space on a single mission. When will the agency send another astronaut up for a full turn around the sun?

Japan's first moon lander is furiously doing science after staying asleep for more than a week. How long it can keep going remains unclear.

Walking robots might populate Mars one day, but first they need some practice on Earth. Dog-like robot Bert explored an alien-like terrain with an ISS astronaut at the controls.

NASA says the ISS is healthy enough to keep flying past 2030, as things stand today. But the agency has other factors to consider to keep the venerable complex in space.

Four astronauts are set to fly aboard SpaceX to the International Space Station no earlier than late February, NASA officials announced. They will be in space for half a year.

NASA completed a new Artemis moon program test on Jan. 23, firing one of its Space Launch System RS-25 engines for about eight minutes.

As NASA leadership paused to remember fallen astronauts, the agency urged its employees to "think smaller" and focus on all the items to keep future crews like Artemis 2 safe.

Axiom Space will provide spacesuits for the first moon landing in half a century, aiming to reach the critical design review stage in June —as the greater Artemis program battles delays.
