- Description
- Watch as the four members of NASA's SpaceX Crew-8 mission move their Dragon Endeavour spacecraft between docking ports on the International Space Station. Aboard are:
• NASA astronauts Matt Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Jeanette Epps
• Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin
The crew's Dragon spacecraft will physically separate from the forward-facing port of the station's Harmony module at 8:55 a.m EDT (1255 UTC), then dock at the station's space-facing Harmony port at 9:38 a.m. EDT (1338 UTC). The spacecraft is relocating to make room for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, currently scheduled to arrive in May.

- Watch live as two NASA astronauts launch from Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft as one of the final steps on the road to certification. Launch of the ULA (United Launch Alliance) Atlas V rocket and Starliner spacecraft is targeted for 10:34 p.m. EDT Monday, May 6 (0234 UTC Tuesday, May 7) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The two NASA astronauts aboard, flight commander Butch Wilmore and pilot Suni Williams, will test the end-to-end capabilities of the Starliner system, including launch, docking, and return to Earth. After a one-week stay docked to the International Space Station, the Starliner and crew will land under parachutes in the western United States.
Launch coverage on NASA+ (https://plus.nasa.gov) will end shortly after Starliner orbital insertion. NASA Television (https://nasa.gov/nasatv) will provide continuous coverage leading up to docking and through hatch opening and welcome remarks.

- Join NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams for a question-and-answer session ahead of their launch aboard Boeing Starliner's Crew Flight Test. Set for Monday, May 6, 2024, at 10:34 p.m. EDT (0234 UTC, May 7) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, this is the first flight of this spacecraft to carry humans.
As the final flight test for Starliner, NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test will validate the transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, in-orbit operational capabilities, and return to Earth with astronauts aboard. This is Boeing's second flight to the International Space Station and third Starliner flight test overall, following an Orbital Flight Test—the uncrewed mission also known as OFT-2—in May 2022. Boeing also completed pad abort demonstration in November 2019.

- At 1:47 a.m. EST (6:47 UTC) on Nov. 16, 2022, NASA’s Orion spacecraft launched atop the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket from historic Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on a path to the Moon, officially beginning the Artemis I mission.
Over the course of 25.5 days, Orion performed two lunar flybys, coming within 80 miles (129 kilometers) of the lunar surface. At its farthest distance during the mission, Orion traveled nearly 270,000 miles (435,000 kilometers) from our home planet. NASA’s Orion spacecraft successfully completed a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean at 9:40 a.m. PST (12:40 p.m. EST) as the final major milestone of the Artemis I mission.
Artemis I set new records of performance, exceeded efficiency expectations, and established new safety baselines for humans in deep space. This is a prelude to what comes next—following the success of Artemis I, human beings will fly around the Moon on Arte...

- On April 8, 2024, North America's last total solar eclipse until 2045 moved across the continent. It made landfall in Mexico, crossed the United States from Texas to Maine, and departed across Canada’s Atlantic coast.
This video offers viewers highlights of the eclipse from NASA's live commentary. Different vantage points include the International Space Station, WB-57 aircraft, and 12 telescopes stationed across North America.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky darkens as if it were dawn or dusk.

In December 1965, Stafford piloted Gemini VI, the first rendezvous in space, and helped develop techniques to prove the basic theory and practicality of space rendezvous.
Later he commanded Gemini IX and performed a demonstration of an early rendezvous that would be used in the Apollo lunar missions, the first optical rendezvous, and a lunar orbit abort rendezvous.
He served as the commander of the Apollo 10 ‘dress rehearsal’ mission preparing for the first Moon landing and as Apollo commander of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) mission, a joint space flight culminating in the historic first meeting in space between American Astronauts and Soviet Cosmonauts, which ended the International space race.
Throughout his career, Stafford helped us push the boundaries of what's possible in air and space, flying more than 100 different types of aircraft.

- Description
- We're saddened by the passing of Astronaut Richard Truly at the age of 86.
In 1965, Truly became one of the first military astronauts selected to the Air Force’s Manned Orbiting Laboratory program and transferred to NASA as an astronaut in August 1969. He served as capsule communicator for all three Skylab missions in 1973 and the Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975. He was pilot for one of the two-astronaut crews that flew the 747/Space Shuttle Enterprise approach and landing test flights during 1977. He then was backup pilot for STS-1, the first orbital test of the Shuttle. His first space flight was as pilot of Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-2), significant as the first piloted spacecraft to be reflown in space. His second flight (STS-8) was as commander of Space Shuttle Challenger, the first night launch and landing in the Shuttle program.
The former Shuttle astronaut served as the first commander of the Naval Space Command in Dahlgren, Virginia, established Oct...
