Experts agree China is a valid threat to NASA's return to the moon plans. Here's why there is a rush to get SLS off the launch pad.

The weather had been poor for days, with the mission originally scrubbing on May 12 and then being postponed until the early hours of May 13. The bad weather finally moved offshore, and the Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 1:02 a.m. from NASA's Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A with 28 Starlink internet satellites.

Lockheed Martin handed off the Orion spacecraft for NASA’s Artemis II mission that looks to fly four astronauts around the moon no later than April 2026.

Californians should have yet another chance to see a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket soaring high in the sky this week.

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) ("Rocket Lab" or "the Company"), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced the launch window for its next mission for real-time space-based intelligence company BlackSky (NYSE: BSKY).

After launching from Cape Canaveral in January, Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket could fly again by late spring.
