  • NASA Announces 2021 Class of Astronaut Candidates

    NASA Announces 2021 Class of Astronaut Candidates

    After evaluating more than 12,000 applications, we’ll introduce our 2021 astronaut candidates live at a ceremony at Ellington Field near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

    After completing training, these women and men could be eligible for a variety of flight assignments including missions on and around the Moon under Artemis.

    The astronaut candidates will join NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy, Johnson Center Director Vanessa Wyche, and Flight Operations Director Norm Knight on stage at the event.

  • NASA Announces Astronaut Crews for First Commercial Vehicle Flights

    NASA Announces Astronaut Crews for First Commercial Vehicle Flights

    NASA announces the men and women who will be on board the first flights of the new spaceships built by Boeing and SpaceX when Americans are once again launched into space from the USA.
    News release: https://go.nasa.gov/2KoGhVS

    The nine astronauts targeted to make the first flights on the Boeing CST-100 Starliner and SpaceX Crew Dragon share their thoughts about the assignment and the importance of this new capability to support the International Space Station as part of the nation’s overall space exploration plan.

  • NASA Announces Latest Progress, Upcoming Milestones in Hunt for Asteroids

    NASA Announces Latest Progress, Upcoming Milestones in Hunt for Asteroids

    NASA is on the hunt for an asteroid to capture with a robotic spacecraft, redirect to a stable orbit around the moon, and send astronauts to study in the 2020s — all on the agency’s human Path to Mars. Agency officials announced on Thursday recent progress to identify candidate asteroids for its Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM), increase public participation in the search for asteroids, and advance the mission’s design.
    NASA plans to launch the ARM robotic spacecraft in 2019 and will make a final choice of the asteroid for the mission about a year before the spacecraft launches. NASA is working on two concepts for the mission: the first is to fully capture a very small asteroid in open space, and the second is to collect a boulder-sized sample off of a much larger asteroid. The agency will choose between these two concepts in late 2014 and further refine the mission’s design.

    NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope made recent observations of an asteroid, designated 2011 MD, which bears the characteristics of a good candidate for the full capture concept. While NASA will continue to look for other candidate asteroids during the next few years as the mission develops, astronomers are making progress to find suitable candidate asteroids for humanity’s next destination into the solar system.

  • NASA Announces Asteroid Grand Challenge

    NASA Announces Asteroid Grand Challenge

    NASA announced Tuesday a Grand Challenge focused on finding all asteroid threats to human populations and knowing what to do about them.

    The challenge, which was announced at an asteroid initiative industry and partner day at NASA Headquarters in Washington, is a large-scale effort that will use multi-disciplinary collaborations and a variety of partnerships with other government agencies, international partners, industry, academia, and citizen scientists. It complements NASA’s recently announced mission to redirect an asteroid and send humans to study it.

  • NASA Announces Asteroid Identification, Capture and Sampling Initiative

    NASA Announces Asteroid Identification, Capture and Sampling Initiative

    President Obama’s FY2014 budget request for NASA enables the agency to leverage capabilities in the Human Exploration and Operations, Science and Space Technology Mission Directorates to make significant yet affordable advances in our nation’s capabilities and achieve the space goals set by the Administration. NASA will improve detection and characterization of asteroids, pursue solar electric propulsion demonstration, develop a mechanism to capture an asteroid and redirect it to a stable orbit in the Earth-moon system and begin designing a mission to send humans to it using the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft.
