    đźš© In the mid-6th century, the Eastern Roman Empire under Emperor Justinian I launched the Gothic War with the aim of reclaiming Italy from Ostrogothic control. After early successes under General Belisarius, including the capture of Ravenna, the Byzantine campaign stalled due to political complications and renewed Gothic resistance. By the late 540s, the Ostrogoths had regrouped under a dynamic and capable new king: Totila.

    Totila revitalized Gothic fortunes, recapturing much of Italy and even threatening Byzantine positions in the south. His combination of military prowess and efforts to win over the Italian population posed a serious challenge to Justinian’s ambitions. In response, Justinian appointed a new commander—Narses, a trusted eunuch general known more for his strategic acumen than battlefield experience. With imperial backing and a diverse army of Byzantine regulars and barbarian auxiliaries, Narses marched towards Italy…

  • NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 Feb. 27 Launch Attempt (Official NASA Broadcast in 4K)

    NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 Feb. 27 Launch Attempt (Official NASA Broadcast in 4K)

    Update: The Feb. 27 launch attempt was scrubbed so mission teams could investigate an issue preventing data from confirming a full load of the ignition source for the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage Merlin engines. The next possible launch attempt is targeted for Thursday, March 2, at 12:34 a.m. EST (0534 UTC). More details: https://blogs.nasa.gov/crew-6/

    Our #Crew6 mission to the International Space Station is targeted for liftoff at 1:45 a.m. EST (0645 UTC) on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

    NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren “Woody” Hoburg, as well as UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, will launch aboard their Dragon Endeavour spacecraft atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Visit our Crew-6 blog for the latest mission updates: https://blogs.nasa.gov/crew-6/

    This will be the fourth trip to space for Bowen, the Crew-6 mission commander, and the first space launch for the rest of the crew. They’ll spend approximately six months on the station, helping us learn how to live in space while conducting research to make life better back on Earth. Learn more about the mission, its crew, and some of the science they’ll be working on at https://go.nasa.gov/3jclMmJ.

    Following launch and ascent, NASA coverage of agency’s Crew-6 flight to the space station will temporarily switch to a streaming, audio-only feed accessible via YouTube, between ascent and the beginning of rendezvous operations. Viewers can continue to listen to real-time audio between Crew-6 and flight controllers at NASA’s Mission Audio stream (https://www.youtube.com/live/3slokO2g1v0), which also includes conversations with astronauts aboard the space station and a live video feed from the orbiting laboratory. Full coverage on NASA TV will resume at 12:45 p.m. EST (1745 UTC) on Feb. 27.

  • Artemis I Launch Attempt News Update (Sept. 3, 2022)

    Artemis I Launch Attempt News Update (Sept. 3, 2022)

    NASA leads provide a news update on the Sept. 3 launch attempt of the #Artemis I flight test.

    The launch director waived off the launch at approximately 11:17 a.m. EDT (15:17 UTC). Teams encountered a liquid hydrogen leak while loading the propellant into the core stage of the Space Launch System rocket. Engineers are continuing to gather additional data. Briefing participants include:

    NASA Administrator Bill Nelson
    Jim Free, associate administrator for Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters
    Mike Sarafin, Artemis mission manager, NASA Headquarters

    Artemis I is the first integrated flight test of the Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft that will return humanity to the Moon. As NASA’s most powerful rocket ever built, SLS will launch the uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a six-to-eight-week mission around the Moon and back to Earth. Orion will travel 280,000 miles (450,000 km) from Earth and 40,000 miles (64,000 km) beyond the far side of the Moon, carrying science and technology payloads to expand our understanding of lunar science, technology developments, and deep space radiation.

    Artemis I Launch Attempt News Update (Aug. 29, 2022)

    At 1 p.m. EDT on Monday, Aug. 29, NASA leaders gave an update on the launch of the Artemis I flight test. Following tanking operations, engineers were troubleshooting an issue conditioning one of the RS-25 engines (engine 3) on the bottom of the rocket’s core stage. All engines must reach a proper temperature range before they can be started. Teams are poring through the data and will set a new launch date and time.

  • Watch NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Spacecraft Attempt to Capture a Sample of Asteroid Bennu

    Watch NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Spacecraft Attempt to Capture a Sample of Asteroid Bennu

    Let’s do this, OSIRIS-REx! Time to journey #ToBennuAndBack. Tune in to our live broadcast as our spacecraft descends to the surface of asteroid Bennu, touches down for a few seconds & attempts to capture regolith (rocks and dust) using a “Touch-And-Go,” or TAG, maneuver. The spacecraft must target Bennu’s rocky surface with great accuracy, touching down within a rocky area just 52 ft (16 m) in diameter. During the maneuver, the spacecraft and the asteroid will be approximately 207 million miles (334 million km) from Earth.

    Live coverage from Lockheed Martin’s facility in Denver, Colorado, with mission managers from the University of Arizona, Lockheed Martin, and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center begins at 5 p.m. EDT. 

    The spacecraft is scheduled to depart Bennu in 2021, and to deliver the collected sample to Earth on Sep. 24, 2023. It will be the first U.S. mission to carry samples from an asteroid back to Earth, and the largest sample returned from space since the Apollo era.
