  • NASA Selects 2025 Astronaut Candidates

    NASA Selects 2025 Astronaut Candidates

    Meet our newest astronaut candidates!

    Live from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, we’re introducing our 2025 class of astronaut candidates to the public for the first time. Chosen from over 8,000 applicants, these candidates will undergo nearly two years of training before they graduate as astronauts, eligible for missions to the Moon and beyond.

    Our astronaut corps is pushing the boundaries of exploration—from conducting scientific research on the International Space Station, to preparing for our Artemis missions to the Moon, to inspiring the next generation of explorers and innovators.

  • NASA Selects Next-Generation Spacesuits for Artemis, International Space Station

    NASA Selects Next-Generation Spacesuits for Artemis, International Space Station

    Live from Johnson Space Center in Houston, we’ll announce the company, or companies, that will move forward in developing the next generation of spacesuits for the International Space Station and for Artemis missions at the Moon.

    Teams are developing new spacesuits to unlock new spacewalk capabilities outside the International Space Station and allow humans to explore the lunar surface. Under Artemis, new exploration spacesuits, together with human surface mobility systems, the Space Launch System rocket, the Orion Spacecraft, ground systems, Gateway, and human landing systems, will enable NASA to establish a long-term presence at the Moon and to eventually explore Mars.
