Boeing's Starliner Faces Further Delays, Potentially a Decade Behind Original Schedule

Overview Boeing's CST-100 Starliner program continues to face significant schedule challenges. According to a recent assessment by NASA's Office of Inspector General, the spacecraft's certification process may not be completed until 2027. This would place the program approximately a decade behind Boeing's

NASA Expresses Uncertainty Over Boeing Starliner's Future for Human Spaceflight

NASA Questions Starliner's Crew Certification Future Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft may never achieve certification for human spaceflight, according to statements from NASA officials. The space agency has expressed uncertainty about the program's future, potentially signaling a significant shift in its commercial crew strategy. The

LINK Spacecraft Prepares to Boost NASA’s Swift Observatory Orbit

A first-of-its-kind mission to raise the orbit of NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is poised for launch no earlier than Thursday, July 2, at 5:09 a.m. EDT (9:09 p.m. UTC+12). The robotic servicing spacecraft, called LINK, was built by Katalyst Space. It will

NASA's Webb Telescope Reveals How a Planet Survived its Star's Death

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope continues to reveal the secrets of the universe, this time offering a glimpse into the far-future of planetary systems. According to NASA, the Webb telescope is studying how a planet managed to survive the death of its Sun-like star. Billions of years ago,

NASA Moves Forward with Lunar Surface Power Solicitation, Teases RTG-Powered Rover

NASA is advancing its Artemis program with new efforts to establish reliable power infrastructure on the lunar surface.

The solicitation signals NASA's

NASA's TESS Mission Detects Exoplanet Using Gravitational Wave Method

NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission has achieved a new milestone by detecting a planetary system through an unconventional method. For the first time, TESS identified a planet by observing ripples in space-time—gravitational waves—rather than the transit technique the spacecraft typically employs. The newly discovered
