Space Launch System

Honeybee Robotics has outlined a plan to build a kind of power grid on the Moon, with a network of Statue of Liberty-sized towers containing solar panels and batteries that provide power and communications, and even act as streetlights.

It's another return to the drawing board for NASA scientists and engineers working on the Artemis I mission, which was due to lift off on Saturday until a hydrogen leak led to a last-minute scrubbing.

As the August launch date for NASA's first Artemis lunar mission approaches, Northrop Grumman has released a dramatic video of a full-scale static fire test of the giant solid-fueled Flight Support Booster-2 that will power the Space Launch System.

NASA's massive new Moon rocket is inching closer to lift-off, with the Space Launch System today exiting its Vehicle Assembly building for the first time and making its way for the launch pad for what's known as a wet dress rehearsal.

Russian scientists have proposed a novel way to accelerate a spaceship while in flight – firing a ground-based laser up its backside. The new technique uses a plasma flow caused by laser ablation to increase the exhaust efficiency of a traditional rocket propulsion system.

Earlier this month, NASA carried out tests on a new flight system for the Space Launch System (SLS) using an F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet as a stand in as a way to carry out more tests at lower costs.

NASA’s giant crawler transporters that carried the Apollo missions and the Space Shuttles to the launch pad are getting an overhaul.
