The proposal includes notable shifts within NASA's funding, reinforcing commitments to lunar and Mars exploration while drastically reducing funding for other programs:
NASA is looking ahead to the next wave of private astronaut missions to the International Space Station (ISS)
Airbus Defence and Space are set to take on a crucial role in reigniting Europe's flagship Mars exploration mission following its selection by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Thales Alenia Space to build the landing platform for ExoMars; replacing a component that was originally to be supplied by Russia.
NASA has officially announced the four-member crew for the upcoming SpaceX Crew-11 mission, the 11th crew rotation flight to the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
In a carefully choreographed final sequence, ESA has officially ended operations of its Gaia spacecraft; “We will never forget Gaia, and Gaia will never forget us,” - Uwe Lammers, Gaia Mission Manager.
UK electric propulsion startup Magdrive has secured $10.5 million in seed funding, setting the stage for its expansion into the U.S. market and the development of its high-power electric plasma thrusters.
The European Space Agency (ESA) is set to navigate the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft through its closest encounter with Venus to date; this historic gravity-assist maneuver will bring the spacecraft within just 379 kilometers (235 miles) of the planet’s surface—closer than the altitude of the International Space Station above Earth.
In a historic moment for government human spaceflight, the European Space Agency (ESA) has announced that John McFall, a reserve astronaut in its corps, has been medically cleared for long-duration missions to the International Space Station (ISS).
In a significant milestone for European lunar exploration, Thales Alenia Space has secured a contract worth nearly $900 million to develop and deliver the Lunar Descent Element (LDE) for the Argonaut cargo lander.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has awarded Thales Alenia Space a €367 million ($383 million USD) contract to lead the development of EnVision, a groundbreaking satellite mission designed to explore Venus.
