NASA’s Kennedy Space Center will host MAX POWER on November 7–8, 2026, bringing together aviation, spaceflight, emerging technology, and American aerospace history in one large-scale event.

Roman isn't a place, it's a person. The woman behind NASA’s next great space telescope.

Three months after Crew-12 launched to the International Space Station, CRS-34 followed with 6,500 pounds of supplies and science. Here’s a closer look at the experiments aboard and how research in space could benefit life on Earth.

A crewed launch is about far more than the moment a rocket leaves the pad. Hours before Crew-12 lifted off toward the International Space Station, astronauts Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot, and cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev shared final smiles, waves, and moments with their families before beginning their journey to orbit. From crew walkout to the brilliant Falcon 9 plume over the Space Coast, Crew-12 offered a reminder that behind every launch are people, families, an

Space Shuttle Atlantis completed its final spaceflight and mission (STS-135) on July 21, 2011. The spacecraft touched down at 5:57am EDT at the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, marking the 133rd and final landing in the history of NASA's Space Shuttle Program. Had a chance to meet the STS-135 Space Shuttle Astronauts and learn a bit more about the final Space Shuttle mission. Space Shuttle Atlantis completed its final spaceflight and mission (STS

Launch Details Target launch: April 1, 2026 at 6:24 p.m. EDT 2-hour launch window Backup opportunities through April 6 Mission Overview First crewed Artemis mission Crew: 4 astronauts (NASA + Canadian Space Agency) Duration: ~10 days Mission: Fly around the Moon and return Systems Being Tested Orion spacecraft with humans onboard Life support systems and deep space capabilities Prepares for future Moon missions

Sometimes progress is slow. Nothing exemplifies this more than the crawler-transporter that is used to transport rockets from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to launchpads out at Kennedy Space Center. It’s not surprising that the crawler makes for an incredible mental health metaphor as it encompasses the principles of stability, balance, and safety. We may not always see the progress in the moment, but with each steady step, we are getting closer to where we are meant

“Every mission to the stars begins long before the launch. It begins the moment someone dares to look up.” “Where Wonder Begins” Part of the Human in Human Spaceflight series 11 x 14 in Pen and ink on mixed media paper Following an event at the Orlando Science Center and inspired by the Space for Art Exhibit, I created this piece above. The exhibit was especially curated and presented by the Space for Art Foundation and Space for a Better World. The exhibit beautifully bl

Artemis II marks humanity’s return to deep space with a crew onboard for the first time since 1972. While often discussed as a systems test, the mission carries a robust scientific agenda focused on one critical variable: humans. From crew health and performance to real-time lunar observations, Artemis II uses human data to shape how future missions will safely and effectively explore beyond the Moon. This mission is not just about going farther. It is about understanding how

A giant balloon carries NASA’s ASTHROS telescope to the edge of space, revealing how stars shape galaxies and how new worlds begin.

On our visit to Mount Wilson Observatory, we met a celebrity of sorts. The final stop of the tour was the telescope Edwin Hubble used. Hubble, as in the man the Hubble Space Telescope was named after. Standing inside the dome and looking through the same instrument he once worked with made time feel suspended. My mind kept circling the idea that some of humanity’s greatest discoveries about the universe were made right there, in that very room. Hubble’s most famous contributi

CRS-21 delivered some of the most innovative science to the International Space Station, from brain organoids and beating heart cells to microbial mapping and asteroid biomining. Each experiment brings us closer to understanding how life adapts beyond Earth.

60-inch Telescope at Mt. Wilson Observatory-September 2025 Sometimes the part of you with the greatest potential is the one that has been waiting the longest to be understood. If you drive up the winding mountain road through the San Gabriel Mountains above Pasadena, California, you eventually reach the Mount Wilson Observatory. Founded in 1904 by George Ellery Hale and supported by the Carnegie Institution, the site became one of the most influential observatories of th

On September 24, 2025, at 7:30 a.m. EST, NASA successfully launched the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The mission marks a major step forward in heliophysics, expanding our understanding of the solar system’s boundary and the forces that shape it.

If successful, ADSEP-PIL-11 could lead to better cancer drugs and demonstrate the unique value of the ISS for biotechnology. Just like other space experiments, what we learn in orbit has the potential to benefit people all over the planet.
