NASA plans to launch a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars by 2028, a major step for deep space exploration and its planned moon base.

The U.S. space agency will aim to send a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars—a first—in a bid to show that nuclear propulsion can be used to send missions into deep space

NASA's latest photos from the Artemis II mission show Earth in stunning details as the astronauts near a milestone distance of 100,000 miles away.

NASA astronauts design mission patches to tell the story of each shuttle mission, a tradition dating back to the 1960s. Here’s what’s behind the Artemis II emblem.

Artemis II will test NASA’s crew capabilities in deep space and gather more information that could ultimately help send astronauts to Mars.

Just a few days ago, NASA announced a bold plan to send a brand-new vehicle to Mars in 2028. It will carry the planned Skyfall payload, full of Ingenuity-class fliers, which should greatly increase scientists' understanding of the Red Planet's composition—but it's the ship's power and propulsion system that are truly exciting.

The engine burn is a pivotal move that will put the astronauts on a path that humans haven’t traveled in half a century — one with plenty of risks.

NASA is no longer planning short visits to the Moon, it is preparing to build a permanent base that could support long-term human life. This project involves new technologies, the use of lunar materials,
