NASA is getting ready to launch its massive, fully expendable rocket for the first crewed flight to the Moon since Apollo. The agency’s new era of spaceflight comes with a few parts from its past, specifically three rocket engines that have previously flown on space shuttle missions.

NASA's space shuttle Challenger completed 10 missions before it broke apart during a launch in 1986, killing seven astronauts.

NASA has been forced to delay a critical fueling test for its Artemis 2 moon rocket due to unusually cold weather forecasted to hit the Space Coast this weekend.

Cold temperatures inhibited the space shuttle Challenger’s infrastructure from working properly. NASA has set potential weather conditions that would stop Artemis II from launching as scheduled.

NASA's space shuttle Challenger exploded and broke apart Jan. 28, 1986, in the sky over East-Central Florida, killing the seven astronauts on board.

NASA prepares to launch Artemis II mission in September, sending four astronauts around the Moon for the first crewed lunar mission since 1972.

A crucial test of NASA’s towering Space Launch System rocket is underway — marking one of the final steps before the vehicle launches four astronauts into deep space for the first time since the Apollo program ended more than five decades ago.

The rollout on Saturday, Jan. 17, of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket is a crucial step signaling that NASA is in the final stretches to get its first crewed lunar mission in five decades off the ground. That mission, known as Artemis 2, will send three Americans and one Canadian on a 10-day trip around the moon.
