Mission

NASA has opened the doors to the restored Mission Control Center (MCC) from which Apollo-era flight controllers guided astronauts on the first bold voyages to the Moon. The agency has also released a time-lapse video showing the multimillion-dollar project unfold.

NASA'S MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft has ended its phenomenally successful mission by smashing into the surface of Mercury at speeds of over 8,700 miles per hour

Another celestial body has been added to NASA's bucket list as the space agency officially asks the US Congress for US$30 million for the first mission aimed at exploring Jupiter’s moon Europa.

For decades, landing on Mars has captivated the imagination of earthlings as the obvious next step in space exploration after landing on the moon, but NASA is also looking into ways to send a manned mission to a more forbidding neighbor – Venus.

As Philae begins its long sleep, mankind's attention shifts back to the Rosetta spacecraft as she begins the next phase of her mission. Over the course of the next year, Rosetta will become the first spacecraft to orbit and observe a comet as it approaches the Sun.

An unmanned resupply mission to the International Space Station has suffered a catastrophic failure six seconds after launch from the Wallops Island launch facility, Virginia. All personnel have been accounted for with zero injuries, however damage was sustained to the launch site.

Following an exhaustive scientific analysis, mission operators at the ESA have confirmed Site J as the primary landing location for Rosetta's Philae lander. If all goes to plan, Nov. 12 will see the first-ever attempted soft landing of a spacecraft on a comet.

NASA has launched a high-altitude sounding rocket to capture ultraviolet starlight using a spectrograph, to determine the composition of interstellar dust clouds and their likelihood of being the future birthplace of new stars.

SpaceX’s Dragon CRS-3 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) has once again been delayed. This time the delay is due to the failure of a tracking radar, which meant that the launch could not meet the minimum public safety requirements.

NASA has announced that its next mission to Mars will be the InSight lander, to be launched in 2016.

Scientists have accidentally discovered that the atmosphere on Venus is 60 percent thinner than expected by measuring drag of the Venus Express satellite.

The lunar impact of NASA's Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite is being broadcast live on NASA's own TV channel on October 9th
