The first African-American space traveler is among four men and women who will be inducted into the U. S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in Titusville, Fla., on Saturday (June 5). Guion Bluford, now 67, earned the distinction on Aug. 30, 1983, as he lifted off on the eighth...The Missions of Atlantis
Shuttle Atlantis is nearing a lift off for the 32nd and likely the last time on Friday, May 14, a strong indication that NASA’s shuttle program is nearing the retirement envisioned by the nation’s top policy makers in the aftermath of the 2003 shuttle...Caution Space Travelers: Getting Strep Throat on Mars
It’s called “forward contamination” in terms of inadvertently sending Earth bacteria to other worlds. Indeed, fouling the nest of say Mars – perhaps a niche for microbial life – is a concern of NASA researchers. New research published in the April issue of the journal...Hubble, shuttle, humans and future exploration

Another delay. This time due to the ICPS.
HOWEVER. If March is out of the question, THE NEXT LAUNCH ATTEMPT IS A DAYTIME LAUNCH.
Prior to the discovery of the helium issue on the SLS upper stage, NASA was installing platforms to access the rocket's flight termination system. Those platforms will now be removed. Here's a time-lapse showing the installation last night.
A small but mighty device has arrived at the International Space Station and it could transform how research is done in orbit.
About the size of a cellphone, the microplate reader allows astronauts to analyze biological samples directly in space, providing near real-time results
