Following three failed attempts at completing a wet dress rehearsal involving its next-generation lunar rocket, NASA is now discussing when to try again.

An out-of-control rocket that's forecast to crash into the moon next month was originally thought to belong to SpaceX. But new research suggests otherwise.

California startup Astra has failed in its effort to deploy four small satellites into orbit after its rocket spun out of control minutes after launch.

Part of an out-of-control SpaceX rocket is set to slam into the moon in March after tumbling through space for the last seven years.

Rocket startup Astra had hoped to reach orbit for the first time this weekend, but its Rocket 3 suffered an engine problem and failed to reach orbit.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is about to take a ride in a rocket built by his suborbital spaceflight company, Blue Origin. Here's how to watch.

A large Chinese rocket that launched to space last week is now tumbling out of control, with some experts suggesting debris will hit Earth in the coming days.

Watch NASA conduct a full-length test of the core stage of its next-generation Space Launch System rocket destined to take astronauts to the moon.

SpaceX earlier this week lost a Falcon 9 booster when it failed to reach a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. The landing mishap was its first since March 2020.

NASA is promising a spectacular show of rocket power on Saturday with a hot fire of its mighty SLS rocket — and you can watch it live online.

The Astra rocket, code named Rocket 3.1, launched successfully but failed to reach orbit due to a problem during the first stage burn.

ULA is about to launch a spy satellite on its triple-core Delta IV rocket, the second most powerful rocket in service today. Here's how to watch.

Private Japanese space company Interstellar Technologies suffered another hiccup on Sunday when its MOMO-5 rocket crashed in the sea shortly after lift-off.

This week a new group of astronauts headed for the International Space Station. Astronaut Christina Koch was looking forward to being joined by her best friend and fellow NASA astronaut Jessica Meir, so she decided to capture an image of the incoming craft from her perspective on board the ISS.

NASA's Space Launch System should be the next generation of rocket, suitable for launching heavy payloads and traveling to deep space. But the project has been troubled, suffering from delays and ballooning costs. Progress is being made, however, and recently NASA shared an update on the rocket.

Jeff Bezos’ aerospace company Blue Origin has carried out a test firing of its BE-7 engine, the propulsion system which it hopes will help humankind land on the moon for the first time since 1972. Check out a video showing the impressive test firing, which took place this week.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is having another go at launching the first 60 satellites for its ultra-ambitious Starlink internet constellation. Provided that all goes according to plan, that is! Here's how you can tune in live to watch the Falcon 9 launch as it goes down later today.

The Falcon Heavy, the world’s most powerful rocket in current operation, will launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, today in what will be its first commercial mission. This will be Falcon Heavy’s second flight after a maiden flight in early 2018.

The French space agency CNES working with European aerospace company Ariane Group, has unveiled a plan to create an "acceleration platform" called ArianeWords, which will begin with a first-stage rocket that is reusable for multiple launches. The first-stage rocket should make launches cheaper to implement.

U.K. startup Orbex has unveiled the world’s largest 3D-printed rocket engine. The rocket is up to 30 percent lighter and 20 percent more efficient than other similarly sized rockets. It can also better withstand high temperature and pressure. Here's how it will be used.

Private space company Virgin Galactic recently donated the record-breaking rocket motor of SpaceShipTwo — aka VSS Unity — to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The rocket powered Unity to the edge of space at almost three times the speed of sound in a test mission on December 13, 2018.

A rocket has launched over Virginia's eastern shore, carrying supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). The rocket used was an Antares developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation. Inside the spacecraft are supplies for the ISS itself and the crew onboard, such as scientific equipment and food.
