NASA has amended plans to acquire a U.S. Deorbit Vehicle capable of executing a controlled deorbit of the International Space Station.

Ground controllers saw flakes coming from the leak site—on one of two radiators—on Oct. 9 at about 1 p.m. EDT, using externally mounted ISS cameras, NASA says.

Designated Progress 85 by NASA, the Russian space freighter MS-24 linked to the aft port of the ISS Russian segment's Zvezda service module at 11:45 p.m. EDT.

Thrusters on the International Space Station Russian segment’s Zvezda service module were commanded to fire for an orbital debris avoidance maneuver.

India trumped a Russian effort to conduct the first in situ science experiments in a water-bearing region of the Moon.

NASA is seeking industry input in developing a strategy for a commercial, controlled end-of-life deorbit of the International Space Station.

Cosmonauts made progress with an upgrade to the International Space Station (ISS) Russian segment’s Nauka Multipurpose Laboratory Module.

Russia’s disabled Soyuz MS-22 crew transport departed the ISS early March 28 for an uncrewed, parachute-assisted descent to Earth in Kazakhstan.

SpaceX’s 27th NASA-contracted resupply mission to the International Space Station autonomously docked to the ISS early March 16.

Four crewmembers aboard the ISS are praising the cooperation and teamwork necessary to execute their mission as their time on the ISS draws to a close.

Russia’s Soyuz MS-23 docked to the ISS late Feb. 25 to replace its ailing Soyuz MS-22 predecessor.

Russia’s uncrewed Soyuz MS-23 crew transport capsule was on a trajectory to reach the ISS late Feb. 25 following a successful launch from Kazakhstan on Feb. 23.

The Russian Progress MS-21 resupply capsule completed a destructive re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.

The launch of the uncrewed Soyuz MS-23 spaceship to the International Space Station has been postponed until early March.

The leak aboard Progress MS-21, dubbed Progress 82 by NASA, follows a similar coolant leak detected late Dec. 14 aboard the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft.

Despite technical glitches, Ariane 6’s final test campaign is now well underway.

A U.S. astronaut’s seat liner will be moved from the damaged Russian MS-22 capsule to the SpaceX Endurance Crew Dragon capsule in case of emergency.

The next Soyuz spacecraft, designated MS-23, will launch uncrewed on Feb. 20.

NASA and Roscosmos continue to pursue an astronaut/cosmonaut crew exchange agreement for Soyuz and NASA Commercial Crew launches to the International Space Station.

The data will assist with understanding how spaceflight affects human physical and mental health.

NASA management disagrees with a conclusion reached by the agency’s inspector general (IG) in a report issued Nov. 30.

NASA and Russian federal space agency Roscosmos are assembling teams of experts to assess the unanticipated thruster firings of Russia’s Nauka module following its docking with the International Space Station.

Launch of the long-delayed Nauka was planned for July 15, but technical issues have pushed back the launch.

The head of Russia’s Roscosmos State Corp., Dmitry Rogozin, has proposed creating a legal responsibility for leaving debris in orbit.

Russia has successfully orbited the first Arktika-M hydrometeorological satellite that will boost its weather monitoring capabilities in the Arctic region.
