The U.S. national security space agencies will remain with incumbents United Launch Alliance and SpaceX for medium and heavy-lift launch services over the next five years

A prototype Mars-class reusable spaceship developed by SpaceX took a nearly 500-ft (150 m) hop off a launch stand near Brownsville, Texas, on Aug. 4, marking the company’s first successful Starship test flight in a year.

Astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken praised the NASA/SpaceX team behind their test flight and expressed hope the public/private partnership continues to thrive.

The House Armed Services Committee proposes investing $150 million in space technology development in the chairman’s mark of the fiscal 2021 defense policy bill.

Four days after launching astronauts for a flight test of its commercial space taxi, SpaceX fired off another Falcon 9 rocket to resume building out its Starlink satellite network for high-speed internet service.

“Things worked exactly the way we expected them to work," Demo-2 astronaut Doug Hurley said. " It’s a pretty awe-inspiring trip so far, pretty humbling,”

“I’m very confident that we’ll continue to fund NASA and fund NASA aggressively,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said shortly after SpaceX's Demo-2 mission successfully docked with the International Space Station.

SpaceX's first Dragon capsule to carry astronauts will remain docked for up to four months at the space station.

The 3:22 p.m. liftoff marked SpaceX’s first launch with people aboard and the first U.S. human orbital launch since the final STS-135 shuttle mission in July 2011.

With preparations for SpaceX’s first human spaceflight drawing to a close, the company's President and Chief Operating Officer Gwynne Shotwell talks with Aviation Week & Space Technology space editor Irene Klotz about lessons learned for Starship and plans for the rollout of Starlink.

Musk talks to Aviation Week & Space Technology Space Editor Irene Klotz about finally getting to human spaceflight and what’s ahead.

While its space taxi won’t be first to fly astronauts, Boeing commits to the long game.

After 18 years, 89 launches and thousands of tests, SpaceX attempts human spaceflight.

In an exclusive interview with Aviation Week Space Editor Irene Klotz, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk discusses the riskiest part of the upcoming NASA Commercial Crew Demo-2 launch, the need to further reduce launch costs and the prospects for the Starlink internet service project.

Ask the Editors: The global space economy is projected to exceed $1.1 trillion by 2040, but it is unclear how COVID-19 will affect that.

When Vice President Pence told NASA to land astronauts on the Moon by 2024 “by any means possible,” he may have opened a Pandora’s box.

It is unlikely the heavy-lift launch market can support more than two U.S. launch providers in the long term, according to a long-awaited report the U

The agency anticipates spending a total of $7 billion over 15 years—shared among multiple companies—to carry cargo to the Gateway as part of its Artemis lunar exploration program.

The mission will mark the first flight of astronauts aboard a U.S. orbital spaceship since space shuttle Atlantis rolled to a stop at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 21, 2011

The 156-1/2-ft.-long core stage launched commercial re-supply missions to the International Space Station in June and December of 2017.

“The really dangerous future” is autonomous drone warfare, SpaceX Founder Elon Musk said Feb. 28 during the annual Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando.

Gerstenmaier, 65, left NASA last year after being reassigned by Administrator Jim Bridenstine in July to serve as a special advisor to Deputy Administrator Jim Morhard.

As NASA’s deep-space human exploration plans gain momentum, policy makers must avoid subjecting the agency to fluctuations in goals, ambiguous objectives and inadequate budgets, a report says.

SpaceX has opened what it hopes will be a bustling 2020 launch manifest of 35-38 missions with the Jan. 6 liftoff of a Falcon 9 rocket carrying a third batch of Starlink broadband comm sats.
