Hybrid-propellant rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellant, typically involving a liquid oxidizer being pumped through a hollow cylinder of solid fuel. All current spacecraft use conventional chemical rockets (solid-fuel or liquid bipropellant) for launch, though some [note 3] have used air-breathing engines on their first stage ...
Comparison of NASA Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle spacecraft with their launch vehicles. This is a list of NASA missions, both crewed and robotic, since the establishment of NASA in 1957. There are over 80 currently active science missions. [1]
NASA's Space Launch System rocket is seen atop pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center before its maiden flight in 2022. Its second flight, carrying a crew of four, is scheduled for launch in April 2026.

NASA's GOES-U launched on June 25, with the capability to detect coronal mass ejections. JAXA's ALOS-4 launched on July 1. It carries PALSAR-3 (Phased Array type L-band Synthetic ...
NASA will launch sounding rockets and WB-57 high-altitude planes to conduct research on aspects of the sun and Earth that‘s only possible during an eclipse. The efforts are part of a long ...
NASA originally limited the amount of time the solid rocket boosters can remain stacked to "about a year" from the time two segments are joined. [205] The first and second segments of the Artemis I boosters were joined on 7 January 2021. [206] NASA could choose to extend the time limit based on an engineering review. [207]
