Artemis II astronauts embark on historic Nasa mission (AP image) As Nasa’s Artemis II mission launches, the astronauts have brought along a carefully curated stockpile of food designed to keep them healthy, full and energized throughout their journey around the Moon. Ever wondered what the crew is eating as they make history, venturing beyond Earth…
Artemis II was launched on Thursday. In a major leap for human spaceflight, Nasa’s Artemis II mission successfully executed a critical engine burn late Thursday, sending its crew out of Earth’s orbit and onto a path toward the moon.The trans-lunar injection took place about 25 hours after liftoff, placing three American astronauts and one Canadian…

(NASA via AP) NASA Artemis II moon mission is launched and hours after the liftoff, it appears that the astronauts’ crew – Commander…
Nasa on Wednesday (local time) confirmed that the Orion spacecraft had successfully separated from the rocket’s upper stage as part of the Artemis II mission. The agency said that proximity operations tests were now underway.Sharing the video of the separation online, Nasa said astronauts aboard Orion were manually piloting the spacecraft in a way similar…
BENGALURU: At 3.35am Thursday (IST), a 322-foot rocket lit up the Florida sky and carried four astronauts beyond the reach of Earth’s orbit — the first humans to make that journey in 54 years.Nasa’s Artemis II mission is now in flight, and the Moon is six days away.The SLS rocket and the Orion spacecraft —…
The night before a major event, be it a major event in one’s life or a major event in space, is often a time filled with nervous energy, and astronauts are no exception. As NASA gears up for its historic mission to the Moon, a mission that marks a return to the Moon after over…
Space travel is not as easy as it looks, though. The human body is not designed to function properly outside the gravitational pull of Earth. Muscles atrophy, bones become less dense, and walking becomes an exercise. Space travel is not an easy feat, especially when planning to travel to Mars. One thing that scientists are…
NASA have made new announcements about major milestones achieved for the Artemis II rocket, with a planned liftoff on April 1, 2026. Very early on March 20, the complete Artemis vehicle, consisting of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft, executed a successful rollout to the launch pad after substantial repairs were…
As we explore more of the universe, the physical impacts of living in microgravity continue to be one of the primary obstacles to long-term space travel. Research on Assessment of Jugular Venous Blood Flow Stasis and Thrombosis During Spaceflight suggests that astronauts may face a potential “silent” risk of developing Venous Thromboembolism during long-duration space…
