NASA and NOAA launch three satellites to monitor space weather, protecting vital technologies like GPS and power grids from solar storms.

The two NASA missions are the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe, or IMAP, and the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory. The NOAA mission is known as the Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1, or SWFO-L1.

NASA rover Perseverance collected evidence being considered by agency officials as 'the closest we have ever come to discovering life on Mars.'

And NASA is now holding online events both today (Sept. 23) and Wednesday (Sept. 24) to discuss the Artemis 2 mission, which will launch four astronauts on a journey around the moon in early 2026, if all goes to plan.

It will be several years before any of these new commercial space stations circle the Earth at around 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) and several years before the ISS is deorbited in 2030.

NASA on Monday introduced the 10 people who will join the agency’s astronaut corps as it races to return humans to the moon.

The president's budget request called for about a 20 percent cut, overall, to NASA's budget, at a top-line level of $18.81 billion. By contrast, the House budget proposes to keep funding levels nearly identical to the current fiscal year, at $24.84 billion.
