Though the Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Dream Chaser spaceplane was kicked out of the running to ferry crew to the International Space Station (ISS), a variation on the craft may still end up visiting the station. As part of its bid to win NASA’s Commercial Resupply Services 2 (CRS2) contract,…| New Atlas
In a contract worth up to US$843 million, NASA has selected SpaceX to design the "US Deorbit Vehicle." The spacecraft will bring the $150 billion International Space Station out of orbit to safely and burn up in our atmosphere at 3,000 ºF (1,649 ºC).| New Atlas
NASA has released its updated plans that outline the International Space Station's (ISS) final years leading up to its eventual disposal in 2030, when it will plunge into the Earth's atmosphere and burn up somewhere over the South Pacific Ocean.| New Atlas
Commercial traffic at the International Space Station (ISS) is set to get more congested with news that the Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) has been given the green light for its Dream Chaser spacecraft to visit the orbital laboratory in late 2020. The Authority to Proceed notification opens the…| New Atlas
Sierra Space and NASA have renegotiated their contract for the Dream Chaser spaceplane that will allow the spacecraft to make its first orbital flight next year as a free flier instead of visiting the International Space Station (ISS).| New Atlas

In a red-faced turn of events, NASA has announced that the two Starliner astronauts "not stranded" on the International Space Station (ISS) will be returning to Earth aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, which is only the start of the problems.| New Atlas
The saga of the "not stranded" Starliner astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) has taken an embarrassing turn with NASA admitting that their one-week visit to the orbiting lab could be extended into 2025 and they may come home in a SpaceX Dragon.| New Atlas
NASA says that the astronauts sent to the International Space Station aboard Boeing's malfunctioning Starliner spacecraft are "not stranded in space." However, Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams may be staying in orbit for a very long time.| New Atlas
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft can't seem to catch a break. Although it ultimately successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS), five of the capsule's reaction thrusters malfunctioned, delaying docking by over an hour.| New Atlas
It was umpteenth time lucky for Boeing today, as its Starliner spacecraft roared into orbit. At 10:52 am EDT, the capsule carrying astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station atop an Atlas V rocket.| New Atlas
