The International Space Station has once again become the stage for groundbreaking science, as NASA continues expanding the capabilities of its Cold Atom Lab, a unique facility designed to create one of the rarest forms of matter ever observed.

NASA formally announced its Moon Base back in March 2026 and has been working on several projects simultaneously to further the objective of putting people on the moon in a more permanent capacity.  On Tuesday,

Conceptualized just a few months ago, NASA’s moon base plans are rolling out in earnest as the space agency maps out plans to deliver assets to the lunar surface.

As part of plans to establish a lunar base, the space agency may send to the moon a spare test version of the rover — as well as a soccer ball.

NASA has awarded four new lander contracts to test technology before sending astronauts back to the moon. The contracts were awarded to Astrobotic, Firefly Aerospace, and Intuitive Machines under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services program.

NASA announced the partnership on June 17, 2026. Chief Jared Isaacman called it a "force multiplier" during an event at Relativity Space because it combines NASA's scientific skills with private resources and speed.

There are more opportunities to access space than ever, thanks to a bevy of commercial rockets, some with reusable boosters, led by SpaceX’s workhorse Falcon 9. So why is NASA launching fewer telescopes and planetary science missions than it did a ...
