NASA space launch system

Alabama is leading NASA in new research on nuclear propulsion. The Space Nuclear Propulsion Project at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville is developing engines to take humans and large amounts of cargo into deep space

A civilian trip to the International Space Station and bits of an asteroid could keep the U.S. Space Program and the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville busy in 2023.

NASA is going over data from its Orion crew capsule before declaring the mission a success. The Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville is managing the spacecraft and the new rocket that launched it to Earth orbit.

NASA is already looking ahead to the next chapter in its plan to send astronauts back to the Moon. The agency’s Orion crew capsule successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after its mission on autopilot around the moon and back.

NASA’s Orion space capsule set a personal record. The spacecraft was built and managed by the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.

A NASA space capsule built and managed by Alabama’s Marshall Space Flight Center is set for a major milestone today. The unmanned Orion capsule is scheduled to arrive at the Moon. The maneuver is part of its mission to test the vehicle that was launched aboard the new Artemis one rocket.

NASA's new moon rocket blasted off on its debut flight, fifty years after the historic Apollo lunar flights carried twelve astronauts to the surface of Earth’s nearest neighbor in space. The Artemis rocket carries the Orion crew capsule. Both vehicles were designed, and are managed at, the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.

NASA’s Artemis moon rocket may not be able to launch until mid-October. Another hydrogen fuel leak forced mission to cancel a second blastoff attempt over the weekend. NASA says the new problem is deep into the engine compartment of the rocket that’s designed, tested, and managed at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville
