Next-Gen suit for NASA's work for space station missions debuts
A next-generation spacesuit - in effect an astronaut's personal spaceship - will advance NASA's spacewalking capabilities in low Earth orbit and at the International Space Station.
Collins Aerospace, working with partners ILC Dover and Oceaneering, is designing and building a new suit for NASA. Designed to fit the diverse astronaut corps size range and provide a broader range of motion, th Russia releases first feature film shot in space
The first feature film shot in space premiered in Russian cinemas on Thursday, as Moscow delighted in beating a rival Hollywood project amid a confrontation with the West over Ukraine.
"The Challenge" is about a surgeon dispatched to the International Space Station (ISS) to save an injured cosmonaut.

Each year, thousands of space rocks pierce through the Earth's atmosphere and hit the ground as meteorites. These fragments of comets and asteroids can land anywhere but are most often spotted in open terrain, such as the deserts of Africa and the Antarctic blue ice, where a meteorite's blackened exterior can stand out.
Still, these extraterrestrial remnants can resemble Earth rocks, and t SpaceX searches for answers after Starship's fiery demise
The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded SpaceX's Starship hours after a test launch from Texas ended with the destruction of the spacecraft and its booster.
While the spacecraft cleared the launch pad, the Super Heavy booster carrying it failed to separate from the second stage and subsequently exploded.
The rocket lifted off at 9:33 a.m. EDT and reached the altitude where s Old NASA satellite plunges to Earth over Sahara Desert
An old NASA satellite that studied the sun for more than a decade fell to Earth over the Sahara Desert, the space agency reported Thursday.
SpaceX giant rocket explodes minutes after launch from Texas
SpaceX's giant new rocket exploded minutes after blasting off Thursday on it first test flight and crashed into the Gulf of Mexico.
Elon Musk's company was aiming to send the nearly 400-foot (120-meter) Starship rocket on a round-the-world trip from the southern tip of Texas, near the Mexican border. It carried no people or satellites.
Images showed multiple engines weren't working on the 33-engine rocket as it climbed from the launch pad, reaching as high as 24 miles (39 kilometers.)
The flight plan had called for the booster to peel away from the spacecraft minutes after liftoff, but that didn't happen. The rocket began to tumble and then exploded four minutes into the flight, plummeting into the gulf.
Introducing World Cereal
Global food security is a major challenge in the face of population growth and climate change. One of the first steps in achieving food security for all is to know which crops are growing where and how – each season. Launching today, ESA’s WorldCereal is the world’s first dynamic system capable of providing seasonally updated crop information to help monitor agricultural production across the globe.
