NASA moon rocket back in hangar as Ian approaches Cape Canaveral

NASA’s moon rocket returned to the safety of its hangar Tuesday as Hurricane Ian approached Florida. Early Thursday morning, the National Hurricane Center adjusted the path for Hurricane Ian, shifting the storm just to the north of Kennedy Space Center. The hurricane was expected to be downgraded to a strong tropical storm before emerging over the Atlantic Ocean.

NASA to move Artemis I rocket back to Vehicle Assembly Building due to Hurricane Ian

The Artemis I Space Launch System Rocket will be pulled down from the launch pad and rolled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) Monday night due to Hurricane Ian, NASA said. The massive rocket will begin the rollback process Monday night at 11 p.m., further delaying the anticipated mission.

NASA's Mars Perseverance rover finds diversity, hints of microbial life in ancient lake bed rocks

NASA's Perseverance rover has spent 1.5 years on Mars exploring an ancient lake bed. Scientists say several rock samples collected on Mars have organic molecules associated with life. A follow-up mission will pick up these samples from Perseverance in 2030.
