NASA assigned the crew for Artemis III, a low-Earth orbit test mission to reduce risks before lunar landing, with a target launch no earlier than summer 2027.

NASA's Artemis II crew, the fastest humans alive, earned a Mach 39 patch after reaching 24,664 mph on their lunar flyby.

Axiom Space and Prada revealed the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) for the Artemis IV lunar spacesuit, providing cooling and ventilation for astronauts on Moon missions.

NASA announces a public event on June 9 to meet the astronauts of Artemis III, which will test docking capabilities with commercial landers in low Earth orbit as a step toward crewed lunar landings.

An air leak on the Russian segment of the International Space Station prompted five crew members to briefly take shelter in a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule as a safety precaution during repair efforts.

NASA's MAVEN spacecraft, which studied the Martian atmosphere for 11 years, has been officially declared lost after losing contact in December 2025 when it disappeared behind Mars during a routine occultation. Telemetry fragments recovered later showed the spacecraft was spinning at 2.7 RPM, suggesting an unrecoverable power failure.
