NASA has named the crew of the Artemis III mission that the agency is calling "one of the most highly complex missions NASA has undertaken."

An explosion Thursday destroyed the company's New Glenn rocket and caused significant damage to its launch pad at Cape Canaveral.

A Falcon 9 rocket will launch SpaceX's Cargo Dragon capsule, delivering the supplies to the International Space Station.

The Artemis III core stage booster arrived at KSC Monday. The mission is set to launch next year, testing the rendezvous and docking ability of the Orion spacecraft.

Artemis III prep begins with returning the mobile launcher to Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building using the Crawler-Transporter.

Researchers looked at 1,600 storms that made landfall since 1981 and found those that went over extra-hot water were more likely to intensify rapidly, resulting in 60% more disasters that caused at least $1 billion in damage when they hit land.

The Orion crew module containing the four Artemis II astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean Friday evening.

The NASA moon mission completed several key milestones as its crew looped around the lunar body. It's expected to splash down on Earth on Friday.
