With NASA's new chief taking over the agency recently, here's what NASA sees for the future of space exploration, along with its upcoming projects.

NASA is moving into a new phase of space exploration, with major progress across human spaceflight, science missions, and advanced technology. In just one year, the agency has launched multiple crewed and science missions,

NASA’s Athena supercomputer delivers massive computing power to simulate missions, advance AI research, and transform the future of space exploration.

NASA has launched the Mars to Table Challenge, seeking Earth-independent food systems capable of sustaining astronauts on long-duration Moon and Mars missions.

New footage shows one of NASA's WB-57 research jets spewing out flames and smoke as it skids across a runway during an emergency landing near Houston. The veteran aircraft was due to play a small role in the Artemis II mission.

NASA's Space Shuttle Program, which ran from 1981 to 2011, was a complex and ambitious project that pushed the boundaries of space exploration, but was marred by two tragic accidents during the shuttle era.

Nuclear propulsion and power technologies could unlock new frontiers in missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA has reached an important milestone advancing nuclear propulsion that could benefit future deep space missions by completing a cold-flow test campaign of the first flight reactor engineering development unit since the 1960s.

NASA's recently approved budget comes right as the space giant prepares for the Artemis II mission and other massive space exploration projects. Bill Nye the Science Guy joins CBS News with more details.

Artemis II also serves as a bridge to Artemis III, the mission where NASA plans to land astronauts near the moon's south pole, currently targeted for 2028. A credible, near-term human return signals that the U.S. is moving beyond experimentation and toward a sustained presence.

The agency is offering long-term ground leases with a 20-year base term and two 20-year options, with annual rents between $8,100 and $11,800 per acre.

The official solicitation on SAM.gov confirms that the available land totals approximately 183.7 acres, is accessible via Saturn Lane and sits outside Johnson’s controlled access area. The document sets key dates: a site visit on Feb.

At the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, this week is dedicated to remembrance — honoring the heroes lost in the pursuit of space exploration.
