The record for most time in space is held by Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, who has spent 1,111 days in space over five missions. He broke the record of Gennady Padalka on 4 February 2024 at 07:30:08 UTC during his fifth spaceflight aboard Soyuz MS-24 / 25 for a one year long-duration mission on the ISS . [ 21 ]
The Pegasus rocket booster separated from its B-52 carrier at 40,000 feet and its solid rocket took the combination to Mach 10 at 110,000 feet. [9] The X-43A split away at Mach 9.8 and the engine was started at Mach 9.65 for 10–12 seconds with thrust approximately equal to drag, and then glided to the Pacific Ocean after 14 minutes. [9]
Due to its large size, the timeline has been split into smaller articles, one for each year since 1951. There is a separate list for all flights that occurred before 1951. The list for the year 2025 and for its subsequent years may contain planned launches, but the statistics will only include past launches.
NASA's SpaceX CRS-29 mission — a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station — is targeted for launch at 10:01 p.m. EDT Nov. 5.
A late-night rocket launch is potentially scheduled to lift off Tuesday night − and depending on weather and visibility, there could be quite a show in the sky above the Treasure Coast.. SpaceX ...
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover used its right-front navigation camera to capture this first view over the rim of Jezero Crater on Dec. 10, 2024, the 1,354th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
In 2012, it was projected that the first-stage separation of a reusable Falcon 9 rocket would occur at a velocity of approximately Mach 6 (4,600 mph; 2.0 km/s) rather than Mach 10 (7,600 mph; 3.4 km/s) for an expendable Falcon 9, to provide the residual fuel necessary for the deceleration and turnaround maneuver and the controlled descent and ...
SpaceX is lining up a rocket launch tonight from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station that would be its quickest turnaround ever from a single launch pad. A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 of its ...
