Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen fly around the Moon, setting a new human distance record.
Strategy Overhaul
NASA announces the $20B pivot to a surface moon base and nuclear Mars mission.
Isaacman Rebuke
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman condemns Boeing and NASA management for mission failures.
Swift reentry expected
NASA expects Swift to reenter Earth's atmosphere later in 2026 as end-of-life planning continues.
Swift science instruments turned off
NASA powers down Swift's science instruments earlier in 2026 to slow orbital descent caused by intense solar activity.
Isaacman Appointed
Jared Isaacman takes charge of NASA under the Trump administration.
$30M servicing contract awarded
NASA awards Katalyst Space Technologies a $30 million contract to develop and launch a robotic servicing mission for Swift in less than a year.
Crewed Flight Test
First crewed flight encounters helium leaks and thruster issues.
OFT-2 Success
Starliner successfully docks with the ISS on its second uncrewed attempt.
OFT-1 Failure
Uncrewed Starliner fails to reach the ISS due to software clock errors.
Two of the four astronauts who flew Artemis II around the Moon in April 2026 are leaving active status, cutting the mission's active crew to one. NASA will keep Reid Wiseman and Victor Glover as emeritus mentors, while Christina Koch remains the only active crew member. For Artemis III planners, this shifts near-term crew selection and experience retention.

NASA and Katalyst Space Technologies called off the Link rescue of the long-serving Swift gamma-ray observatory on Aug. 19 after ongoing attitude control issues made capture and orbit-raising impossible. The telescope will reenter no earlier than October, but Link will continue proximity operations to validate close-in navigation for future on-orbit servicing missions.

NASA's $30M bid to extend the life of the Swift gamma-ray telescope ended when Katalyst's LINK servicing craft could not overcome attitude-control failures in a 216-mile orbit, leaving a gap in rapid-response astrophysics and testing confidence in orbital servicing startups.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman defended the selection of an all-male Artemis III crew, emphasizing the specific skill sets required for the complex orbital rendezvous and docking test with SpaceX and Blue Origin landers. The crew of four veteran astronauts includes a former shuttle commander, an ESA pilot, and a U.S. record-holding spaceflight duration holder, selected for their technical expertise to ensure mission success.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has announced a $20 billion strategic overhaul, scrapping the Lunar Gateway in favor of a permanent surface base. The agency will also launch the 'Space Reactor 1 Freedom' by 2028 to demonstrate nuclear electric propulsion for future Mars exploration.
