NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams aren’t the first to run late in space, and their 9 ½-month mission falls short of any endurance record.

NASA has announced more delays in sending astronauts back to the moon more than 50 years after Apollo.

The four astronauts assigned to fly around the moon next year have gotten their first look at their spacecraft.

NASA has named the four astronauts who will fly around the moon late next year.

Meir, alongside fellow astronaut and friend Christina Koch successfully conducted the first all-female spacewalk outside of the space station on Friday. During the spacewalk, Koch was actually able to ride on the end of the robotic arm, something not many astronauts have the opportunity to do. Meir arrived on the space station for her first six-month mission at the beginning of October. Koch and Meir are included in the list of 12 women that could be the first female astronaut on the moon in 2024. She can check "becoming an astronaut" and "going for a spacewalk" off her "future plans" list from high school.

NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch will conduct the first all-female spacewalk outside of the International Space Station. INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION - NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Christina Koch are conducting the first all-female spacewalk outside of the International Space Station. Upon watching the spacewalk begin, NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson said she hopes this is just the first all-female spacewalk and that it becomes a normal occurrence. The first woman to conduct a spacewalk was Russian cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya in 1984, followed closely by NASA astronaut Kathy Sullivan. This is the second attempt at an all-female spacewalk after the first was scrapped in March.

After the first all-female spacewalk was scrapped in March, NASA has now scheduled another attempt with astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir for Friday. Koch and Meir will venture outside the International Space Station about 7:50 a.m. to replace faulty equipment on the stations exterior. This will be Kochs fourth spacewalk and Meirs first.

(CNN) - After the first all-female spacewalk was scrapped in March, NASA has now scheduled another attempt with astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir for October 17 or 18. The announcement was made Friday during a briefing by the agency previewing 10 upcoming spacewalks by astronauts on the International Space Station. The tweet also showed an image of pairings for the upcoming spacewalks. Meir arrived on the space station for her first mission this week. In addition to her first spacewalk with Koch, she will also conduct a spacewalk with European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Astronauts kicked off the first of five spacewalks to replace old batteries at the International Space Station on Sunday. Christina Koch and Andrew Morgan had to remove a pair of old batteries and install a new one delivered just a week ago. The 400-pound batteries - half the size of a refrigerator - are part of the space station's solar power network. The old batteries are 10 years old; the new ones are expected to last until the end of the space station's life. That's why so many spacewalks are needed this time to replace 12 old nickel-hydrogen batteries with six new lithium-ion versions.

This is the jaw-dropping picture that NASA astronaut Christina Koch snapped Wednesday from her perch on the International Space Station. INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION - Sinuous smoke soars above the Earth's atmosphere while a bright star - actually a Russian Soyuz rocket - stands against the dark night sky, encircled by a ring. This is the jaw-dropping picture that NASA astronaut Christina Koch snapped Wednesday from her privileged position at the International Space Station (ISS). On board the ISS-bound spacecraft Soyuz MS-15 (Expedition 61), which launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, was her best friend, NASA flight engineer Jessica Meir. Traveling with Meir were Oleg Skripochka, from the Roscosmos (Russian space agency), and Hazzaa Ali Almansoori, the first United Arab Emirates (UAE) astronaut to go into space.
