MaiaSpace is a small launch services provider founded in 2022 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ArianeGroup.

MaiaSpace aims for the Maia rocket's demonstration flight to reach a minimum altitude of 100 kilometres.

The first recovery of a Maia first stage booster is expected to take place in 2028.

Following the demonstration, MaiaSpace will commence commercial operations in 2027.

MaiaSpace plans to launch an initial suborbital demonstration flight in late 2026 to validate key elements of the Maia launch system.

MaiaSpace will gradually introduce reusability technologies during the first eight or nine orbital flights.

The initial flight of the Maia rocket in 2026 will represent the deployment of a minimum viable product.

Fincke and Cardman were scheduled to conduct the spacewalk to prepare for the future deployment of solar panels that would provide additional power to the space station.

NASA astronauts have received onboard treatment for issues such as toothaches and ear pain.

The returning crew arrived at the orbital laboratory via SpaceX in August for a minimum six-month stay.

The crew included NASA's Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan's Kimiya Yui, and Russia's Oleg Platonov.

The return of Mikaev and Kud-Sverchkov is planned for the summer.

NASA has tasked SpaceX with deorbiting the space station by the end of 2030 or early 2031, with plans for a safe reentry over the ocean.

Mikaev and Kud-Sverchkov launched in November aboard a Soyuz rocket for an eight-month stay.

For Cardman and Platonov, this was their first space flight.

NASA has abruptly interrupted a mission aboard the International Space Station due to an astronaut's health issue.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman expressed pride in the swift actions taken to ensure astronaut safety.

The crew of four astronauts, consisting of personnel from the United States, Japan, and Russia, will return to Earth in the coming days, ahead of schedule.

NASA has canceled its first spacewalk of the year due to health concerns.

This was Fincke's fourth visit to the space station and Yui's second visit.

NASA officials emphasized that this was not an emergency aboard the station.

The crew member in question is now stable.

Dr. James Polk, NASA's health and medical officer, stated that the agency is acting with excessive caution regarding the crew member's health.

Three additional astronauts, including NASA's Chris Williams and Russians Sergei Mikaev and Sergei Kud-Sverchkov, currently live and work aboard the space station.

NASA has not identified the astronaut or the medical issue, citing patient privacy.

This incident marks NASA's first medical evacuation from the space station.

Roman Space Telescope will begin an initial commissioning phase once in orbit, followed by the start of scientific observations.

The Roman Space Telescope is on track for its planned launch in September 2026.

The indication of a September launch window signals a mature phase of the preparation activities for the Roman Space Telescope.

The Roman Space Telescope complements observatories like Hubble and James Webb, with a different focus on extensive surveys.

The Roman Space Telescope aims to produce large volumes of data through its wide field of view and deep survey-optimized instruments.

Ongoing activities for the Roman Space Telescope include final checks of onboard systems, integration with the launch vehicle, and necessary validation procedures before shipping to the launch site.

The Roman Space Telescope is designed to address major open questions in modern cosmology.

The data collected from the Roman Space Telescope will be made available to the international scientific community, contributing to collaborative research programs.

The timeline for the Roman Space Telescope is critical due to the complexity of the mission, which involves numerous NASA centers and industrial and scientific partners.

NASA leads the Roman Space Telescope program, which aims to provide new data on dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets.

The Roman Space Telescope has passed major technical milestones, enabling it to stay on schedule for the fall launch.

NASA will live stream the change of command ceremony beginning at 2:35 p.m. EST (1935 UTC) on January 12, 2026.

If successful, NASA will move into launch operations without returning to the Vehicle Assembly Building.

At Launch Pad 39B, teams will conduct a Wet Dress Rehearsal for the Artemis II mission.

The journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B will take up to 12 hours.

NASA is planning to roll the SLS rocket for the Artemis II mission to Launch Complex 39B on January 17th.

The SLS rocket and spacecraft will travel four miles from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B.

NASA will have approximately 5-day windows for launch every few weeks after the Wet Dress Rehearsal.

The Pad 301 at WSLC is associated with the CZ-10 series.

A possible vehicle configuration was shared in Pic 2.

The upcoming event at Pad 301 may refer to the Mengzhou Max-Q abort test.

An important event is expected to occur at the Pad 301 at the end of January 2026.

The failure occurred after most main and secondary payloads were successfully deployed.

There was an issue with the deployment of Iran's Paya satellite.
