Apollo 11

Apollo 11 was NASA's first crewed Moon landing, flown 16–24 July 1969. Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin launched atop a Saturn V, and on 20 July 1969 the lunar module Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility while Collins orbited overhead in the command module Columbia. Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 hours 36 minutes on the surface, collected 48 pounds of lunar material, deployed science experiments and left a flag and plaque behind. An estimated 650 million people watched the first steps on television. The crew returned on 24 July and spent 21 days in quarantine as a planetary-protection precaution.

Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope is a NASA/ESA observatory launched on 24 April 1990 aboard the space shuttle Discovery. Orbiting about 483 km above Earth, its 2.4-meter mirror has made more than 1.7 million observations, from the deep fields that revealed thousands of galaxies to measurements that fixed the universe's expansion rate at near one percent precision. Astronauts serviced the telescope five times between 1993 and 2009 — the first mission correcting the spherical aberration that blurred its early images — and since June 2024 Hubble has operated in one-gyro mode, continuing its work alongside the James Webb Space Telescope.

International Space Station

The International Space Station (ISS) is a modular space station assembled in low Earth orbit beginning in 1998 by the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada. It orbits at roughly 400 km altitude and 28,000 km/h, circling Earth about every 90 minutes — 16 sunrises and sunsets a day. Continuous occupation began on 2 November 2000; more than 280 people from 26 countries have visited since. The station supports research in biology, physics, materials science and human health, and serves as a testbed for technologies needed for deep-space exploration.

James Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space-based infrared observatory launched on 25 December 2021 by NASA, ESA, and CSA. From its orbit around the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point, 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, its 6.5-meter segmented gold-coated mirror and five-layer sunshield let it peer back more than 13.5 billion years to the first galaxies, probe the atmospheres of distant exoplanets, and watch stars and planets being born inside dusty clouds. Webb released its first full-color images on 12 July 2022 and has since set records that include the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0.

SpaceX

SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp.) is the American aerospace company founded by Elon Musk in 2002 that pioneered reusable orbital rockets, operates the Starlink satellite-internet constellation, flies NASA astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station, and is developing Starship — the largest rocket ever flown — for the Moon and Mars. This file tracks its vehicles, mission and flight-test records, contracts and finances from the founding through September 2026.
