"Nasa space launch" refers to the launch of a spacecraft or rocket by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This event marks the beginning of a mission to explore space, conduct research, or deploy satellites. The timeline of a NASA space launch typically includes pre-launch preparations, liftoff, in-orbit activities, and re-entry or landing.
One NASA space mission launch scheduled for January is the Artemis I mission, an uncrewed test flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft. The mission is part of NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon and eventually send astronauts to Mars.
Each Gemini mission typically had two astronauts onboard the spacecraft.
In April 1981, NASA conducted the first flight of the Space Shuttle program with the launch of Space Shuttle Columbia on STS-1 mission. This marked the beginning of the Space Shuttle era for NASA's human spaceflight missions.
the last nasa launched a space shuttle was on march 18
NASA has launched the Kepler mission to search for new planets.

The original Gemini 6 was scheduled to launch on October 25, 1965. It was planned as the first docking in space, however that mission was cancelled after their Agena Target Vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure six minutes after leaving the launch pad and exploded. Rendezvous was considered so important that it was decided to change the Gemini 6 mission to a rendezvous mission instead. Immediately after the Gemini 7 launch on December 4, 1965, preparations were underway to launch Gemini 6. On December 12, Gemini 6 was on the pad and ready for launch. The engine fired and immediately shutdown when a plug fell out of the bottom of the rocket. The problem was fixed and Gemini 6 finally launched on the morning of December 15, 1965. Gemini 6 achieved rendezvous that afternoon. After stationkeeping for 3 orbits, Gemini 6 fired its engine to separate from Gemini 7. The following day, Gemini 6 splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean. It was the first recovery to be televised live.

The Gemini III spacecraft, carrying Astronauts Gus Grissom (Command Pilot) and John Young, was the first NASA mission to carry 2 members on the same flight. Astronaut Gordon Cooper was the last American to go into Space alone.The Gemini I and II crafts were both test platforms prior to the Manned Flight orbits of the Gemini III.

No. The next shuttle mission - which will be the next-to-last shuttle launch - is scheduled for October, 2010.
The Gemini capsules were designed to hold 2 Astronauts, and each mission carried 2.
NASA's primary mission control center is located at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. This facility is responsible for overseeing and coordinating all human spaceflight missions conducted by NASA.
The first NASA space shuttle mission, STS-1, took place at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 12, 1981. The mission was launched from Launch Complex 39A.
