[Wednesday, August 2, 2006] The 2006 HMP Lunar Medical Contingency Simulation demonstrated that an injured suited crewmember could be safely extracted from difficult terrain, similar to what might be expected in a lunar EVA, and transported to a remote site for medical care.

[Wednesday, August 2, 2006] The Lunar e-Library - a searchable DVD collection of electronic documents and other resources - is now available to help managers, engineers and scientists put space history to work as they implement the Vision for Space Exploration.

[Friday, August 4, 2006] This conference will bring together emerging leaders, students, and early-career professionals with a keen interest in manned spaceflight and will act as a planning session to develop strategies for human space exploration in the 21st century.

[Sunday, August 6, 2006] SMART-1, the successful first European spacecraft to the Moon, is now about to end its exploration adventure, after almost sixteen months of lunar science investigations.

[Wednesday, August 9, 2006] This image, taken by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA’s SMART-1 spacecraft, provides an 'oblique' view of the lunar surface towards the limb, around the Mezentsev, Niepce and Merrill craters, on the far side of the Moon.

[Monday, August 14, 2006] This high-resolution image, taken by the advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA’s SMART-1 spacecraft, shows part of crater Jacobi in the southern hemisphere of the Moon. The rim of the crater is seen on the upper edge of the image.

[Thursday, August 17, 2006] If you are a professional or amateur astronomer and want to contribute to the final phase of the SMART-1 mission, join ESA on the impact ground observation campaign.

[Friday, August 18, 2006] NASA, have you checked the Lost and Found? Seven hundred boxes of original Apollo moon landing tapes have gone missing. We'll find out where the "one small step" videos might be.

[Monday, August 21, 2006] NASA recently held a Constellation Space Suit Systems (CSSS) Industry Day to discuss he design, development, certification, production, and sustaining engineering of a space suit system to meet the needs of the Constellation Program.

[Tuesday, August 22, 2006] The D-CIXS instrument on ESA's Moon mission SMART-1 has produced the first detection from orbit of calcium on the lunar surface. By doing this, the instrument has taken a step towards answering the old question: did the Moon form from part of the Earth?

[Tuesday, August 22, 2006] This high-resolution image, taken by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA’s SMART-1 spacecraft, shows the young crater 'Cuvier C' on the Moon.

[Thursday, August 24, 2006] The European Space Agency's Smart-1 mission ends on September 3rd 2006. Appropriately for such a successful mission, its final resting place will be an area of the Moon known as the 'Lake of Excellence'.

[Tuesday, August 29, 2006] While ESA's SMART-1 mission is running on its last orbits around the Moon before its planned lunar impact on 3 September 2006, the spacecraft 'star tracker' – or attitude camera - is taking exciting pictures of the ever approaching surface.

[Thursday, August 31, 2006] NASA selected Wednesday Lockheed Martin Corp., based in Bethesda, Md., as the prime contractor to design, develop, and build Orion, America's spacecraft for a new generation of explorers.
