GE Aerospace stock price today: Shares edge up after NASA-backed hybrid-electric engine test

GE Aerospace shares rose 0.6% to $296.88 after the company completed the first ground test of a commercial hybrid-electric engine demonstrator with NASA in Ohio. The test marked the first fully integrated hybrid-electric system run, with data now under review. Engine maintenance remains GE’s main profit driver, though airlines cite rising costs and delays. RTX also reported strong engine demand and raised its 2026 sales outlook.

NASA pulls Crew-11 from ISS in first medical evacuation as SpaceX Dragon heads for splashdown

NASA pulls Crew-11 from ISS in first medical evacuation as SpaceX Dragon heads for splashdown

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida, Jan 15, 2026, 01:41 (EST) Late Wednesday, a SpaceX Dragon capsule carrying four astronauts undocked from the International Space Station, marking NASA’s first medical evacuation from the orbiting lab following a crew member’s health issue. The decision trims the Crew-11 mission by about a month, leaving the station with fewer crew members until the next rotation. It’s a real-time challenge for NASA and its partners to see how fast they can get astronauts back when a health issue arises in orbit. NASA hasn’t disclosed which astronaut is involved or the nature of the condition, citing medical privacy.

WASHINGTON, Jan 10, 2026, 06:20 EST NASA and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than 5 p.m. EST on Jan. 14 for Crew-11 to undock — detach — from the International Space Station, with a splashdown off the coast of California at about 3:40 a.m. on Jan. 15, NASA said. The agency is bringing the crew home earlier than planned as it monitors a medical concern affecting one astronaut, whom NASA said is stable.

NASA orders first-ever ISS medical evacuation as SpaceX Crew-11 heads home early

Washington, January 9, 2026, 06:45 (EST) NASA has ordered the early return of its Crew-11 mission from the International Space Station after a crew member developed a “serious medical condition,” senior agency officials said. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the station lacks the capability to “diagnose and treat this properly,” in what officials described as the first such medical evacuation in the orbiting lab’s 25-year history.

NASA Mars goes radio-silent as solar conjunction stalls MAVEN recovery efforts

NASA Mars goes radio-silent as solar conjunction stalls MAVEN recovery efforts

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 18:11 ET NASA has entered a planned communications blackout with its Mars missions as a solar alignment known as conjunction begins, delaying efforts to re-establish contact with the MAVEN orbiter that has been silent since early December, the agency said. NASA said the pause starts Dec. 29 and it does not expect contact with any Mars missions until Jan. 16. NASA Science The timing matters because solar conjunction cuts off the routine back-and-forth needed to keep spacecraft operating smoothly and to troubleshoot anomalies. It also freezes recovery work on MAVEN at a moment when engineers
