NASA is planning to launch a spaceship with the aim of colliding with an asteroid to determine how a collision would impact the route of a space object. The purpose of the test mission is to show a feasible mechanism to modify the course of asteroids that could pose a threat to Earth. The Double Asteroid […]

Human-made spacecraft were previously uncommon in Lower Earth Orbit (LEO), with just a few dozen orbiting the globe during the commencement of the Space Revolution in the 1950s. However, thousands of satellites now are buzzing about Earth, with countless more on the way. Supriya Chakrabarti, a senior lecturer of physics at the University of Massachusetts […]

Sustained power is necessary for supporting science experiments on the Moon. If the idea works, Moon could be the next destination where humans can live. The United States wants to achieve this feat. NASA said that it has plans to put a nuclear reactor on the Moon. The space agency has invited ideas on how […]

4 astronauts in a SpaceX spacecraft blazed through the Florida night sky like something resembling a meteor before nosediving in the Gulf of Mexico on Monday night. The successful landing marked the end of an exciting six-month stint aboard the International Space Station. The astronauts were members of a mission dubbed Crew-2, and they included […]

Over 120 government leaders will speak Monday in Glasgow to kick-off COP26 climate talks, in which they will set the standard for 2 weeks of agreements that would then either finish with a strategy to quickly reduce carbon emissions across the world or make watery assertions to postpone what scientific research indicates is necessary, potentially, until […]

According to research published this week in Geophysical Research Letters, the Earth is losing part of its radiance. Global warming and natural climate shifts appear to have scuffed up our world. The research looks at earthshine, or the light bounced from the earth that puts a dim glow on the lunar surface. It’s also referred to as […]

It’s known as a circumtriple planet, and proof that one exists implies that planet formation is less uncommon than previously thought. GW Ori is a 1,300 light-year-apart solar system in the constellation Orion. It is encircled by a massive disc of dust and gas, which is a common characteristic of young star systems producing planets. […]

NASA’s body in charge of manned missions will be divided into two different bodies, the agency’s administrator announced on Tuesday, 21 Sept 2021, kicking off a significant reorganization that previous officials have attempted yet failed for years to achieve. The decision comes as commercial businesses such as SpaceX demonstrate more cost-effective means of taking individuals […]

Four people created history after they splashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida onboard a SpaceX capsule. They became the world’s first all civilian orbital crew to visit Earth’s orbit. They remained there for three days without any professional astronaut with them and have now landed back on the Earth. Billionaire Jared […]

In a first, SpaceX has successfully launched the first-ever all-civilian mission to Earth’s Orbit. This is the first time when all the crew members launched into orbit are nonprofessional astronauts. They have been sent to orbit under SpaceX’s Inspiration4 mission. Falcon 9 rocket of Elon Musk’s company blasted off with all the crew members from […]

A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has docked with the International Space Station (ISS) for the fourth mission in nine months. In 30 hours, SpaceX’s improved Cargo Dragon 2 spacecraft circled the Earth 20+ times prior to actually connecting with the International Space Station over 30 minutes ahead of schedule. The world’s turnaround milestone for a reusable […]

Astra attempted to reach orbit during its third test flight with its two-stage Launch Vehicle 0006. This was the space startup’s first rocket launch since it went public. However, the launch was not as expected by the company. The launch was a bit scary as an engine failed to fire just seconds after the launch. […]

After a drought of around two-month, SpaceX has launched Dragon cargo ship into orbit. The cargo ship, with around 4,300 pounds of equipment and other supplies, was launched by Falcon 9 rocket. This was SpaceX’s 23rd launch to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. The 215 feet tall Falcon 9 launcher roared into the […]

Four, or perhaps five, planets are being found in a solar system about 35 light-years away from Earth. This planetary system could possibly hold one planet that lies firmly in its star’s habitable orbit, as well as one that is the smallest planet in terms of mass ever discovered with the radial velocity technique, with […]

NASA is preparing to launch three more CubeSat Payloads. These will be secondary payloads. Two of the payloads will travel to Moon and one deep into space when NASA launches the first of the three flights under its Amrtemis program. Two of them have already been integrated for launch. The third one is also ready […]

Ingenuity has reached new heights. Ingenuity is a mini helicopter. It is designed to fly in the Martian atmosphere. The helicopter has successfully attained record height. It achieved the milestone during the 10th flight. Ingenuity was sent to Mars by NASA. The US space agency said that Ingenuity’s 10th flight was the most complex task. […]

China is aggressively pushing its program to set up an independent space station. The country has already started setting up the rotating laboratory. The Chinese space station will be called Tiangong. The Asian giant is planning to conduct as many as 1,000 scientific experiments at the laboratory when it becomes operational. The T-shaped space station […]

The Hubble telescope has detected signs of water vapor on Ganymede. Ganymede is a Jupiter moon. This is the first time when evidence of water vapor has been found on Ganymede. Astronomers said that Ganymede’s atmosphere has water vapor. Scientists said that they used new and archival datasets from the Hubble Space Telescope to uncover […]

The Perseverance rover is all set to acquire the first Mars sample. NASA said that sample collection is a part of the agency’s plan to bring them back to Earth in the future. Perseverance is the most hi-tech and latest rover that NASA landed on the Red Planet. This will be the first-ever sample collection […]

Orbital Assembly Corporation, headed by former pilot John Blincow and described as the world’s first large-scale space construction business, intends to launch Voyager Station by 2027. In Fontana, California, the firm recently established a new manufacturing facility. The hotel, if built as planned, would be able to accommodate 280 guests and 112 crew people. The […]
