NASA’s Artemis II mission reached a significant milestone as the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft successfully arrived at Launch Pad 39B. The journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy Space Center, which took approximately ten hours, was facilitated by Crawler Transporter 2 (CT-2). The rollout was slightly delayed due to […]

NASA’s Artemis II mission has taken a significant step forward today as the Space Launch System rocket, accompanied by the Orion spacecraft, successfully rolled out from the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This marks the rocket’s return to its launch pad, laying the groundwork for the first crewed mission to […]

During a recent media briefing, European Space Agency (ESA) Director General Josef Aschbacher and ESA Council Chair Renato Krpoun shared insights on the pivotal decisions made during a Council meeting held in Interlaken, Switzerland, on March 18 and 19, 2026. The conference underscored the escalating significance of international cooperation in space exploration and research, particularly […]

SpaceX made significant progress towards the next launch of its Starship system, as Booster 19 completed an essential test campaign at the newly established Pad 2 in Starbase, Texas. This series of tests marked a debut for both the Block 3/V3 Super Heavy Booster and the upgraded Raptor 3 engines, culminating in a brief static […]

In a stunning turn of events, Comet K1, officially known as Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS), has been observed fragmenting into multiple pieces while being monitored by the Hubble Space Telescope. This extraordinary event occurred shortly after the comet made its closest pass to the Sun, an occurrence termed perihelion, which took place within Mercury’s orbit, […]

The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced that its Hera spacecraft has successfully executed a critical deep-space maneuver, putting it on a trajectory toward the Didymos binary asteroid system. This mission, which is poised to take place later this year, will help advance our understanding of asteroid deflection techniques following NASA’s recent DART mission, which […]

A busy week in space exploration is ahead, as a total of nine launches are set to take place from various locations around the world. SpaceX is expected to lead the charge with five missions, all dedicated to deploying its Starlink satellite constellation. Meanwhile, Rocket Lab plans to send an Earth observation satellite into orbit […]

Astronomers may have encountered a groundbreaking type of exoplanet characterized by a massive ocean of molten rock beneath a sulfur-rich atmosphere. The planet, designated L 98-59 d, is situated approximately 35 light-years from Earth and is about 1.6 times the size of our planet. Unlike typical classifications for small exoplanets, scientists have found that this […]

In a remarkable twist for satellite technology, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) CryoSat mission has demonstrated an unexpected capability: accurately measuring fluctuations in Earth’s magnetic field. While CryoSat has long been recognized as an important tool for observing polar ice dynamics, a software upgrade has now transformed it into an instrument that contributes valuable data […]

Blue Origin has introduced a new initiative called NEO Hunter, aimed at safeguarding Earth from potentially dangerous near-Earth objects (NEOs) using a combination of innovative deflection techniques. This concept was developed in partnership with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Caltech and builds on the capabilities of the company’s Blue Ring platform. The NEO Hunter […]
