Mars Orbiter Tracks Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS With Unprecedented Precision
Scientists mapped the path of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with ten times greater accuracy using images from ESA’s Mars orbiter. The breakthrough shows how observations from different points in space can improve future planetary defense. The data, the first of its kind from another planet’s orbit, offers a powerful new tool for tracking fast-mov...

Blue Origin Joins SpaceX in Orbital Booster Reuse Era With New Glenn’s Successful Launch and Landing
Blue Origin’s New Glenn successfully launched NASA’s ESCAPADE mission to Mars on November 13, 2025, marking its second flight and its first ocean booster landing on the ship Jacklyn. The mission deploys twin satellites built by Rocket Lab to study how the solar wind strips Mars’ atmosphere during a 22-month journey to the Red Planet.

Blue Origin Delays NASA Mars Launch Amid Weather and FAA Restrictions
Blue Origin has postponed the launch of NASA’s twin ESCAPADE Mars probes due to bad weather and new FAA restrictions on daytime launches during the U.S. government shutdown. The mission, now targeting Nov. 12, will study how solar wind stripped away Mars’s atmosphere. Blue Origin is seeking an FAA exemption to proceed with the launch.

NASA’s Artemis Prepares Crews for Future Mars Missions
NASA’s Artemis programme goes beyond Apollo by planning longer lunar missions to test spacecraft, life-support, and logistics for Mars. With Gateway, lunar ice harvesting, and global partnerships, Artemis aims to simulate deep-space challenges. These lessons will directly guide future crewed journeys to the Red Planet and beyond.

NASA Artemis II Orion Spacecraft Prepares for Historic Crewed Moon Mission with Safety Systems Installed
NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft has taken another major step toward launch. After being fueled, it was moved to the Launch Abort System Facility at Kennedy Space Centre, where engineers are integrating a 44-foot-tall escape system to protect astronauts during liftoff. The mission will see four astronauts, including one from Canada, fly around ...

SpaceX to Fly Italian Science Experiments to Mars on Starship in 2026
SpaceX has signed a landmark agreement with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to deliver Italian science experiments to Mars aboard its Starship rocket. Announced on August 7, 2025, the mission will carry a plant-growth module, a meteorological station, and a radiation detector to collect crucial data during the six-month journey and on the Martian su...

'HOPE' In Ladakh To Simulate Life On Mars, A "Rehearsal" For Future
Located at an altitude of 4.3 kilometres above sea level, Himalayan Outpost for Planetary Exploration (HOPE) is designed to simulate Mars-like conditions and will serve as a testbed for future crewed missions to the Moon and beyond.

ISRO Sets Up Station In Ladakh To Simulate Life On Moon, Mars
ISRO’s HOPE station in Ladakh will serve as a testing ground for future Moon and Mars missions by simulating extreme space-like conditions on Earth.

NASA’s Mars Sample Return Mission May Survive with Lockheed Martin’s Low-Cost Proposal
NASA’s Mars Sample Return Mission is at risk due to skyrocketing costs, but a new cost-efficient proposal from Lockheed Martin could save the mission. By reusing technology from the InSight lander, the plan promises to bring back Mars samples at a fraction of the expected $11 billion.

The Promise And Peril Of A Crewed Mars Mission
Mars mission would pursue scientific objectives like determining whether Mars ever hosted life and charting the evolution of its surface, as well as answering broader questions -- such as the history of the Sun through studying Martian soil.

SpaceX Fires Up Starship Upper Stage for Ninth Test Flight in Static Fire Trial
SpaceX ignited all six Raptor engines on Starship’s upper stage in a 60-second static fire at Starbase, moving closer to its ninth test flight. The trial marked the third such test for this vehicle. While past 2025 flights failed mid-air, booster landings were successful. A launch date for Flight 9 has not yet been announced.
