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’s Orion Control Room Prepares for Artemis II Lunar Mission
NASA is preparing for Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon since Apollo, with a new control hub at Johnson Space Center. The Orion Mission Evaluation Room (MER) will support flight controllers by monitoring Orion’s systems in real time during the 10-day mission. Staffed 24/7, the MER will compare telemetry with expected performance, t...

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 ...

ESA JUICE Mission Scans Jupiter's Lunar Crater in Test Run for Alien Life
ESA’s JUICE spacecraft scanned the famous Earthrise crater on the Moon to test radar for future exploration of Jupiter’s icy moons. The data confirmed JUICE’s radar accuracy, setting the stage for a search for life beneath Europa and Ganymede. The crater, immortalised in a 1968 Apollo 8 photo, now plays a role in extraterrestrial science.

Apollo Astronauts Found Orange Glass Beads on the Moon, Scientists Now Know Why
Scientists have uncovered the volcanic origin of tiny orange glass beads collected during the Apollo missions. Preserved for over 3.5 billion years, these lava droplets offer crucial insights into the Moon’s fiery past and evolving geology. Advanced analysis now reveals changing volcanic activity and deep interior conditions from the Moon’s for...

New Study Finds Active Lunar Tectonics, Challenges Moon’s Dormancy
A recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal reveals that the moon is still experiencing tectonic activity. Scientists identified 266 small ridges on the far side of the moon, formed within the last 160 to 200 million years. The study suggests these ridges result from geological forces like lunar shrinking and orbital shifts. The findi...

Meteorite Impacts Not Solar Wind Are Key to Moon’s Atmosphere, New Research Shows
A new study led by MIT's Nicole Nie has determined that meteorite impacts are the main source of the moon’s atmosphere, with impact vaporization accounting for 70% of the exosphere. Solar wind contributes the remaining 30%. This research, using Apollo lunar soil samples, offers a significant update on how the moon’s atmosphere is sustained.
