SpaceX Dragon Capsule Reaches ISS Carrying 6,500 Pounds of Supplies
SpaceX successfully launched and docked its Dragon capsule at the International Space Station under NASA’s CRS-34 mission. The spacecraft delivered cargo, scientific equipment, and advanced research experiments focused on bone health, microgravity simulation, and charged particles around Earth. Astronauts aboard the ISS will unload and later retu...

NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Prepares to Map the Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has been delivered to the Astrotech facility near Kennedy Space Center for final preparations ahead of a tentatively planned launch in fall 2025. IMAP will map the heliosphere — the solar wind-driven bubble that shields our solar system from cosmic radiation. It is to orbit near Lagrange...

AMS Data Reveals Charged Particle Variations in Heliosphere Over Solar Cycle
Researchers analysing AMS data aboard the ISS have identified variations in charged particles within the heliosphere over an 11-year solar cycle. Shifts in the heliospheric magnetic field impact antiproton behaviour and cosmic nuclei fluxes, revealing correlations between solar modulation and cosmic ray movement. AMS measurements provide insights i...
