Curiosity Rover Reconnects After Solar Conjunction, Begins Critical Organic Search on Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has resumed science operations after solar conjunction, returning to a previous drill site for a rare organic chemistry experiment. Using its final supply of TMAH, Curiosity will analyse Martian rock samples for signs of organic molecules while also monitoring dust and atmospheric conditions inside Gale Crater.

Chandrayaan-3's Pragyan Rover Confirms Presence of Sulphur on Moon, Search for Hydrogen Underway: ISRO
The Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope instrument onboard 'Pragyan' rover of Chandrayaan-3 has unambiguously confirmed the presence of sulphur on the lunar surface near south pole, through first-ever in-situ measurements, ISRO said on Tuesday. It also said the instrument also detected aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, sili...

NASA’s Europa Clipper Main Body Completed, Soon to Explore Jupiter’s Moon
NASA has finished making the body of Europa Clipper spacecraft and delivered to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California. It is at this centre where a team of engineers and technicians will finish the assembling of the rest of the mission over the next two years. The assembling will be done by hand and then tested to see whether o...
