NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Gears Up for Mission to Explore Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has begun final preparations at Kennedy Space Center for a launch no earlier than September 2025. The mission will position IMAP at Lagrange Point 1, a million miles from Earth, to study the solar wind and the edge of the heliosphere. The spacecraft, built by Johns Hopkins APL, will fly al...

Scientists Warn of Inadequate Solar Storm Forecasting: What You Need to Know
Scientists warn that Earth remains exposed to solar storms due to missing early data on its magnetic fields. Current satellites offer just minutes of warning, limiting our ability to protect power grids, satellites, and GPS systems. Without broader solar observation from multiple angles, a major storm could cause catastrophic disruptions, emphasisi...

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...

NASA and South Korea to Conduct Joint Space Mission to Explore Deep Space
NASA and the newly formed Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) have signed an agreement to deepen cooperation in space exploration. Their upcoming mission will focus on exploring Lagrange Point 4, a gravitationally stable region in deep space that remains unexplored. This mission aims to advance our understanding of space radiation and the solar w...

ISRO Set to Place Aditya-L1 Spacecraft in Final Destination Orbit: All You Need to Know
ISRO will perform the final manoeuvre to inject Aditya-L1 spacecraft into its final destination orbit at around 4pm on Saturday, the space agency has announced. The first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun will be placed in a halo orbit around Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, according to ISRO.
