NASA’s ESCAPADE Mission to Study Space Weather Between Earth and Mars
NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will send two identical orbiters to Mars to study how solar wind and space weather strip away the planet’s atmosphere. Launching in 2025 and arriving in 2027, the twin spacecraft will measure solar wind conditions and Mars’s atmospheric response simultaneously, helping scientists understand how the Red Planet lost its ...

NASA Races to Restore Contact With MAVEN Mars Orbiter After Weeks of Silence
NASA has resumed efforts to reestablish contact with the MAVEN spacecraft after Mars emerged from solar conjunction. Engineers are using the Deep Space Network and studying recovered data from December 6 to determine what caused the communication loss and assess the spacecraft’s condition.

NASA Shares Highly-Anticipated Images Of 3I/ATLAS, Reveals Details Of Mysterious Interstellar Comet
3I/ATLAS offers a rare chance to study material that has travelled billions of kilometres because it originates from another star system.

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...

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 ...

NASA’s Europa Clipper Captures Stunning Infrared Image of Mars
During a Mars flyby on March 1, 2025, NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft captured thermal images with its E-THEMIS infrared imager. The mission team used this opportunity to test key instruments ahead of Clipper’s arrival at Jupiter’s moon Europa in 2030.

NASA’s Psyche Mission Encounters Pressure Drop, Backup Systems on Standby
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft, en route to a metal-rich asteroid, paused its thrusters after detecting a drop in xenon gas pressure. Engineers are investigating the issue while keeping the mission on track. Psyche will fly by Mars in 2026 before entering asteroid orbit in 2029.
