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 ...

Kepler Data Reveals Earth-Size Exoplanet on the Edge of Its Star’s Habitable Zone
Scientists studying Kepler telescope data have identified HD 137010 b, a possible Earth-sized planet orbiting a Sun-like star. While the planet follows a year-long orbit and may sit near the habitable zone, limited starlight could leave it colder than Mars. Future observations will determine whether this icy world truly exists.

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.

ISS Microgravity Experiment Reveal How Particles Behave Without Gravity
A microgravity experiment aboard the International Space Station is helping scientists understand how particles move and cluster without gravity. Conducted inside the station’s laboratory, the study could improve space safety, support future Moon and Mars missions, and deepen understanding of Earth-based processes such as pollution, pollen spread...
