NASA's TRACERS Mission Rescheduled for 2025 to Explore Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
- Saturday May 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA has delayed its TRACERS mission to no earlier than 2025 to provide additional preparation time for the crew. The mission will send twin satellites to explore how solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetosphere, particularly through a process called magnetic reconnection. These high-speed solar particles can trigger auroras and impact satellite...

May 2024 Solar Storm Triggers Unusual Radiation Belts, Raising Space Safety Concerns
- Wednesday February 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A significant solar storm in May 2024 led to the creation of two temporary radiation belts, detected by the CIRBE satellite in June. One belt contained high-energy electrons, while the other was rich in protons, a rare occurrence. While the electron belt dissipated in three months, the proton-dominated belt remains, potentially affecting space miss...

Astronaut Vision Changes in Space, Pose Risks for Mars Exploration
- Friday February 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Reports indicate that 70 percent of astronauts on extended ISS missions develop vision issues linked to spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). The condition, caused by fluid shifts in microgravity, leads to optic nerve swelling, vision impairment, and structural eye changes. While symptoms often reverse upon return to Earth, the long-...

Astronauts' Vision Problems Linked to Prolonged Space Exposure, Posing Risks for Mars Missions
- Tuesday January 28, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Extended space missions, such as those aboard the International Space Station (ISS), are linked to significant ocular changes in astronauts. These changes, collectively termed spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS), affect around 70 percent of astronauts. A recent study found reductions in ocular rigidity, intraocular pressure, and ocu...
