Moon Mission

Based on lunar soil samples returned by the Chang'e-5 mission in 2020, Chinese scientists have found a hydrated mineral "enriched" with molecular water.

A new paper published in Nature Communications provides more insights into Titan's unusual bodies of water, including waves, currents, estuaries, and straits.

Developing housing on the Moon is an emerging focus for space agencies across the world. US space agency NASA has developed the Artemis programme, with an aim that humans will inhabit lunar residences by 2040.

The rover of India's moon mission Chandrayaan-3 had an interesting encounter on the lunar surface near its landing site.

The Indian Space Research Organisation is setting its sights again on the Moon after a successful Chandrayaan-3 mission last year, but now it plans to send humans to the natural satellite.

The human spaceflight programme will be used as a springboard to send an Indian to the Moon by 2040 and the Chandrayaan missions will also play a key role in this, ISRO Chairman S Somanath has told NDTV.

ISRO Chairman S Somanath, at the India Space Congress 2024, emphasised the need to create more internal demand for satellite technology applications to attract investment and ensure commercial sustainability.

A Chinese probe carrying samples from the far side of the Moon is expected to return to Earth on Tuesday, capping a technically complex 53-day mission heralded as a world first.

Retired astronaut William Anders, one of the first three humans to orbit the moon, who captured the "Earthrise" photo during NASA's Apollo 8 mission, died on Friday when the small plane he was piloting crashed in Washington state.

China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe looks set to begin its historic journey back to Earth from the moon's far side after collecting samples that scientists expect will help answer key questions about the early evolution of the solar system.

China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe successfully landed on the far side of the Moon to collect samples, state news agency Xinhua reported Sunday -- the latest leap for Beijing's decades-old space programme.

Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa cancelled his "dearMoon" mission, which the project said was to have been the first private flight around the moon, the mission announced on Saturday.

As the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) readies to return astronauts to the moon, it has announced its plans to build a levitating robot train on the lunar surface.

This move is seen as an attempt to save a portion of human history in the event that the survival of humans on Earth is ever threatened.

Bill Kaysing loosely worked on the US space mission between 1960 and 1963, and began speculating that the entire thing was staged.
