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...

Astronauts Track Massive Dust Clouds over Canada and the US from ISS in June 2025
While conducting microgravity experiments and preparing for the Ax-4 crew, ISS astronauts documented massive wildfire smoke clouds drifting over Canada and the U.S., highlighting the station’s role in monitoring Earth-based environmental events from orbit. The smoke, seen from space, resulted from wildfires that triggered evacuations and impacted...

NASA’s Don Pettit Returns to Earth with Russian Crewmates After ISS Science Mission
Soyuz MS-26 safely landed in Kazakhstan on April 19, bringing NASA astronaut Don Pettit and two Russian cosmonauts back to Earth. The crew completed a months-long science mission aboard the ISS, conducting key experiments on 3D printing, water purification, fire behaviour, and plant biology, supporting future lunar and Mars exploration goals.

Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 Conducts First Lunar Gravity Simulation
Blue Origin successfully launched its NS-29 mission, marking the first lunar gravity simulation on its New Shepard vehicle. The capsule rotated mid-flight to replicate Moon gravity for research payloads, including NASA-supported experiments on lunar dust behaviour and fire safety. Over half of the 30 payloads focused on Moon-related technologies. T...

Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 Mission to Test Lunar Gravity Simulation
Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 mission, scheduled for Jan. 28, 2025, will simulate lunar gravity during its suborbital flight. The uncrewed mission, launching from West Texas, carries 30 experiments, with 17 contributed by NASA. These experiments aim to advance lunar exploration technologies, including studying moon dust behaviour, fire dynamics...

Kennedy Space Center's Rocket Engine Test Simulation Launches in 2025
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is set to debut The Gantry at LC-39 in early 2025. The attraction includes a simulated rocket engine test with visual effects, sound, and interactive exhibits. Visitors can explore launch sites, design and virtually launch rockets, and engage with environmental research at the new Earth Information Center.
