Boeing Starliner Test Flight Stretches to 93 Days as Engineers Struggle With Propulsion Thruster Issues
Boeing’s Starliner test flight has been reclassified by NASA as a Type A mishap after propulsion anomalies extended the mission from days to 93 days. Helium leaks and thruster failures during docking raised safety concerns and exposed technical and leadership shortcomings. An investigation issued 61 recommendations, and NASA says no additional cr...

Researchers Suggest Saturn's Titan Moon Formed in a Single High-Energy Impact Event
New research suggests Saturn’s largest moon Titan and its iconic rings may share a violent origin. Simulations indicate Titan formed after a massive collision between two moons about 100 to 200 million years ago, resurfacing Titan and altering its orbit. The resulting instability likely shattered smaller moons, sending icy debris inward to create...

NASA Juno Mission Uncovers Subtle Geometric Shifts That Challenge Existing Models of the Jovian Interior
Scientists have refined Jupiter’s size and shape using modern radio signal observations, finding the giant planet slightly smaller and more flattened than earlier estimates. Though the difference is only a few kilometres, researchers say it greatly improves models of Jupiter’s interior, gravity, and atmospheric structure, offering deeper insigh...

NASA, SpaceX Delay ISS Mission Launch Due to Bad Weather
NASA and SpaceX have delayed the Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station because of unfavorable weather expected at Cape Canaveral. The launch is now targeted for February 12, with four astronauts waiting in quarantine as teams prepare the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft for the next launch window.

Venus May Hide a Vast Underground Tunnel Formed by Ancient Volcanic Eruptions, Scientists Say
Scientists analysing NASA’s Magellan radar data have identified signs of a vast underground lava tunnel on Venus. If confirmed, it would be only the second such structure found on the planet, challenging the belief that Venus is geologically inactive and opening new possibilities for studying its volcanic past.
