NASA’s Mars Sample Return Mission May Survive with Lockheed Martin’s Low-Cost Proposal
NASA’s Mars Sample Return Mission is at risk due to skyrocketing costs, but a new cost-efficient proposal from Lockheed Martin could save the mission. By reusing technology from the InSight lander, the plan promises to bring back Mars samples at a fraction of the expected $11 billion.

NASA SPHEREx Telescope to Map the Universe and Search for Life’s Ingredients
NASA’s SPHEREx mission, set to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on February 27, aims to explore the origins of the universe and the formation of galaxies. Using near-infrared light, the telescope will study over 450 million galaxies and 100 million stars in the Milky Way. It will also search for water and organic molecules in regions where ...

NASA's Dual Rocket Launch to Uncover Mysteries of Alaska's Auroras
NASA is set to launch two rockets from the Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska, aiming to study the aurora borealis. The missions will focus on flickering auroras and the mysterious dark patches known as "black auroras." Led by Marilia Samara and Robert Michell, the rockets will collect data on auroral behaviour and electron movement. Precision tim...

NASA's SPHEREx Mission to Map the Sky in 3D Set for February 2025 Launch
NASA's SPHEREx mission, set to launch in February 2025 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, will create a 3D map of the sky, examining hundreds of millions of galaxies to study the universe’s inflation phase. It will also explore the "collective glow" of distant galaxies and life-essential molecules like water and carbon dioxide in the Milky Way. The mis...

Scientists Uncover Invisible Ambipolar Electric Field Around Earth for First Time, New Study Reveals
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting and measuring the ambipolar electric field around Earth for the first time. This field, hypothesised over 60 years ago, was observed during the Endurance rocket mission launched by NASA in May 2022. The ambipolar field, located in the ionosphere at around 250 kilometres above Earth's surf...
