Axiom-4 Mission Carrying Indian Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla Reportedly Delayed Due to LOx Leak
A liquid oxygen (LOx) leak detected in SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has led to the fourth delay of the Axiom-4 mission, which includes Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla. Identified during a static fire test, the leak has paused launch plans as engineers work on repairs and safety checks, with a new launch date yet to be confirmed.

NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Gears Up for Mission to Explore Solar System’s Edge
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has begun final preparations at Kennedy Space Center for a launch no earlier than September 2025. The mission will position IMAP at Lagrange Point 1, a million miles from Earth, to study the solar wind and the edge of the heliosphere. The spacecraft, built by Johns Hopkins APL, will fly al...

NASA Stacks Artemis 2 Second Stage While the Future of SLS Remains Uncertain
NASA has stacked the Artemis 2 rocket’s second stage at Kennedy Space Centre, marking major progress toward its 2026 crewed moon mission. Despite this milestone, a recent budget proposal recommends ending the SLS program after Artemis 3, raising questions about the long-term future of NASA's lunar exploration strategy and deep space transportatio...

NASA's TRACERS Mission Rescheduled for 2025 to Explore Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
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...

Artemis II Orion Service Module Secured for Launch at Kennedy Space Center
NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft is a step closer to its mission around the Moon. Three spacecraft adapter jettison fairings have been installed on its service module at Kennedy Space Center. These panels will protect the solar arrays from heat, wind, and acoustic forces during launch. Once in space, they will detach, allowing the arrays to dep...

NASA to Launch Three Rockets in Alaska to Study Auroral Substorms’ Impact
NASA is conducting a rocket experiment from Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska. Three rockets will launch within a three-hour window to study how auroral substorms influence the Earth's upper atmosphere. Scientists will observe whether auroras drive vertical convection or if acoustic-buoyancy waves spread their energy over a wider region. Vapour t...
