  Artemis 2 Mission Starts Return Trip to Earth After Historic Lunar Flyby

  NASA’s Artemis 2 mission has now set its sights on Earth after the successful completion of the lunar flyby. During the flyby, the crew set a new record for the maximum distance travelled by a human from the Earth. They also observed the far side of the lunar surface and had the opportunity to witness a rare solar eclipse as well.

  Artemis 2: Astronauts Aboard Orion Spacecraft Begin Journey Towards the Moon on Day 2

  NASA made history on Wednesday after successfully launching the Artemis 2 mission, which is carrying four astronauts to a lunar flyby. This is the first time in the 21st century that NASA has attempted a crewed mission, more than 50 years after the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. During the initial phase, the spacecraft flew around Earth a couple of tim...

  NASA’s Carruthers Observatory Begins Mission to Study Earth’s Hydrogen Halo

  NASA’s Carruthers Observatory has begun its two-year science mission to study Earth’s hydrogen-rich exosphere from a halo orbit at Sun–Earth L1. Equipped with ultraviolet cameras, the small satellite will continuously image the faint geocorona, tracking how solar storms and fast solar wind streams cause the upper atmosphere to expand, contrac...

  NASA’s ESCAPADE Mission to Study Space Weather Between Earth and Mars

  NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will send two identical orbiters to Mars to study how solar wind and space weather strip away the planet’s atmosphere. Launching in 2025 and arriving in 2027, the twin spacecraft will measure solar wind conditions and Mars’s atmospheric response simultaneously, helping scientists understand how the Red Planet lost its ...

  NASA’s GNEISS Mission Will Map Electric Currents Behind the Aurora

  NASA’s GNEISS mission will launch from Alaska in early 2026 to probe the electric currents that drive auroras. Two rockets will fly through glowing auroral arcs, releasing sub-payloads whose radio signals act like a CT scan. By mapping electron density and direction, scientists aim to improve space weather forecasting and better protect satellite...

  NASA’s PUNCH Watches Comet Lemmon Respond to the Sun’s Powerful Influence

  NASA’s PUNCH mission has captured striking views of Comet Lemmon as it passed close to the Sun in late 2025. The observations show how solar wind and eruptions reshape a comet’s tail, sometimes causing it to break and regrow. The images provide valuable insight into how solar activity affects objects across the inner solar system.
