NASA’s Miner++ AI Brings Machine Digs Into TESS Archive to the Hunt for Nearby Earth-Like Worlds
NASA’s TESS mission is revolutionising the search for exoplanets with the help of artificial intelligence. Using deep-learning tools such as ExoMiner++, scientists can rapidly distinguish real planetary transits from stellar noise. This approach has already revealed thousands of planet candidates and is expected to play a crucial role as upcoming...

"Will Have FOMO": Retired Astronaut Sunita Williams On Upcoming Moon Mission
Just retired NASA astronaut Sunita Williams says the upcoming Moon mission under the Artemis programme will give her FOMO even while she finds joy exploring Earth and all the places she glimpsed from up there in the sky.

Astronomers Detect Rare Rogue Planet Drifting Alone 10,000 Light-Years from Earth
Astronomers have confirmed a rare rogue planet, drifting without a star nearly 10,000 light-years away. Using gravitational microlensing, their distance and mass were measured, suggesting that free-floating planets may be abundant across the Milky Way. Upcoming telescopes, including NASA’s Roman Space Telescope and China’s Earth 2.0 mission, ar...

Blue Origin to Fly First Wheelchair User to Space on New Shepard NS-37
Blue Origin’s upcoming NS-37 mission marks a historic first: sending aerospace engineer Michaela “Michi” Benthaus, a wheelchair user, into space aboard New Shepard. Scheduled for Dec. 18, the flight will take six passengers past the Kármán line for a few minutes of weightlessness, highlighting growing accessibility and inclusion in private ...

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Surpassing Expectations Even Before Launch, Reveals Research
NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope is expected to measure seismic waves in over 300,000 red giant stars, far greater than early predictions. These signals will help scientists better understand exoplanet systems and the Milky Way’s ancient core. Researchers say Roman’s natural survey design enables this breakthrough even before the telesco...

SpaceX Eyes V3 Rocket With Raptor 3 Engines After Wrapping Starship V2 Tests
SpaceX’s Starship Flight 11 marked the final mission of the V2 design, achieving flawless launch and recovery. The next-gen V3 Starship will feature new Raptor 3 engines, advanced docking systems, and upgraded booster recovery—critical milestones as SpaceX prepares for its upcoming Mars fleet and NASA’s Artemis III lunar landing.

Artemis 2 Orion Capsule Named “Integrity” for Upcoming Moon Flyby
On Sept. 24, 2025, NASA’s Artemis 2 crew announced their Orion spacecraft will be called Integrity. The name symbolizes trust and respect as four astronauts prepare for a 10-day flight around the Moon, the first crewed lunar mission in over five decades.

NASA Resolves Artemis II Rocket Vibration Issues Through Wind Tunnel Testing
NASA has resolved troubling airflow vibrations detected during Artemis I. By combining wind-tunnel tests, advanced pressure-sensing paint, and supercomputer simulations, engineers added aerodynamic strakes to the SLS rocket. The fix cuts turbulence, ensuring Artemis II remains safe and on schedule for its upcoming crewed mission to the Moon.

Sun Shows Signs of Rising Activity Following Decades of Weakening, Study Finds
A new NASA study shows the Sun’s activity has been rising since 2008, reversing decades of decline. The unexpected trend suggests greater risks from solar storms, flares, and plasma ejections. Scientists stress improved forecasting is essential, with upcoming missions like IMAP and SWFO-L1 set to expand space weather monitoring and protection eff...

ISS Crew Studies Bone Loss and Brain Adaptation to Safeguard Astronaut Health
Astronauts aboard the ISS concluded a week of research on bone health, brain adaptation, and eye function while servicing spacesuits and systems. The crew also captured Earth imagery and prepared for the upcoming Cygnus cargo mission launching on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket this September.
