NASA’s Artemis 2 Crew to Spend Last Full Day in Space Before Earth Re-Entry
NASA’s Artemis 2 mission has entered its last full day in space. The Orion spacecraft is speeding towards the Earth, and is scheduled to make a splashdown in less than 24 hours. The US space agency’s first crewed mission in 50 years is expected to bring new insights into deep space missions and will pave the way for future crewed missions to Ma...

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.

Supercomputer Study Finds 97,000 Stable Orbits Between Earth and Moon
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory simulated one million potential satellite orbits between Earth and the Moon to assess long-term stability. Fewer than 10% remained stable over six years, highlighting the challenges of operating in cislunar space. Yet the results identified roughly 97,000 viable orbits, offering valuable options ...

Lunar Surface Is Cracking as New Tectonic Map Reveals Recent Ridges Stretching Across the Moon, Study Suggests
A new global map of small mare ridges suggests the Moon’s tectonic activity is younger and more widespread than previously believed. Researchers identified more than 1,100 previously unknown ridges, showing the lunar crust is still shrinking. These features, formed by thrust faults similar to lobate scarps, indicate moonquakes could occur across ...
