AI-Assisted Study Finds No Evidence of Liquid Water in Mars’ Seasonal Dark Streaks
A large-scale AI analysis of more than two million Mars orbiter images shows that the planet’s dark slope streaks form through seasonal dust avalanches, not flowing briny water. The results settle a long-running debate, revealing that wind-driven dust activity shapes Mars’ surface and offering new insights into the planet’s climate past and e...

Blue Origin Joins SpaceX in Orbital Booster Reuse Era With New Glenn’s Successful Launch and Landing
Blue Origin’s New Glenn successfully launched NASA’s ESCAPADE mission to Mars on November 13, 2025, marking its second flight and its first ocean booster landing on the ship Jacklyn. The mission deploys twin satellites built by Rocket Lab to study how the solar wind strips Mars’ atmosphere during a 22-month journey to the Red Planet.

NASA’s ESCAPADE Mission Will Send Twin Probes to Uncover Mars’s Atmospheric Secrets
NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will launch twin mini-satellites, Blue and Gold, to Mars aboard Blue Origin’s New Glenn. The probes will study how solar wind stripped away Mars’s atmosphere and water, helping scientists understand the Red Planet’s lost climate and its transformation into the dry world we see today.

Bad Weather Delays Blue Origin’s New Glenn Launch of NASA’s Mars Mission
Blue Origin’s New Glenn launch was postponed on November 9, 2025, because of heavy clouds at Cape Canaveral. The rocket was carrying NASA’s twin ESCAPADE orbiters to study Mars’s atmosphere. The delay came a day before the FAA’s new daytime launch ban during a federal shutdown. The next attempt is scheduled for November 12.

ISRO Collects Advanced Chandrayaan-2 Data To Study Moon's Polar Regions
ISRO on Saturday said it has collected advanced data from the Chandrayaan-2 lunar orbiter to gain a deeper understanding of the Moon's polar regions, including parameters describing the physical and dielectric properties of its surface.

Scientists Just Solved the Mystery of the Moon’s Lopsided Dust Halo
Scientists have solved why the Moon’s dust cloud is uneven: heat. Using computer models, researchers found that meteor impacts on the Moon’s sunlit surface fling 6–8% more dust into space than on the cold night side, creating a lopsided halo. NASA warns this dust could threaten future landers and astronauts.

China’s Tianwen-1 Captures Rare Interstellar Comet From Orbit Around Mars
China’s Tianwen-1 Mars mission achieved a new milestone by photographing interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, the third such object ever recorded. This breakthrough highlights China’s growing strength in planetary science, deep-space imaging, and interstellar observation, offering scientists an unprecedented look at materials beyond our solar syste

SpaceX Boosts Starlink Network with 28 New Satellites from California
On November 6, 2025, SpaceX launched 28 Starlink satellites under mission Group 11-14 from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The Falcon 9’s first-stage booster landed safely on the drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You.” This launch expanded Starlink’s broadband constellation to about 8,800 satellites, pushing global internet coverage closer to...

China and NASA Coordinate to Avoid Satellite Collision for the First Time
China’s CNSA made history by alerting NASA to a possible satellite collision—marking the first instance of Beijing warning Washington in orbit. With Earth’s orbits growing crowded from megaconstellations like Starlink and Guowang, the event signals a new phase of cooperation in global space traffic control and shared responsibility for orbita...
