NASA and ISRO Prepare to Launch NISAR Earth-Mapping Satellite
NASA and India’s ISRO are set to launch NISAR, a first-of-its-kind Earth-observing satellite equipped with advanced dual-band radar. Scheduled to lift off no earlier than late July 2025 from Sriharikota, India, NISAR will map nearly all of Earth’s land and ice every 12 days, capturing surface changes with centimeter-level precision. Its L-band ...

NASA’s Parker Probe Sends Closest-Ever Images from Inside the Sun’s Corona
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has achieved a solar milestone by capturing the closest-ever images of the Sun, taken just 3.8 million miles from its surface in December 2024. These WISPR images reveal unprecedented details of the corona, solar wind, and CME collisions. Scientists say this breakthrough will improve our ability to forecast space weather...

Climate Satellite MethaneSAT Fails After Just One Year in Orbit
MethaneSAT, a climate-monitoring satellite backed by Google and the Bezos Earth Fund, has failed after just one year in orbit. Launched in March 2024 to track methane leaks, the $88 million satellite lost power in June 2025. Though unrecoverable, mission operators will continue analyzing the collected data to support climate action and emission tra...

NASA Study Confirms Solar Storms Prematurely Ended Starlink Satellite's Lifespan
A recent study, backed by NASA, reveals that solar storms are causing Starlink satellites to reenter Earth's atmosphere much faster than anticipated. Analysing data from hundreds of Starlink deorbit events between 2020 and 2024, researchers found that heightened geomagnetic activity drastically increases atmospheric drag, leading to quicker orbital...

Seismic Mystery Solved: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Detects Greenland Mega-Tsunamis
In September 2023, a global seismic mystery puzzled scientists for nine days. New research now confirms it was caused by two mega-tsunamis triggered by landslides in East Greenland. The waves became trapped in a fjord, forming seiches that shook the Earth. Using cutting-edge data from NASA’s SWOT satellite, scientists detected these hidden waves ...
