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 ...

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...
