Artemis 2: Astronauts Aboard Orion Spacecraft Begin Journey Towards the Moon on Day 2
NASA made history on Wednesday after successfully launching the Artemis 2 mission, which is carrying four astronauts to a lunar flyby. This is the first time in the 21st century that NASA has attempted a crewed mission, more than 50 years after the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. During the initial phase, the spacecraft flew around Earth a couple of tim...

Artemis II Launched: NASA’s First Crewed Mission in 50 Years Aims for the Moon
NASA’s Artemis II mission was launched on Wednesday evening, marking the first time in 50 years that the space agency sent a crewed mission towards the Moon. The successful take-off of the new Space Launch System rocket and the Orion spacecraft took place from Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center at 6:35pm EDT (Thursday, 4:05am IST).

NASA’s Carruthers Observatory Begins Mission to Study Earth’s Hydrogen Halo
NASA’s Carruthers Observatory has begun its two-year science mission to study Earth’s hydrogen-rich exosphere from a halo orbit at Sun–Earth L1. Equipped with ultraviolet cameras, the small satellite will continuously image the faint geocorona, tracking how solar storms and fast solar wind streams cause the upper atmosphere to expand, contrac...

NASA’s ESCAPADE Mission to Study Space Weather Between Earth and Mars
NASA’s ESCAPADE mission will send two identical orbiters to Mars to study how solar wind and space weather strip away the planet’s atmosphere. Launching in 2025 and arriving in 2027, the twin spacecraft will measure solar wind conditions and Mars’s atmospheric response simultaneously, helping scientists understand how the Red Planet lost its ...

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...
