NASA’s Twin TRACERS Satellites Will Monitor Space Weather to Shield Earth from Solar Storms
NASA’s TRACERS satellites will fly in tandem through Earth’s polar cusps to study magnetic storms and solar wind effects. The mission aims to improve predictions of space weather events that threaten satellites, power grids, and astronauts, offering new insight into magnetic reconnection and helping protect vital systems from the hazards of int...

Two Spacecraft Recreate Artificial Solar Eclipses to Observe the Sun’s Superhot Corona
Twin satellites in ESA’s Proba-3 mission have successfully recreated artificial solar eclipses from space to examine the sun’s million-degree corona. The breakthrough will allow continuous observations of the sun’s outer atmosphere, offering rare insights that natural eclipses on Earth can’t provide. The mission marks a major step in solar ...

NASA's TRACERS Mission Rescheduled for 2025 to Explore Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
NASA has delayed its TRACERS mission to no earlier than 2025 to provide additional preparation time for the crew. The mission will send twin satellites to explore how solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetosphere, particularly through a process called magnetic reconnection. These high-speed solar particles can trigger auroras and impact satellite...

NASA Twin Satellites to Study Signal Disruption From Space
NASA is preparing to launch twin satellites this month that focus on how radio signals that pass through the Earth's upper atmosphere can be distorted.

NASA's Celebrated "Twins Study" Shows What Spaceflight Does To Human Body
Astronaut Scott Kelly made himself a guinea pig for all the people who dream of human journeys to Mars and other destinations in space. In 2015, Kelly rode a rocket into space and spent nearly a year on the International Space Station in low Earth orbit, while his identical twin brother, Mark Kelly, stayed on Earth's surface for NASA's celebrated "...

The Truth About Astronaut Scott Kelly's Viral 'Space Genes'
In March 2016, NASA astronaut Scott Kelly returned from an unprecedented 340-day mission on the International Space Station. A year later, his doctors released preliminary results of an extensive study comparing his health to that of his earthbound identical twin brother, Mark. And this past January, NASA announced that attendees at a recent scient...

Can Space Travel Reverse Ageing? The Curious Case Of Astronaut Scott Kelly
Does travel in space reverse ageing? Contrary to general perception that one ages faster in near zero gravity, a new NASA study finds space travel may have reversed aging at least in one astronaut.

NASA Wishes Its Space Twins Happy Birthday. You Can Too
American astronaut Scott Kelly is almost done with his year-in-space mission that started last year in March. The countdown for his return to earth has begun, but not before he got to celebrate a very special birthday in space. Now how many people can boast of that?
