NASA’s Artemis 2 mission is one step closer to its ambitious goal of sending astronauts around the Moon. According to recent updates from NASA, the Orion spacecraft, which will be at the heart of the mission, has successfully completed its propellant loading and is now advancing through critical phases of its preparation. This milestone comes after the spacecraft was moved …

President Trump signed a new executive order Wednesday (Aug. 13) aimed at accelerating U.S. commercial space activity by slashing what are described as regulatory delays and expanding the nation’s launch infrastructure. The order, “Enabling Competition in the Commercial Space Industry,” directs multiple federal agencies to streamline launch licensing, fast-track spaceport construction and better support emerging in-space industries. Transportation Secretary and …

On Wednesday (Aug. 13), NASA announced that the four satellites of its exciting new sun-studying mission, PUNCH, have successfully reached their stations in orbit around our planet. They all lie along Earth’s day-night line to earn a continuous view of our star. PUNCH, which stands for Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere, is meant to do precisely what its …

For years, astronomers have suspected that an unseen planet may exist far beyond Neptune to explain unusual gravitational patterns in the Kuiper Belt. These patterns, such as the clustering and tilted orbits off distant objects, suggested the gravitational pull of a massive, undiscovered planet, possibly seven to 17 times Earth’s mass. Source link
