The Artemis III mission, once heralded as NASA’s triumphant return of human spaceflight to the lunar surface in 2026, now faces at least a year’s delay, with its launch target pushed to mid-2027.
The National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) lunar vehicle development team may use General Motors’ (GM’s) cutting-edge Ultium EV technology for its Artemis campaign, which aims to se
Washington, September 30 : In a discovery that is nothing less than astonishing, NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander has detected snow falling from Martian clouds.
A laser instrument designed to gather knowledge of how the atmosphere and surface interact on Mars, detected snow from clouds about 2.5 miles above the spacecraft’s landing site.
Data show the snow vaporizing before reaching the ground.
Washington, September 11 : NASA researchers have identified feasible emission scenarios that could keep carbon dioxide (CO2) below levels that some scientists have called dangerous for climate.
When and how global oil production will peak has been debated, making it difficult to anticipate emissions from the burning of fuel and to precisely estimate its impact on climate.
To better understand how emissions might change in the future, Pushker Kharecha and James Hansen of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York considered a wide range of fossil fuel consumption scenarios.
Washington, September 6 : NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has detected a faint, partial ring orbiting with one small moon of Saturn and confirmed the presence of another partial ring orbiting with a second moon, which provides further evidence that most of the planet’s small, inner moons orbit within partial or complete rings.
Recent Cassini images show material, called ring arcs, extending ahead of and behind the small moons Anthe and Methone in their orbits.
