NASA CANVAS CubeSat Targets Lightning-Space Weather Link

NASA's CANVAS CubeSat will measure very-low-frequency radio waves from lightning and human transmitters to track energy flow from the ionosphere into the magnetosphere. The data is intended to improve space weather models that satellite operators rely on to assess radiation exposure risks.

Artemis Crew Reports Heat Shield Charring After Reentry

An Artemis astronaut reported visible charring on the Orion capsule's heat shield after the crew's reentry from lunar distance. The observation adds to ongoing NASA and contractor evaluation of Orion's Avcoat ablative material, which showed unexpected erosion during the uncrewed Artemis I mission. Engineers will assess

Artemis II Pilot Glover Details Flying Orion Around Moon

Artemis II pilot Victor Glover spoke publicly Thursday, six days after the crew's return from a lunar flyby aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft. As the mission's primary test pilot, Glover's assessments of Orion's flight and landing characteristics directly inform planning for future crewed lunar surface missions.

SpaceX to Launch ESA Rosalind Franklin Rover in 2028

NASA confirmed SpaceX will launch ESA's Rosalind Franklin Mars rover on a Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center, targeting late 2028. The deal replaces a Russian Soyuz arrangement severed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The mission, originally planned for 2009, is designed to search for signs of extraterrestrial

Artemis II Crew Declares Moon Base "Absolutely Doable"

Artemis II astronauts resumed surface simulation training within two days of splashdown, with mission specialist Christina Koch reporting strong performance on geology tasks in lunar EVA suits. The rapid turnaround underscores NASA's operational momentum toward a permanent Moon base. Artemis III, targeting the first

Falcon 9 Carries Cygnus XL to ISS

SpaceX launched a Northrop Grumman Cygnus XL spacecraft aboard a Falcon 9 rocket on a NASA ISS resupply mission. The flight delivers crew provisions and scientific payloads covering microgravity research, medical studies, and space weather experiments. Mission cadence remains a key indicator of ISS program health ahead
