A study of farside basalts returned by China's Chang'e-6 mission has unveiled evidence of a significant resurgence in the Moon's magnetic field approximately 2.8 billion years ago (Ga). This discovery offers key insights into the lunar dynamo and its impact on the Moon's interior and surface evolution.

In December 2024, Europe's Themis reusable rocket first-stage demonstrator successfully completed a critical 'full fit-check' at ArianeGroup's Les Mureaux facility in France.
This significant step verified that all core components of Themis - including mechanical connections and interfaces - integrate seamlessly, ensuring the lower and upper segments align and connect as intended.

NASA is preparing to send humans back to the Moon with the Artemis program, aiming to establish a long-term presence on the lunar surface. The Lunar South Pole (LSP) has been chosen for its continuous line-of-sight communication with Earth, extended solar exposure, and proximity to vital resources like water ice. However, the unique environment of the South Pole presents significant challenges,
