Lunar Trailblazer will make macro-measurements of the lunar surface in 2025
NASA's upcoming Artemis II mission is slated to return astronauts to the Moon no sooner than April 2026. Astronauts were last on the Moon in 1972 during the Apollo 17 mission.
Artemis II will utilize NASA's Space Launch System, which is an extremely powerful rocket that will enable human space exploration beyond Earth's atmosphere. The crew of four will travel in an Orion spacecraft, which Sols 4402-4415: Rover Decks and Sequence Calls for the Holidays
Welcome to the 2024 holiday plan for Curiosity! This year we're spanning 14 sols to last us through the Earth new year. And this is my fourth year operating Mastcam during the holidays (throwback to 2023 Marsmas!). I already knew to expect a long day, so I got my lunch prepared - blew Mars a kiss in the pre-dawn sky - and headed to work at 0600 Pacific time to start planning prep. Luckily my tea SpaceX launches final mission of 2024 with 21 Starlink satellites
SpaceX successfully completed its final launch of a record-breaking year early Tuesday morning, deploying 21 Starlink satellites into orbit from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 12:39 a.m. EST, marking the company's 134th orbital mission in 2024. "This is the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, BlueBird-1, USSF-124, mPOWER-B, and 11 Starlink missions," SpaceX noted. China allocates lunar samples for new research projects
China's Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Center, part of the China National Space Administration, has approved its eighth batch of lunar sample research applications. These applications allow scientists to borrow lunar material collected during the Chang'e 5 and Chang'e 6 missions.
A total of 8,550.4 milligrams of lunar samples will be distributed among 18 researchers representing 1
