Mars Rover Uncovers Evidence of Ancient Wet Climate in Jezero Crater
NASA's Perseverance rover identified light-colored rocks in Jezero crater that consist of white, aluminum-rich kaolinite clay. These rocks formed after prolonged exposure to water leached other minerals from parent rocks and sediments. The process required millions of years of rainfall in a humid environment.
Perseverance's SuperCam and Mastcam-Z instruments analyzed the kaolinite fragment Space station reaches new record with all docking ports in use
For the first time in the history of the International Space Station, all eight of its docking ports are occupied following the reinstallation of Northrop Grumman's Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft on the Earth-facing port of the Unity module. The visiting vehicles now attached are two SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, the Cygnus XL cargo ship, JAXA's HTV-X1 cargo vehicle, two Roscosmos Soyuz crew spacecraft, Spaceflight-tested menstrual cup offers choice on long missions

Europe’s next mission to Venus – Envision this (introduction)
Video:
00:01:01
Meet Envision. Europe’s next mission to Venus. Planned for launch in 2031.
Envision will study Venus from its core to its upper atmosphere to reveal more about the planet’s history, geological activity, and climate. It will help us understand why Earth’s closest neighbour – in distance as well as in physical characteristics – has evolved into such a hostile planet.
A mission like Envision takes years of planning, involving much teamwork between scientists and engineers. It’s as much a human as a technical endeavour. This video provides a peek behind the scenes at this process.
