NASA repairs issue with Voyager 1 space probe
Engineers with NASA have repaired an issue with the space agency's Voyager 1 spacecraft, but have yet to identify the cause of the problem, officials confirmed on Tuesday.
The probe had been sending garbled data about its status, including information about its health and activities to mission controllers, despite otherwise operating normally.
NASA also said the rest of the probe New launch attempt Saturday for NASA's Moon rocket: official
NASA will make a second attempt to launch its powerful new Moon rocket on Saturday, after scrubbing a test flight earlier in the week, an official said.
Blastoff had been planned for Monday morning but was canceled because a test to get one of the rocket's four RS-25 engines to the proper temperature range for launch was not successful.

NASA will make a second attempt to launch its powerful new Moon rocket on Saturday, after scrubbing a test flight earlier in the week, an official said Tuesday.
The highly anticipated uncrewed mission—dubbed Artemis 1—will bring the United States a step closer to returning astronauts to the Moon five decades after humans last walked on the lunar surface.
Mission manager Mike Sarafin, said the NASA team "agreed to move our launch date to Saturday, September the third."
Blastoff had been planned for Monday morning but was canceled because a test to get one of the rocket's four RS-25 engines to the proper temperature range for launch was not successful.
Second try for the Artemis I Moon flight
Teams are moving forward to the Moon with a second launch attempt of the Artemis I mission on Saturday, 3 September. The two-hour launch window starts at 20:17 CEST (19:17 BST).
Chaotic crust contains clues to Mars’ watery past
Mars Express takes us over the Holden Basin – part of a region that is a high-ranking target in the search for signs of past life on the Red Planet. This image was taken on 24 April 2022 by the spacecraft’s High Resolution Stereo Camera.

Comet impacts formed continents when Solar System entered galactic arms
New Curtin research has found evidence that Earth's early continents resulted from being hit by comets as our Solar System passed into and out of the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy, turning traditional thinking about our planet's formation on its head.
The new research, published in Geology, challenges the existing theory that Earth's crust was solely formed by processes inside our pl BlackSky awarded NASA contract to advance Earth Science research
BlackSky Technology Inc. (NYSE: BKSY) received its first call order, worth $1.7 million, from NASA to evaluate accessibility, accuracy, quality and utility of the Company's imaging data services for the Commercial Smallsat Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program.
"New discoveries in Earth science can be accelerated with innovative research methods and real-time dynamic data sets that keep up with Scientists evaluate Earth-cooling strategies with geoengineering simulations
A group of international scientists led by Cornell is - more rigorously and systematically than ever before - evaluating if and how the stratosphere could be made just a little bit "brighter," reflecting more incoming sunlight so that an ever-warming Earth maintains its cool.
Their work was published Aug. 12 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
