As the largest commissioning source for the Space Force, the Academy offers an array of space-related programs. This summer, cadets joined their ROTC peers for the third consecutive year for the Azimuth space education and training program. During the three-week session, participants visited commercial industry partners, launched rockets with the Blue Horizon Rocketry Club, operated satellites w Scientists examine Earth's early life and environmental interactions over 500 million years
The atmosphere, ocean, and life on Earth have interacted over the past 500 million years, creating conditions that supported early organisms. An interdisciplinary team has detailed this co-evolutionary history in a perspective article published in the multidisciplinary open-access journal National Science Review (Oxford University Press, Impact Factor 20.7).

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have a notable history in element discovery, being credited with 16 of the 118 known elements. Recently, they've taken a critical step towards creating a new one: element 120.
An international team led by Berkeley Lab's Heavy Element Group announced the production of superheavy element 116 using a

Boeing says Starliner hot fire test on ISS went well with return date decision coming up
As Boeing's Starliner nears two months in space, teams performed a hot fire test of thruster performance and helium leaks on the spacecraft over the weekend to help inform the decision of when the spacecraft will come home and if its two NASA astronaut passengers will be coming with it.
Boeing announced in a press release the test of the Starliner's Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters was performed Saturday afternoon while it was docked to the International Space Station. Teams with NASA and Boeing also monitored the helium system for the Crew Flight Test mission.
"Both teams were very happy with the results," said NASA's Starliner flight director Chloe Mehring in the press release.
The spacecraft arrived at the ISS on June 6 one day after launching from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on board.
Dubbed the Crew Flight Test mission, the astronauts are amid the first crewed flight of the spacecraft as part of Boeing's efforts to have it certified for use alongside SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
