Maven stays silent after routine pass behind Mars
NASA engineers are continuing efforts to restore contact with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) orbiter after the spacecraft fell silent during a routine pass behind Mars on December 6 2025. Before the loss of signal, telemetry from MAVEN indicated that the spacecraft and its subsystems were operating within expected parameters as it approached occultation by the planet.
A Sun boundary map tracks shifting Alfven surface over solar cycle
Astronomers have assembled the first continuous, two-dimensional maps of the outer edge of the Sun's atmosphere, tracing the boundary where the solar wind escapes the Sun's magnetic control. By combining these global maps with close-up measurements, researchers at the Center for Astrophysicshysics | Harvard and Smithsonian report that this boundary expands and becomes more irregular and spiky as Mission Space to fly second space weather payload with Rogue Space
Mission Space will launch its second payload in orbit in partnership with Rogue Space, extending its commercial space weather measurement network. The companies announced the mission during the Spacepower Conference in Orlando.
The first Mission Space payload, ZOHAR-I, launched in March 2025 and recently received the 2025 Global Tech Award for advances in high-cadence radiation monitoring NASA's Parker Solar Probe Spies Solar Wind 'U-Turn'
Images captured by NASA's Parker Solar Probe as the spacecraft made its record-breaking closest approach to the Sun in December 2024 have now revealed new details about how solar magnetic fields responsible for space weather escape from the Sun - and how sometimes they don't.
Like a toddler, our Sun occasionally has disruptive outbursts. But instead of throwing a fit, the Sun spews magneti
