Boeing will try to launch its first crew on Starliner, again
Cape Canaveral (AFP) June 1, 2024
Troubled aerospace giant Boeing will try once more to fly its first crew to the International Space Station aboard a Starliner spaceship on Saturday, after the last attempt was scrubbed hours before liftoff.
Following checks by engineering teams, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are "go" for launch atop a United Launch Alliance rocket at 12:25 pm (1625 GMT) from the Cape Canav

Space station research advances NASA's plans to explore the moon, Mars
Space, the saying goes, is hard. And the farther humans go, the harder it can get.
Some of the challenges on missions to explore the moon and Mars include preventing microbial contamination of these destinations, navigating there safely, protecting crew members and hardware from radiation, and maintaining and repairing equipment.
Research on the International Space Station is helping NASA scientists develop tools and processes to ensure success on these important missions. Here are highlights from some of the investigations making space a little easier.
Tracking tiny stowaways
Bacteria and fungi live in and on all humans and all around us on Earth. Most of these microorganisms are beneficial or harmless but introducing them to other celestial bodies could adversely affect our ability to study ecosystems on those other worlds.

Twin NASA Satellites to Measure Earth's Polar Energy Emissions
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 31, 2024
NASA has launched the first of two shoebox-size CubeSats to help scientists understand the behavior of clouds and water vapor at Earth's polar regions and their impact on climate. The first satellite of the Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) mission was launched from New Zealand on May 25. The second CubeSat is scheduled to launch on June 1.

FCC chair calls for stricter 'space junk' rules
Washington DC (UPI) May 30, 2024
The chair of the Federal Communications Commission called on the agency to strengthen rules to "limit the risks posed by accidental explosions in space" in light of a huge influx in the number of satellites being launched and a spate of recent events in which space junk has fallen to Earth.
"We can no longer afford to launch new satellites into our skies without being thoughtful about s
