Voyager 1 Resumes Full Science Operations
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 17, 2024
The spacecraft has resumed gathering information about interstellar space.
NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is conducting normal science operations for the first time following a technical issue that arose in November 2023.
The team partially resolved the issue in April when they prompted the spacecraft to begin returning engineering data, which includes information about the health and s

NASA's Perseverance Reaches Key Scientific Target in Ancient Riverbed
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 17, 2024
Initially considered a simple route free of obstructions, Neretva Vallis has presented numerous geological opportunities for the science team.
After navigating through a dune field to avoid challenging boulders, NASA's Perseverance Mars rover arrived at its latest area of interest on June 9. The route change not only reduced travel time to the "Bright Angel" site by several weeks but also

Ovzon 3 satellite reaches geostationary orbit
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 17, 2024
Ovzon's proprietary satellite Ovzon 3 has reached its orbital position in the geostationary arc after a five-month journey. Initial tests conducted by manufacturing partner Maxar have been completed, and the satellite, including the Ovzon On-Board-Processor, will soon be handed over to Ovzon for further in-orbit testing. The satellite is expected to enter commercial service mid-year 2024, as pla

NASA Transitions Hubble to One-Gyro Mode for Continued Science Operations
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 18, 2024
NASA successfully transitioned operations for the agency's Hubble Space Telescope to an alternate operating mode that uses one gyro, returning the spacecraft to daily science operations Friday. The telescope and its instruments are stable and functioning normally.
Hubble went into safe mode May 24 due to an ongoing issue with one of its gyroscopes (gyros), which measure the telescope's sle

China's Chang'e 6 Spacecraft Spotted by NASA's LRO on Lunar Far Side
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 18, 2024
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured an image of China's Chang'e 6 sample return spacecraft on the Moon's far side on June 7. Chang'e 6 had landed on June 1, and LRO imaged the lander on the rim of an eroded crater approximately 55 yards (50 meters) in diameter nearly a week later.
The LRO Camera team calculated the landing site coordinates to be around 42 degrees south latit

New Research Supports Modified Gravity Theory Over Dark Matter
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 18, 2024
Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have found new evidence that could change our understanding of the cosmos. Tobias Mistele, a post-doctoral scholar at the Department of Astronomy, used gravitational lensing to investigate dark matter. He discovered that the rotation curves of galaxies remain flat for millions of light years.
