New evidence from NASA’s Perseverance rover suggests that water did not simply appear once and disappear from Mars. Rocks at Jezero Crater record at least three separate episodes of water interaction, including groundwater, a possible ancient lake and later hot underground water.
More than half a century after humans first landed on the Moon, a new generation of space agencies and private companies is preparing to return—this time to stay. The race to build the first permanent lunar base has become one of the biggest scientific and geopolitical competitions of the decade, promising breakthroughs in exploration, technology, and future missions to Mars.
NASA has launched an unprecedented mission to save the aging Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory from re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. If successful, the mission will become the world’s first robotic rescue of a government science satellite and could redefine the future of satellite servicing.
The Axiom-4 mission has become another milestone in commercial spaceflight, delivering an international crew to the International Space Station to conduct groundbreaking scientific research and demonstrate the future of global cooperation in space.
