A colossal asteroid slammed into Jupiter’s largest moon Ganymede with so much power it dramatically and permanently reoriented the moon roughly 4 billion years ago, new research suggests. Scientists say the pivotal impact also significantly influenced the geological and internal evolution of the moon, which is larger than Mercury. Computer simulations by planetary scientist Naoyuki […]

NASA is considering pulling a pair of shelved spacecraft out of storage to facilitate a non-agency mission to spy on notorious asteroid Apophis. Apophis, also known as asteroid 99942, is a 1,100-foot (340-meter) asteroid set to fly by Earth in 2029. Named after the Egyptian god of chaos and destruction, the massive space rock was

Over the years, meteorological collaborations have been an integral part of the cooperation between China and Africa. This significant partnership has been made possible through China’s expansion of its Fengyun satellite services to over 30 African countries, significantly enhancing Africa’s meteorological capabilities. These services have provided meteorological data that have served a critical role in

When NASA’s Artemis 3 crewed mission lands on the lunar surface a few years from now, the first astronauts to walk on the moon since the Apollo age will be able to take advantage of something their antecedents could not: cellular network technology. Artemis 3‘s astronauts will wear spacesuits equipped with 4G connectivity — the

A space capsule that NASA used to learn more about safely launching astronauts to the moon has arrived at a U.S. school for a different type of education. The University of North Dakota (UND) has taken delivery of the Orion Max Launch Abort System (MLAS) test vehicle, which 15 years ago demonstrated one possible way

Hardware is on the move for future NASA moon missions with astronauts. Big pieces for both Artemis 2 and Artemis 3 hit the road in recent weeks as the missions, now set for 2025 and 2026, respectively, continue to assemble key hardware ahead of their lunar launches. Artemis 2 aims to send four astronauts around

On Saturday (Aug. 31) NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore noticed something weird inside the Starliner spacecraft. Wilmore radioed down to Mission Control to ask about the bizarre noises heard emanating from Starliner‘s speakers while the spacecraft is currently docked to the International Space Station (ISS). “There’s a strange noise coming through the speaker,” Wilmore tells Mission

The South African National Space Agency (SANSA) and the Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute (GSSTI) have signed a collaboration agreement. This agreement concludes a highly productive week-long African Heads of Space Agencies meeting at the National Space Conference 2024. Mr Mudau, the CEO of SANSA, and Dr Joseph Bremang Tandoh, the director of GSSTI, signed

SpaceX launched two Falcon 9 rockets in just over an hour early Saturday (Aug. 31) and nailed back-to-back booster landings three days after a recent failure. The two Falcon 9 launches — which lifted off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base, respectively — delivered a total of 42

Two Mars-bound smallsats that will fly on the highly anticipated debut of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket have arrived at their launch site in Florida. The satellite duo, known as ESCAPADE (“Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers”), are set to launch atop New Glenn no earlier than Oct. 13 from Cape Canaveral Space Force
