Landing humans on Mars will be the greatest accomplishment of human civilization in this century. However, we are not going to Mars to prove that we can actually attain such a feat. Instead, we are going to the red planet to unlock several potentials for mankind. One of these potentials is to test our powerful …
After NASA completed its Artemis 1 uncrewed mission to the moon in December 2022, the space agency is already working towards its crewed Artemis 2 mission to the lunar orbit. The agency is looking at launching astronauts during its Artemis 2 mission to the moon as soon as 2024. NASA is planning to use a Space Launch …
As NASA is working toward establishing a permanent human presence on the moon, the space agency must know the best spot with lunar water on the moon’s surface. To help NASA reach its goal of discovering lunar water, a team of scientists studied the data obtained from retired NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) …
While the progress made by Voyager 1 space probe has continued to amaze the world, a scientist just proposed a pellet-beam propulsion spacecraft that could easily cover Voyager 1 distance in only five years. Keep in mind that the Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and explored the solar system for nearly 35 years before …

The International Space Station which has been operating in low Earth orbit since 1998 is getting closer to retirement as some of its parts are becoming weak to operate in space. NASA plans to safely retire the ISS by taking it out of its orbit via a controlled disintegration means into the Earth’s atmosphere. The …
NASA previously announced its partnership with Axiom Space in the design of sophisticated spacesuits for its Artemis crewed missions. On Wednesday (March 15), the commercial company revealed a prototype of the commercial spacesuits that Artemis astronauts will wear during future Artemis crewed moon landing missions. Unlike Apollo spacesuits, Axiom Space embedded more futuristic technologies in …
Humanity often makes great progress within a century. As of 1923, humans never believed that we will be able to land the first crew on the lunar surface as a liquid propulsion rocket was yet to be invented at that time. If you check the fascinating progress, we have made on lunar exploration between 1923 …

If we must spread life across the Universe, we need to find out how to send humans outside the solar system to another star system. Alpha Centauri, which is the closest star system to Earth is one of the best first destinations to consider for our first crewed interstellar travel. But why should space agencies …
Sending humans to Mars has remained the primary goal of space agencies like NASA, CNSA, and many others. However, these space agencies need to consider other options for reaching the red planet much faster than traditional chemical rockets. Ad Astra, a Costa Rica and U.S.-based company recently announced that it has completed a record 88-hour …

Statistical models created by ESA’s space debris office revealed that there are more than 36,500 objects larger than 10cm in low earth orbit. These models also revealed that there are about 1 million objects ranging between 1 to 10 cm and about 130 million objects between 1mm to 1cm in low earth orbit. The data …
