The case for the detection of a potential biosignature on Mars will be made today during this week’s Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. Since its landing in February 2021, the Perseverance rover has explored and sampled igneous and sedimentary rocks in Jezero Crater. Its mission is to characterize early Martian geological processes and habitability […]
That NASA/Caltech Lunar Trailblazer spacecraft deployed February 26 is officially a no-go for its intended mission of looking for water-ice on the Moon.

The ongoing human attack on Earth’s atmosphere is resulting in climate change according to a majority of the scientific community. That alteration, in part, involves increasing greenhouse gas emissions. A new study by researchers report that this change will reduce the atmosphere’s ability to “burn up” space clutter. MIT aerospace engineers have found that greenhouse […]
The latest lander to touch down on the Moon is the Intuitive Machine IM-2 mission, called Athena.
