Russian space officials have decided to postpone the liftoff of a Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft in uncrewed mode until next month. That decision was made due to an “emergency situation” involving a February 11th situation that cropped up with the Progress MS-21 supply ship now docked to the International Space Station (ISS). Roscosmos chief, Yuri Borisov, […]
For the past week or so, the public has been witness to an aerial assault of sorts, flying objects that are, for the most part, tagged as unidentified, take on different shapes and sizes, are shot down with recovered pieces being studied, even “back engineered” to cough up the goods as to where they […]
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover at Gale Crater is now performing Sol 3740 duties. Rover investigators are working through the best strategy for new drilling – that’s the report from Abigail Fraeman, a planetary geologist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Researchers are collecting additional contact science and remote sensing data from around the future Dinira […]
Former cosmonaut Sergey Krikalev has addressed the situation with the compromised Progress MS-21 on the International Space Station – described as a coolant leak from the thermal control on the cargo ship. Progress MS-21 has been docked to the station for several months, launched from Baikonur on October 26 atop a Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket. According […]

China’s Shenzhou-15 space station crew has completed a set of what the country’s space officials tagged as “unprecedented” space walks outside their Tiangong orbiting complex. Astronauts Fei Junlong and Zhang Lu performed extravehicular activities for about seven hours, exited the station’s Wentian module via an airlock cabin. Fei changed his position with the help of […]
And here we thought that the dust on the Moon was a nuisance for future lunar expeditions. It still is, but Moon dust launched from the lunar surface — or from a space station positioned between Earth and the Sun — could reduce enough solar radiation to mitigate the impacts of climate change. That’s the […]
Russia’s pilotless Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft is being prepared for its upcoming launch at Baikonur. Refueling of the ship with fuel and compressed gases is being wrapped up, with liftoff of the “rescue” craft atop a Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket set for February 20 at 04:57:53 Moscow time. According to a Roscosmos Telegram posting, the Soyuz has […]
