SpaceX Plans To Develop 'Marslink' Network To Provide Internet On Mars
SpaceX has introduced a Marslink concept, a satellite-based communication network around Mars, to support interplanetary data exchange for future Mars missions. NASA reviewed this and other proposals, including Blue Origin's Blue Ring orbital tug and Lockheed Martin's MAVEN-based network. The Marslink network would build on SpaceX’s Starlink tech...

NASA’s Chandra Telescope Observes Mysterious 'Knots' Blasting from Nearby Black Hole Jets
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has unveiled mysterious "knots" in the jet of a supermassive black hole in Centaurus A, a nearby galaxy. These bright, fast-moving features exhibit a higher speed in X-rays than in radio wavelengths, hinting at unexplored physics in black hole jets. Despite financial uncertainties surrounding Chandra's operations,...

NASA Engineers Restore Voyager 1 Communications After 15 Billion-Mile Transmission Disruption
NASA successfully reconnected with Voyager 1 after an unexpected communication disruption caused by a shutdown of the spacecraft’s primary transmitter. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California pinpointed the cause as Voyager’s fault protection system, which manages power by shutting down non-essential systems. With a second...

NASA Study Suggests Microbial Life May Thrive Beneath Martian Ice
NASA's study explores how Martian ice could harbour life by creating meltwater pockets beneath the surface that allow photosynthesis. Dust within the ice might absorb sunlight, warming it enough to create these pockets. The findings highlight the possibility of microbial life in Mars’ tropical regions, where sunlight may penetrate deep into the i...

NASA BioSentinel Investigates Space Radiation During Major Geomagnetic Storm on Earth
In May 2024, Earth experienced a magnificent geomagnetic storm, leading to dazzling auroras across the skies. During this event, NASA’s BioSentinel spacecraft collected essential data on solar radiation while orbiting the Sun over 30 million miles away. This research is vital for understanding the effects of radiation in deep space, especially as...

NASA and South Korea to Conduct Joint Space Mission to Explore Deep Space
NASA and the newly formed Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) have signed an agreement to deepen cooperation in space exploration. Their upcoming mission will focus on exploring Lagrange Point 4, a gravitationally stable region in deep space that remains unexplored. This mission aims to advance our understanding of space radiation and the solar w...

Mysterious Radio Signals from Deep Space Reportedly Reached Earth After Eight Billion Years
Astronomers recently detected an extraordinary event – a deep space radio signal that took 8 billion years to reach Earth. The radio burst, named FRB 20220610A, is one of the most powerful and distant signals ever captured. Fast radio bursts (FRBs) like this are brief but incredibly strong, leaving scientists questioning their origins.

Mars Loses Water Faster When Closer to the Sun, New Hubble and MAVEN Study Shows
Mars loses water faster when it is closest to the Sun, according to new data from the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission. The rate of hydrogen loss in Mars' atmosphere increases significantly during perihelion, the point in its orbit closest to the Sun. This seasonal change has major implicati...
