NASA Concludes NEOWISE Mission After Successful Asteroid Detections
NASA has officially decommissioned the NEOWISE mission, a key component of its planetary defense strategy. Over its more than 10-year lifespan, NEOWISE exceeded its objectives by detecting thousands of asteroids and comets, including many near-Earth objects that could potentially pose a threat to our planet. The infrared data collected by the space...
