NASA's Perseverance Rover Captures One Dust Devil Devouring Another
- Monday April 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover's navigation camera captured a Martian dust devil swallowing a smaller one. The smaller dust devil's demise was captured during an imaging experiment carried out by Perseverance's science team to better understand the dynamics at work in the Martian atmosphere. In the 1970s, NASA's Viking orbiters became the first spa...

Artemis II Orion Service Module Secured for Launch at Kennedy Space Center
- Saturday March 29, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft is a step closer to its mission around the Moon. Three spacecraft adapter jettison fairings have been installed on its service module at Kennedy Space Center. These panels will protect the solar arrays from heat, wind, and acoustic forces during launch. Once in space, they will detach, allowing the arrays to dep...

Pulsar Fusion’s Nuclear Fusion Rockets May Revolutionise Space Travel
- Wednesday March 26, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
UK-based Pulsar Fusion has revealed plans for Sunbird, a nuclear fusion-powered rocket that could change space exploration. The company says this technology could reduce travel time to Mars and beyond by half. Sunbirds will act as space tugs, attaching to spacecraft in orbit and propelling them further. Initial tests will be conducted in vacuum cha...

NASA Tracks GNSS Signals on Moon, Advancing Lunar Navigation Technology
- Monday March 10, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA and the Italian Space Agency made history by successfully tracking GNSS signals on the Moon through the LuGRE experiment. The technology could revolutionise lunar navigation, aiding missions like Artemis. LuGRE had earlier set records for GNSS signal acquisition in deep space, reaching lunar orbit before its final touchdown. The data collected...

New Research Reveals Mars’ Red Colour Linked to Ancient Water Presence
- Monday March 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A recent study suggests that Mars’ red hue originates from ferrihydrite, an iron oxide that forms in water-rich environments. Scientists recreated Martian dust in labs and found that the mineral remained stable despite the planet’s dry conditions. Data from orbiting spacecraft and rovers confirm this discovery, reshaping theories about Mars’ ...

NASA's Dawn Mission Unveils Insights into Vesta’s Mysterious Gullies Using Lab Simulations
- Tuesday December 24, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Dawn mission to the asteroid Vesta revealed mysterious gullies on its surface. New lab experiments, simulating Vesta's harsh vacuum conditions, suggest that liquid water, possibly briny, could have flowed briefly and carved these channels. These findings challenge existing theories about liquid stability on airless bodies and provide insig...
