NASA Investigates Ingenuity’s Last Flight, Explains Why it Crashed on its 72nd Flight
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, initially planned for five flights, completed 72 missions, ending its journey on January 18, 2024. Its final flight encountered navigation challenges over Jezero Crater's featureless terrain, leading to rotor blade damage. Despite being grounded, Ingenuity continues contributing data to Mars research. NASA is now...

NASA Develops Robotic Technologies for Autonomous Exploration of Ocean Worlds
NASA is advancing robotic exploration technologies through OWLAT and OceanWATERS, systems designed to prepare landers for exploration on ocean worlds like Europa and Enceladus. OWLAT, developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), simulates lander operations on low-gravity, icy surfaces, while OceanWATERS provides a virtual environment replicati...

Time Moves Faster on The Moon Than on Earth, Claims New Study
A 56-microsecond daily time drift between Earth and the Moon, caused by relativity, presents unique challenges for future lunar missions. Scientists are devising a standard lunar time system to ensure navigation accuracy and mission safety, particularly as NASA’s Artemis programme expands human and robotic activity on the Moon. This groundwork is...
