NASA and ISRO Join Forces for NISAR Satellite Launch in 2025 to Track Earth’s Changing Surface
The NISAR satellite, a joint NASA-ISRO Earth observation mission launching in 2025, will provide precise data on shifts in Earth’s surface, focusing on high-risk areas. Using advanced radar technology, the satellite aims to support natural disaster response and infrastructure monitoring by tracking subtle movements in regions prone to earthquakes...

NISAR Mission 2025: NASA and ISRO Join Forces to Monitor Earth's Ecosystems and Surface Changes
The NISAR Mission 2025, a joint effort between NASA and ISRO, aims to observe Earth's surface, ecosystems, and track environmental changes. The satellite will use cutting-edge radar technology to collect data on biomass, natural disasters, and sea-level rise. Scheduled to launch in 2025, NISAR will be a vital tool for global climate and ecosystem m...

ESA Astronaut Candidates for Artemis II Lunar Mission Announced: All Details
The European Space Agency on Wednesday announced the names of seven astronauts that would be trained by the agency to embark on NASA's Artemis II moon mission. Astronauts from France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, and the UK will train for the US space agency's upcoming 'Lunar Gateway' orbiting module, and three astronauts will be selected for the missi...

Darkest Regions of the Moon Explored Using Machine Learning Ahead of NASA’s Artemis Mission
A team of researchers have developed a method to help explore the darkest areas of the Moon that never receive sunlight. These are some of the coldest locations on the Earth's only natural satellite, and could contain ice which could be useful for future space missions. Researchers used a deep learning-driven post-processing tool and produced high-...

Asteroid Polymele May Have Its Own Natural Satellite, Say Astronomers on NASA's Lucy Mission
On its way to the space rocks Trojans, NASA's Lucy probe observed its smallest asteroid target named Polymele, which was expected to pass in front of a star. As the asteroid passed, it blocked the star briefly allowing astronomers to observe the star blink along with another object. Located some 200km from Polymele, astronomers think that is likely...

NASA’s Satellite Imagery Shows Antarctic Ice Shelf Crumbling Faster Than Imagined
NASA’s recent study led by researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has revealed that Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice. This raises new concern about how fast climate change is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea...
