NASA Europa Clipper Advances Toward Jupiter’s Moon, Instruments Successfully Deployed
NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft, launched in October 2024, is journeying toward Jupiter’s moon Europa to study its icy surface and hidden ocean. Currently over 13 million miles from Earth, the spacecraft has successfully deployed its solar arrays, magnetometer boom, and radar antennas. It will use a gravity assist from Mars in March 2025 to ad...

SpaceX’s Dragon to Reboost ISS for First Time, Paving Way for Future Deorbit Mission
SpaceX’s Dragon is set to perform its first reboost of the International Space Station (ISS) on Nov. 8. This mission, conducted in partnership with NASA, is a step towards a future in which a larger Dragon spacecraft will play a crucial role in safely deorbiting the ISS when its mission concludes around 2030. Currently, reboosts are generally man...

Mangalyaan successfully cruising towards Mars as it leaves Earth's orbit
India's maiden spacecraft to Mars has left the Earth's gravity to enter into the Sun's orbit on its way to the 10-month-long journey to the 'Red Planet'. In a late night manoeuvre where the Mangalyaan's on-board motor was fired for 23 minutes, the spacecraft was given a final extra kick through a sling shot mechanism as it began its over-750 millio...
