NASA Needs to Build Gloves and Boots That Can Withstand Frigid Moon Temperatures Spacesuit parts are being tested in a cryogenic ice chamber to see how well they would fare in the lunar south pole. By Passant Rabie Published April 25, 2025 EartherEarth Science Here’s a NASA Satellite...

NASA has been pitching the moon as the next logical step for astronauts for years. The Artemis program aims to send a crew around the moon next year and land astronauts near the moons south pole as early as 2027. Lunar bases are planned this time around, not just quick visits like the ...

Jianli Chen, a senior research scientist at the University of Texas' Center for Space Research, first attributed the pole shift to climate change in 2013 and he said this new study takes his work a step further. "There is nothing to worry about," said Chen, who wasn't part of the NAS...
EZIE is APL’s first mission to image the magnetic fingerprints of the Earth’s auroral electrojets, electrical currents that flow between Earth and space. The mission will star a trio of CubeSats, satellites roughly the size of a small suitcase, designed to move pole to pole and ma...

it’s hard to imagine the space agency probing the universe for answers to pressing questions like, “are we alone?” without the help of a few private startups. The recent MSR shift is a clear indication that things just aren’t the way they used to be, and NASA is having to adjust...
The Atlas 5 program had also become reliant on Russia for engines used to launch NASA and other satellites into space. While the Atlas 5 has been reliable as a launch vehicle; it is somewhat of an antique in the space industry. The Atlas 5 was the launch platform for Mercury missions in...
