As part of our never-ending search for alien life (and, well, knowledge about space), NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been orbiting the moon since it was launched on June 18, 2009. According to NASA, “LRO’s primary goal was to make a 3D map of the moon’s surface from lunar polar orbit as part of […]
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and the Korea Aerospace Research Institute's Danuri lunar orbiter crossed paths recently, and the former managed to snap a photo of the latter zipping past it at the relative velocity of 7,200 miles per hour. [Read More]
NASA's Artemis will have another historic member of its crew with a Japanese astronaut coming to the Moon.
NASA's lunar orbit was investigating the moon when it captured a surf board-shaped UFO whizz by the surface. Photos showed a long, narrow, and apparently flat object in a few shots.
Three companies are vying for the opportunity to send their own lunar vehicle to the moon to support NASA’s upcoming Artemis missions. The space agency announced this week that it’s chosen Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost and Venturi Astrolab to develop their lunar terrain vehicles (LTV) in a feasibility study over the next year. After that, only one is expected to be selected for a demonstration mission, in which the vehicle will be completed and sent to the moon for performance and safety...
Above is an image taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LOR) of a "mystery" surfboard-shaped object orbiting the Moon. Quashing the conspiracy theories, NASA has identified the UFO. In fact, from their perspective, it never was unidentified. The object is Danuri, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute's lunar orbiter. — Read the rest
The Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO), otherwise known as Danuri, photobomed NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
China is planning a permanently-manned base on the Moon (Picture: Getty) Nasa has warned that China may attempt to take over parts of the Moon within just a few years. The space agency’s administrator Bill Nelson said he fears the country’s civilian programmes launched in the name of science could actually be secret military operations. Speaking before a House Appropriations Committee to argue why Nasa needed a $25.4 billion budget for 2025, Mr Nelson said: ‘China has made extraordinary...
In this image from Feb. 12, 2024, engineers lift a mast into place on NASA's VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover) robotic moon rover. VIPER's mast and the suite of instruments affixed to it look a lot like the rover's "neck" and "head." The mast instruments are designed to help the team of rover drivers and real-time scientists send commands and receive data while the rover navigates around hazardous crater slopes, boulders, and places that risk communications blackouts.
NASA has confirmed its Dragonfly rotorcraft mission to Saturn's organic-rich moon Titan. The decision allows the mission to progress to the completion of the final design, followed by the construction and testing of the entire spacecraft and science instruments.
A Russian satellite was just metres from hitting a Nasa counterpart in a “shocking” near-miss that could have put lives at risk, the US space agency has claimed.
