A European research team has developed a system of three robots to autonomously explore lava tunnels on the Moon and Mars, which could serve as protected bases for astronauts. The technology was tested successfully in volcanic caves on Lanzarote, Spain, demonstrating its potential for mapping underground environments. This mission concept aims to shield explorers from radiation and meteorite impacts.

Fifty-eight years after Apollo 8's lunar orbit, Nasa is set to launch Artemis II, a crewed flyby that will take astronauts farther from Earth than ever before. The mission will test key technologies for future lunar landings and mark a step toward a permanent moon base. The crew, currently in quarantine, includes commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen.
