NASA cancels Lunar Gateway to prioritize $20B moon base under Ignition plan

25 मार्च 2026 AI द्वारा रिपोर्ट किया गया AI द्वारा उत्पन्न छवि

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced the Ignition initiative on March 24, canceling the Lunar Gateway orbiting station to focus on a $20 billion three-phase moon base on the lunar surface. The shift, echoing Trump administration budget proposals, supports frequent Artemis crewed landings amid competition from China and preparations for the first crewed Artemis mission with a launch window opening April 1.

Mars dust storms loft water vapor high into atmosphere

Scientists have found that localized dust storms on Mars can drive water vapor into the upper atmosphere, where it breaks apart and escapes into space. The discovery, based on observations from multiple Mars orbiters, challenges prior assumptions about when and how the planet loses water. Researchers link the effect to an intense regional storm during the Northern Hemisphere summer.

NASA repurposes lunar module for nuclear Mars mission

25 मार्च 2026 AI द्वारा रिपोर्ट किया गया

NASA announced on Tuesday that it will pause development of the Gateway lunar space station and repurpose its Power and Propulsion Element for SR-1 Freedom, a nuclear-electric propulsion demonstration mission to Mars launching before the end of 2028. The spacecraft will carry Skyfall helicopters to scout subsurface water ice and landing sites. Officials described the move as leveraging existing hardware to prove nuclear power in deep space.

NASA's DART mission reveals asteroid material exchange

Images from NASA's DART mission have provided the first direct visual evidence that asteroids in binary systems exchange material through slow-moving debris. Faint streaks on the asteroid moon Dimorphos suggest debris from its parent asteroid Didymos landed there, driven by sunlight-induced spin. This discovery highlights the dynamic nature of near-Earth asteroids.

NASA sets Artemis II moon flyby for April launch

07 मार्च 2026 AI द्वारा रिपोर्ट किया गया

NASA has rescheduled the Artemis II mission, the first crewed trip to the moon since 1972, for an April liftoff from Florida. The 10-day flight will carry four astronauts on a lunar flyby without landing, testing key systems for future missions. Commander Reid Wiseman leads the crew, which includes the first Canadian astronaut to venture to the moon.

NASA study shows ancient life could endure in Martian ice

A new NASA study indicates that traces of ancient life on Mars could survive for over 50 million years in pure ice, protected from cosmic radiation. Researchers recommend future missions focus on drilling into clean ice deposits rather than rocks or soil. The findings, based on lab simulations, highlight pure ice as a potential preserve for organic material.
