NASAの火星探査車パーサヴィアランスが、ジェゼロ・クレーターの西側を探索中に新たな自撮り写真を送信した。
この探査車は3月11日、アラサ（Arathusa）と呼ばれる岩場を調査中に、ミッション開始以来6枚目となる自撮り写真を撮影した。ロボットアームに取り付けられたカメラで撮影された61枚の写真を合成したその画像には、ラク・ド・シャルム（Lac de Charmes）地域の地形が写し出されており、NASAはこの場所を、これまでに訪れた中で最も科学的に興味深い場所の一つであると説明している。

Astronauts aboard NASA's Artemis II mission captured striking images of the Moon and Earth using iPhone 17 Pro Max smartphones during their recent lunar flyby. The crew, including Commander Reid Wiseman and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen, also employed Nikon cameras for high-resolution shots now being released by NASA. The mission, which launched on April 1, reached a record distance from Earth and is set to splash down off California this week.

NASA engineers resolved an unexpected problem with the Curiosity rover when its drill became stuck on a rock on Mars. The incident marked the first time the agency faced this specific issue. It took nearly a week to free the tool.
NASA's Artemis II crew, aboard the Orion spacecraft named Integrity, has successfully departed Earth's orbit and is heading toward the Moon after a key engine burn. The astronauts reported no major issues, shared stunning photos of Earth, and spoke with family and media. The mission remains on track for a closest approach to the Moon on Monday and splashdown on April 10.

Four astronauts aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft Integrity conducted a close flyby of the Moon's far side on April 6, marking humanity's first in-person look in over 50 years. The crew came within 4,000 miles of the surface, streaming low-resolution video due to communication constraints. High-resolution footage will follow after the mission.
Four astronauts are heading to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. The crew launched at 18:35 local time from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard the Orion capsule atop the Space Launch System. The mission builds on Artemis 1 and sets milestones for women and non-white astronauts.

NASA has completed initial evaluations of the Artemis II mission systems following the crew's safe return from a lunar flyby earlier this month. The Orion spacecraft and SLS rocket performed as expected, setting a new record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth. Minor issues arose with the toilet system, but the crew resolved them successfully.
