Scientists at the University of Kentucky have developed a technique called Alternating Magnetic Field Forces (AMFF) that allows satellites to communicate and adjust positions using magnetic fields without interfering with others. This method aims to extend mission lifespans by replacing limited propellant fuel with renewable solar power. Tests on Earth demonstrated successful control of three satellites at precise distances.

Researchers have mapped an ancient coastline on Mars, revealing a vast ocean comparable to Earth's Arctic Ocean that existed billions of years ago. Using data from orbiting spacecraft, the team identified geological features suggesting long-lasting surface water in the planet's largest canyon. This discovery provides the strongest evidence yet for Mars's watery past.

The government of Javier Milei has confirmed that Argentina will join NASA's Artemis II lunar mission through the Atenea microsatellite, a national development to be deployed in deep space.

NASA가 국제우주정거장(ISS)에서 첫 의료 대피를 시작해, 한 승무원의 심각하지만 공개되지 않은 건강 문제로 4명의 우주인을 조기 지구 귀환시켰다. 미국인 2명, 일본 우주인 1명, 러시아 우주비행사 1명으로 구성된 팀은 예정보다 한 달 이상 앞당겨 태평양에 착수했다. 이 조치는 지상 의료 치료를 우선하고 우주인의 안정을 보장한다.
