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.
Scientists from the University of Basel, ETH Zurich, and the European Space Agency have tested a quadrupedal robot equipped with a robotic arm to explore planetary surfaces more efficiently. The robot navigated rocky terrain autonomously, identifying targets and collecting data faster than traditional human-guided methods. The findings, published this week, suggest it could accelerate resource prospecting and searches for signs of life on the moon and Mars.

Американское космическое агентство NASA сегодня приступает к реализации миссии Artemis II, в рамках которой астронавты впервые за более чем 50 лет отправятся на орбиту Луны. Четверо астронавтов из США и Канады совершат испытательный полет, который продлится около десяти дней. Германия через Европейское космическое агентство предоставляет ключевой европейский служебный модуль для космического корабля Orion.
Researchers have observed a dramatic buildup of ozone inside Mars' north polar vortex, where extreme cold and darkness freeze out water vapor. This phenomenon, detected using data from ESA and NASA orbiters, offers insights into the planet's ancient atmospheric chemistry and potential habitability. The findings were presented at a joint meeting in Helsinki.

European Space Agency's Mars orbiters have observed the third known interstellar comet, 3I/ATLAS, as it passed near the Red Planet. The faint visitor, discovered in July 2025, revealed a glowing coma in images taken from about 30 million kilometers away. Researchers are analyzing the data to uncover its composition and origins.
