Mission 360

Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft adjusted its orbit on Friday as it prepared to attempt the first landing near the south pole of the moon, space agency Roscosmos said. It said the adjustment went smoothly and the spacecraft's onboard systems and communications were all functioning normally.

Mission Majnu's official trailer has been unveiled by the makers of the movie on Monday. The spy thriller has Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandana play the lead role. Set in 1970s, the movie shows Sidharth's character as India's only hope to gather information from Pakistan and fail their mission.

Mission Majnu, an upcoming spy thriller film starring Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandana, has dropped the official teaser on Friday. The movie is all set to premiere exclusively on the OTT platform from January 23, 2023.

A team of researchers has produced a new plasma-based method through which the resources available in the Martian environment can be utilised to make oxygen. The method would not only allow astronauts to breathe on the planet during future Mars missions, but could also help make fuel, building materials, and fertilisers there.

According to a recent study conducted by the researchers at the University of California San Diego, Mars' subsurface has little to no evidence of water. The surprising results were derived after studying the seismic data from NASA's Mars InSight mission. The InSight lander studies the subsurface of the red planet digging roughly 300 meters beneath ...

The first of the small satellites to be used in NASA's SunRISE, or Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment, have been completed at Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL). The SDL has been contracted by the American space agency to build, test, and commission all six satellites for the mission to detect and track hazardous explosiv...

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are conducting biology experiments aimed at studying how skin heals in space. The study could benefit both astronauts in space, and human life on Earth. The US space agency's Expedition 67 mission began in March this year and is aimed at conducting research and investigations that will facilitate h...

NASA will send a tiny surgical robot to space for a test mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in 2014. The robot named MIRA or miniaturised in vivo robotic assistant has been in the making for nearly 20 years by the researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Lunar IceCube, NASA's CubeSat that is designed to orbit the moon as part of the US space agency's Artemis mission, is all set to make its way to lunar orbit. The Lunar IceCube satellite has been fitted onto the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and is prepared to travel to the Moon, according to NASA.

NASA's Curiosity rover launched on November 26, 2011, and made its descent on the Martian surface on August 5, 2012. The rover has so far covered 29 kilometres and ascended 625 metres on the Gale crater, where it landed.

Just hours into Lucy's 12-year journey in October 2021, the first-ever Trojan asteroids mission met an unexpected challenge. Data showed that one of Lucy's solar arrays, which is intended to unfold like a hand fan and power the spacecraft's systems, hadn't fully expanded and locked. To troubleshoot the issue, teams from NASA and Lucy mission partne...

NASA's Juno spacecraft has delivered a phenomenal picture of the Jupiter surface. The shot features fascinating vortices or hurricane-like spiral wind patterns forming near Jupiter's north pole. The Juno mission flew past close to Jupiter on July 5 this year. It clicked the striking photo using its JunoCam instrument.

NASA has chosen engineering Draper Labs of Massachusetts for delivering Artemis science investigations to the far side of the moon in 2025. Draper will be using its SERIES-2 lander to carry the load. It has been tasked with end-to-end delivery services that include payload integration, delivery from Earth to the Moon, and payload operations.

Saudi Arabia has signed the Artemis Accords as part of the kingdom’s commitment to safe, sustainable, and responsible space exploration, a move welcomed by the US. The NASA-led Artemis program will put the first woman and first person of colour on the Moon and prepare the way for a human mission to Mars. So far, 21 countries have signed the Artem...

A SpaceX resupply spacecraft has left for the International Space Station (ISS) carrying science experiments that will help carry out climate science research in space. This is SpaceX's 25th commercial resupply services mission to the ISS for NASA. Launched on the Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Cargo Dragon spacecr...
