NASA announces new lander contracts for Moon Base Phase One
On 1st July 2026, new findings from the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) were published. They shed light on the far future of planetary systems like our own. A Sun-like star that lived out its life became a red giant and then shed its outer layers, leaving a hot, dense core called a white dwarf….
Image: NASA For decades, lunar exploration was defined by astronauts, rovers, and orbiters. But as NASA pushes deeper into the Artemis era, a new class of robotic explorer is quietly emerging, one that could significantly change how humanity navigates the Moon: small autonomous hopping drones. Called MoonFall, the concept is being developed by NASA’s Jet…

Introduction: In this article, I’ll delve into a fascinating and crucial subject: the potential of space missions to mitigate the looming threat of asteroid collisions with Earth. As our understanding of the cosmos deepens, so does our awareness of the potential risks posed by near-Earth objects. The notion of an asteroid impact conjures images…
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force has placed into operational service a new mobile satellite-jamming system capable of temporarily disrupting an adversary’s communications. The electronic warfare system, known as Meadowlands and built by L3Harris Technologies, uses radio-frequency signals to interfere with an adversary satellite’s ability to transmit information. Unlike anti-satellite weapons designed to physically destroy…
