In a significant milestone for space exploration, a private lander accomplished the first U.S. touchdown on the moon in over five decades.
Intuitive Machines, the company responsible for building and managing the lander, confirmed its successful upright landing. However, initial communication with the lander was weak, which prompted flight controllers to make efforts to establish better contact. Crucial details, such as whether the lander reached its intended destination near the moon’s south pole, were not immediately provided. The company concluded its live webcast shortly after a lone, weak signal from the lander was detected.
Late on Friday afternoon, officials revealed that the lander had tipped over but was still functional.
Despite the tension that built in the company’s Houston control center when communication issues persisted, mission director Tim Crain assured, “What we can confirm, without a doubt, is our equipment is on the surface of the moon.

Astronaut Frank Borman, the commander of the historic Apollo 8 Christmas 1968 mission, which orbited the moon 10 times and paved the way for the subsequent lunar landing, passed away at the age of 95. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reported that he died in Billings, Montana, on November 7. After concluding his time in the astronaut corps, Borman led Eastern Airlines during the tumultuous period of the 1970s and early ‘80s, according to NASA. However, he is most renowned for his contributions to NASA. Alongside his crewmates James Lovell and William Anders, Borman played a pivotal role in the first Apollo mission to reach the moon, providing humanity with the first-ever view of Earth as a distant sphere in space. “Today, we remember one of NASA’s best. Astronaut Frank Borman was a true American hero,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement on November 9. “His lifelong love for aviation and...

Washington, Aug 15 (Ians) The US space agency has confirmed that July was the hottest month on record ever since 1880, as heatwaves and wildfires hit the cities in the US and Europe.
According to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (Giss) in New York, July 2023 was hotter than any other month in the global temperature record.
Overall, July 2023 was 0.24 degrees Celsius warmer than any other July in NASA’s record, and it was 1.18 degrees Celsius warmer than the average July between 1951 and 1980.
High sea surface temperatures contributed to July’s record warmth. NASA’s analysis shows especially warm ocean temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific, evidence of the El Nino that began developing in May 2023.
“NASA data confirms what billions around the world literally felt: temperatures in July 2023 made it the hottest month on record. In every corner of the country, Americans are right now experiencing firsthand the effects of the climate crisis,...

New Delhi, July 14 (Ians) The US space agency NASA and European Space agency (Esa) on Friday lauded India’s Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft that was successfully launched on a historic mission to the far side of the moon.
The Lvm-3, the country’s heavy rocket, nicknamed ‘Bahubali’ carried the 3.8-tonne Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft and put the moon spacecraft into orbit on Friday afternoon.
The mission is a follow up of the failed Chandrayaan-2 mission in 2019 when the lander named Vikram crashed on to the moon surface.
“Congratulations to Isro on the Chandrayaan-3 launch, wishing you safe travels to the Moon. We look forward to the scientific results to come from the mission, including NASA’s laser retroreflector array. India is demonstrating leadership on #ArtemisAccords!” Bill Nelson, NASA administrator on Twitter.

Washington, July 14 (Ians) The Earth recorded its hottest time ever in June 2023, according to climate analyses by US space agency NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Friday.
The average global temperature in June 2023 broke the previous record of June 2020. However, the margin was not substantial (0.13 of a degree Celsius).
The average global surface (land and ocean) temperature in June was 1.05 degrees Celsius above average, ranking June 2023 as Earth’s warmest June on record.
June 2023 also marked the 47th-consecutive June and the 532nd-consecutive month with temperatures above the 20th-century average.
The Noaa analysis showed that 2023 is about 100 per cent likely to rank among the 10-warmest years on record and a 97 per cent chance it will rank among the top five.
“NASA data shows last month was the hottest June on record-ever. We saw the effects firsthand: poor air quality, heat-related deaths and extreme weather,” Bill Nelson, NASA administrator wrote on Twitter.

NASA announced that it has awarded Jeff Bezos’ space exploration company, Blue Origin, $3.4 billion to develop spacecraft for Artemis V, the 2029 mission scheduled to land astronauts on the moon’s surface and aid in the preparations for future astronaut missions to Mars.
Blue Origin is the latest company to join NASA’s lunar lander program, competing with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which was the first to be awarded a lunar lander contract in 2021 to develop a spacecraft for NASA’s Artemis III and IV Moon landing mission. Artemis III is scheduled for launch as early as December 2025.

Washington, May 22 (Ians) American private space habitat company Axiom Space’s has successfully launched its second mission to the International Space Station (Iss) with the first woman from Saudi Arabia.
The Axiom Mission 2 (Ax-2) lifted off at 5:37 p.m. Edt on Sunday (3:07 a.m. Monday Ist) from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
The Ax-2 mission is the first commercial human spaceflight mission to include both private astronauts and astronauts representing foreign governments, as well as the first private mission commanded by a female.
Axiom Space’s Director of Human Spaceflight Peggy Whitson, a former NASA astronaut and Iss commander, will lead the mission, and aviator John Shoffner will serve as pilot.
The two mission specialists are Ali Alqarni and Rayyanah Barnawi from Saudi Arabia.
“Congratulations to Axiom, SpaceX, and the Axiom Mission 2 crew on a successful launch!

Washington, May 19 (Ians) In some tough competition to Elon Musk-run SpaceX, the US space agency on Friday selected Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin to develop a human landing system for the agency’s Artemis V mission to the Moon.
The NASA award is worth $3.4 billion, and Blue Origin said it’s contributing “well north” of that figure on its own. The Blue Origin-led effort is a more than $7 billion project.
Blue Origin’s national team partners include Lockheed Martin, Draper, Boeing, Astrobotic, and Honeybee Robotics.
“Honored to be on this journey with @NASA to land astronauts on the Moon a” this time to stay. Together, we’ll be solving the boil-off problem and making Lox-LH2 a storable propellant combination, pushing forward the state of the art for all deep space missions”, Bezos tweeted.

Los Angeles, April 20 (Ians) SpaceX’s giant Starship rocket exploded after its launch from the US state of Texas on Thursday. The rocket got off the launch pad in SpaceX’s Starbase in South Texas but exploded minutes later. The spacecraft failed to reach orbit.
The launch was the first test flight of SpaceX’s fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket, Xinhua news agency reported.
Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly before stage separation, according to SpaceX.
“Today’s test will help us improve Starship’s reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multi-planetary,” the company tweeted.
Teams will continue to review data and work toward the next flight test, said SpaceX.
“Learnt a lot for next test launch in a few months,” Elon Musk, founder, CEO and Chief Engineer of SpaceX, tweeted.

Washington, April 8 (Ians) The US space agency on Saturday launched a powerful new instrument into space to track air pollution, which would provide unprecedented resolution of monitoring major air pollutants.
The Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (Tempo) instrument will improve life on Earth by revolutionising the way scientists observe air quality from space.
“The Tempo mission is about more than just studying pollution — it’s about improving life on Earth for all. By monitoring the effects of everything from rush-hour traffic to pollution from forest fires and volcanoes, NASA data will help improve air quality across North America and protect our planet,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
NASA’s Tempo launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
From a fixed geostationary orbit above the equator, Tempo will be the first space-based instrument to measure air quality over North America hourly during the daytime...
