Here’s an overview of NASA’s Artemis program changes: Artemis II targets April 2026 after repairs, Artemis III in 2027 becomes an orbital verification with SpaceX and Blue Origin landers and xEVA suits, and the first landing is planned for 2028, with an ambition of annual missions. Find out what changes and why NASA is standardizing SLS and Orion.
Find out when totality begins on March 3, 2026 and why the Moon turns copper-red during a total lunar eclipse. We provide NASA’s timings in UTC, a visibility map (Pacific and the Americas, not Europe), and practical tips for observing and photographing—plus a reminder about the Venus–Saturn conjunction on March 8.
Find out how ESA's mobile laboratory on wheels at ESTEC tests 5G New Radio links with satellites in low orbit, why the Q-band and reliable „handovers“ are key, and what Europe expects from the EuCNC & 6G Summit in Málaga in early June 2026. We also provide background on ESA's Space for 5G/6G & Sustainable Connectivity programme.
Learn how the James Webb Telescope, using the NIRSpec instrument, during 15 hours of observing Uranus, revealed the layers of its ionosphere up to about 5,000 km in altitude, where two auroral bands form and a dark zone appears between them. We explain what an average of 426 K means and why the upper atmosphere has been cooling for decades.
Find out what ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot’s εpsilon mission brings to the ISS: from her role in the Columbus and Kibo laboratories to a series of European experiments on health, climate, and technology. We bring the key facts about the Crew-12 flight and the crew’s work. The crew docked with the station on 14 February 2026, and the stay is planned for up to nine months.
Find out how NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, planned for launch by 2027 and potentially as early as 2026, captures Hubble-level detail over a vast area of the sky and uses gravitational lensing and redshift to search for traces of dark matter and dark energy. We bring an overview of the survey that will cover about 12% of the sky and collect spectra for about 20 million galaxies.
