NASA has identified a 728‑foot crater on the Moon that resulted from an impact in 2024, an event that was not observed by Earth‑based or orbital instruments.
A historical 1947 space experiment involving fruit flies served as a foundational milestone for NASA's ongoing research into human immunity and spaceflight health impacts. This early initiative demonstrated how biological organisms respond to extraterrestrial conditions, paving the way for modern aerospace medicine.
NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope is poised to be the most powerful instrument for searching for signs of life beyond Earth, offering unprecedented sensitivity to exoplanet atmospheres and potential biosignatures.
The article examines the possibility of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) joining NASA's planned lunar exploration initiatives, outlining potential collaboration opportunities, benefits, and challenges for both agencies. It also considers how ISRO's expertise could complement NASA's moonshot goals.

India's space agency ISRO successfully launched the GSLV-F17 rocket, deploying the EOS-05 Earth observation satellite into geosynchronous orbit. The mission marks another milestone in ISRO's satellite deployment capabilities. The satellite is designed for Earth observation purposes, including monitoring and data collection.
India's space agency ISRO launched the GSLV-F17 rocket carrying the EOS-05 satellite from Sriharikota, marking the country's first imaging satellite placed in geosynchronous orbit. The pre-dawn mission achieved a successful lift-off, advancing India's satellite imaging capabilities. The satellite is designed to provide continuous monitoring of Earth's surface from a fixed position in orbit.

A new protective garment called the AstroRad vest is designed to provide astronauts with a lighter shielding option against hazardous solar storms during space missions. This development aims to improve personal safety and mobility for crews operating outside Earth's protective magnetic field.

A former head of India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has inaugurated a new facility focused on aerospace and defence technologies. The facility aims to advance research and development in critical areas for national security and technological self-reliance.

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot completed the sixth all-female spacewalk on September 1, 2026. During the nearly seven-hour mission outside the International Space Station, the two astronauts successfully replaced critical equipment. Their backgrounds in marine biology, aerospace engineering, and test piloting illustrate the varied professional trajectories required for modern space missions.
NASA's upcoming Roman Space Telescope is designed to investigate several major astrophysical phenomena. The mission will focus on gathering data related to dark energy, detecting exoplanets outside our solar system, and studying black holes.
