Athena landed in a dark crater where the temperature was minus 280 F

Athena's lunar landing failure was due to a malfunctioning altimeter, causing it to crash and slide on the Moon's surface.

Solar panel obstruction from regolith hampered power reserves, threatening the spacecraft's survival.

Yes, we are about to be treated to a second lunar landing in a week

Intuitive Machines prepares for a critical second landing attempt with valuable onboard experiments and significant system improvements.

Parker Solar Probe to make a Christmas Eve skim of the Sun

NASA's Parker Solar Probe will approach the Sun on Christmas Eve, making history by flying closer than any previous human-made object.

The probe's heat shield allows it to withstand extreme temperatures while studying the solar corona.

NASA will proceed with final preps to launch Europa Clipper next month

NASA's Europa Clipper mission will proceed as scheduled after testing confirmed transistors can withstand Jupiter's radiation.
