NASA contracts Impulse Space for studies on cost effective orbital transfer solutions
Saturday, 09 August 2025 07:42
NASA has chosen Impulse Space to prepare two orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) service studies aimed at identifying more affordable ways to deliver spacecraft to challenging orbital destinations. The work, awarded under NASA's VADR contract through the Launch Services Program, will inform the agency about commercial OTV capabilities for future mission planning.
The studies will examine how Im Perseverance Rover Delivers Most Detailed Mars Panorama Yet
Saturday, 09 August 2025 07:42
NASA's Perseverance rover has produced one of its clearest panoramas to date, revealing a striking view of the Martian landscape from a site known as Falbreen. The mosaic, built from 96 images taken on May 26, 2025, during the rover's 1,516th Martian day, features distant hills up to 40 miles (65 kilometers) away, sand ripples, and the distinct boundary between two geologic units.

In a new release from the European Space Agency, Mars Express has revisited the western end of Acheron Fossae, a striking system of deep fissures on Mars shaped by ancient geological upheaval and later sculpted by ice-rich flows.
The orbiter's High Resolution Stereo Camera first captured this area in April 2004, just months into its mission. These latest images reveal the faulted terrain's Astronaut Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13, dies at 97
