Washington DC (SPX) Oct 30, 2024
On Oct. 24, NASA reconnected with the Voyager 1 spacecraft after a brief pause in communications. The spacecraft recently turned off one of its two radio transmitters, and the team is now working to determine what caused the issue.
The transmitter shut-off seems to have been prompted by the spacecraft's fault protection system, which autonomously responds to onboard issues. For example, if

Three Chinese astronauts including the country's only woman spaceflight engineer blasted off on a "dream" mission to the Tiangong space station in the early hours of Wednesday.
The new Tiangong team will carry out experiments with an eye to the space programme's ambitious goal of placing astronauts on the Moon by 2030 and eventually constructing a lunar base.

NASA said on Tuesday that it will restart its Mentor-Protégé Program for contractors on Friday to expand commercial markets with eligible small businesses.
The program seeks to expand inclusivity including AbilityOne, historically Black colleges and universities, and minority serving institutions to foster a more-diverse environment to collaborate with NASA.

NASA's Perseverance rover is navigating a challenging climb up Jezero Crater's western slope, aiming to reach the rim by early December. During the ascent, the rover captured a panoramic view of Jezero's interior along with images of its own tracks, left as its wheels encountered slippage on the slope.

Researchers have discovered what may be a long-hidden record of ancient impact craters on Venus, shedding light on a planetary history distinct from Earth's. Unlike Earth, where wind, water, and tectonic shifts obscure impact sites, Venus shows fewer such processes, leaving some of the Solar System's most pristine craters. However, the planet still lacks the giant impact basins seen on the Moon
