Canceled due to a shift in NASA's priorities, which favored crewed space missions instead. [55] The probe would have confirmed the potential existence of a subsurface ocean beneath Europa's surface, with Ganymede and Callisto also being targeted for exploration. 14 Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter: Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter: 2020 N/A JAXA ...
The second batch of images revealing the contact binary, shared by NASA on Tuesday, were taken six minutes later from 1,010 miles (about 1,630 kilometers) away.
This mission plan was to orbit an asteroid, at the time named 1999 RQ 36 (now 101955 Bennu), by 2020. After extensive measurements, the spacecraft collected a sample from the asteroid's surface for return to Earth in 2023. The mission, minus the cost of the launch vehicle ($183.5 million), is expected to cost approximately $800 million.
NASA’s Perseverance rover took this selfie, made up of 62 individual images, on July 23. A rock nicknamed “Cheyava Falls,” which has features that may offer clues about whether Mars was once ...
NASA said Wednesday it's canceling its water-seeking moon rover, citing cost overruns and launch delays. The Viper rover was supposed to launch in late 2023 aboard a lander provided by Astrobotic ...
As of the early mission concepts outlined by NASA in May 2020 and refined by the HLS contract award in July 2021, the primary Earth-launch vehicles planned to support the Artemis program will include the NASA Space Launch System for the Orion vehicle, the Falcon Heavy for various components of the Lunar Gateway, [146] and the Starship HLS ...
Lunar Trailblazer is a planned small (class D) lunar orbiter, part of NASA's SIMPLEx program, that will detect and map water on the lunar surface to determine how its form, abundance, and location relate to geology. [3]
NASA will crash a spacecraft into an asteroid for the first time ever as part of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), a planetary defense mission. NASA's latest mission will nudge an asteroid.
