Bangalore-based startup GalaxEye is developing hybrid Earth observation satellites with multi-spectral optical imaging plus synthetic aperture radar (SAR) capabilities, with the first launch targeted ...

As we wrap up an insanely happening 12 months in Moon exploration worldwide, I present to you a huge, curated linked list of lunar technology and science developments across 2024, organized by country ...

As a former science officer at TeamIndus, I selected landing sites for their Moon missions, identified science objectives, and converted them to engineering requirements. Here are notable works I was ...

Why such a weird but hopefully funny headline, I hear you ask. Because I write for you, not social media or SEO. 🌝 These will help scientists explain why the Moon’s farside was far less volcanically ...

Seen here are two volcanic domes which are unlike most other volcanic places on the Moon. The unique volcanic domes of Gruithuisen—Gamma and Delta. Credit: NASA LRO Until a couple of billion years ago ...

How will ISRO go from Chandrayaan 3 to an Indian on the Moon? Clarifying and laying down India’s plans for increasingly complex robotic lunar missions, where human spaceflight comes in, and what ...

Indian Space Progress #10: ISRO aces safety test for human spaceflight while school students to learn about Chandrayaan 3 mixed with mythology I’m stoked to welcome KaleidEO as the third organization ...

To piece together this story, I spoke to experts from JAXA, NASA, and ISRO. When Japan’s solar-powered SLIM lander made a lopsided-but-successful touchdown on the Moon on January 19, most news ...

The most plausible scenario for the formation of the crater chain is impact by a comet or an asteroid. Comets and asteroid are weakly held together by their minuscule gravity, and can be ripped apart ...

Seen here is the 77 kilometers wide King crater on the Moon’s farside, formed as a result of a large asteroid-sized body colliding with the Moon. King crater and its Y-shaped mountains on the Moon’s ...

Seen here is the 86-kilometer-wide Tycho crater on the Moon with its central peak. The 86-kilometer-wide Tycho crater on the Moon and its central peak. Credit: NASA LRO Tycho was formed about 108 ...

Seen here is the spectacular Copernicus crater with its central peaks. They allow a peak (pun intended) into the lunar interior. Copernicus crater on the Moon with two central peaks. Credit: NASA ...
