NASA Plans to Send Crew to the Moon in Early 2026

NASA confirms its intention to send a crew to the Moon in early 2026, with the launch expected no later than April. The upcoming Artemis II program will involve a flyby of the Moon without a landing, lasting for 10 days. The mission will include NASA astronauts Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen.

Spacewalk: New Ways of Movement and Insurance for Cosmonauts In October, cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky conducted a spacewalk where they tested a new insurance method using two variable-length tethers. This innovative approach involves having one fixed-length tether (around 1m) to prevent drifting far away and one variable-length tether that can extend up to 3m. The new method allows for a movement zone expansion of more than 2m and reduces the time needed to move between objects on the station's surface. The experiment underwent a phased evaluation process, starting with ground testing by instructors, followed by cosmonaut trials in a hydro laboratory, and finally, its application in space. According to the key VKD rule, a cosmonaut must always have two attachment points, ensuring their safety during spacewalks. The success of the results means that this method will be further utilized in future missions.

Mars, once potentially habitable, has transformed into a frozen desert over time. The Red Planet's thin atmosphere is unable to retain heat, causing temperatures to plummet. This cooling effect is exacerbated by the absence of a protective magnetic field, which allows solar winds to strip away Mars' atmosphere.

What to Do If You Find a Meteorite If you stumble upon a peculiar dark rock with a distinct appearance and a hard crust, it might be a meteorite. According to Australian scientists, it is crucial to follow specific steps upon discovery: Do not touch the rock initially. Instead, take a photo of it on-site, including something for scale. Remember to note down the coordinates, time, and date of the discovery. Avoid washing, rubbing, or storing the rock in plastic; opt for foil instead. Contact a museum or geological service for further assistance. Photo: GEOKHI RAS
