Researchers calculated emissions from all 186 rockets launched in 2022, as well as all 472 objects that reentered the atmosphere that year, revealing that spaceflight depletes the ozone layer, with a significant portion attributable to nitrogen oxide emissions.

The space industry is surging. In coming years, nearly 10,000 spacecraft are slated to launch into low-Earth orbit for a variety of purposes, such as global surveillance, space tourism, and satellite "megaconstellations" providing internet service.

Curiosity (also known as Mars Science Laboratory) has traveled nearly 37 kilometers, drilled into and sampled 42 different rocks, and as of publication has snapped nearly 763,000 photos. And this robot is still hard at work, getting real science done at the age of 13.

It takes some special tricks to maintain a robot 200 million kilometers from home

NASA has completed the investigation into the damage sustained last year at its 70-meter radio-frequency antenna, known as the Deep Space Station 14 (DSS-14), at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near Barstow, California.

The agency has classified the event as a Type A mishap based on the total cost of damages. The antenna will remain offline to complete repairs and previously scheduled upgrades.

A Boston University engineer has proposed a concept called StormWall that would use six spacecraft placed in GSO to combat space weather. Each spacecraft would carry a chemical payload that, once released, would rapidly photoionize in sunlight, turning into plasma.

Simulations suggest six spacecraft could weaken geomagnetic storms before they disrupt Earth’s satellites, GPS, and power grids.
