NASA’s “Astronaut Avatars” – Tiny Organ Chips Poised to Protect Artemis II Crew’s Health

NASA’s Artemis II, scheduled for 2026, will send four astronauts around the Moon and carry the AVATAR experiment, which uses organ-on-a-chip devices containing the crew’s own cells. These chips will monitor how deep space conditions affect human tissue. The project involves NASA, BARDA, NIH, Emulate, Inc., and Space Tango. Data could inform personalized medical protocols for future Moon and Mars missions.

Leopard-Spotted Mars Rock Could Hold ‘Clearest Sign of Life’ Yet, NASA Says

Leopard-Spotted Mars Rock Could Hold ‘Clearest Sign of Life’ Yet, NASA Says

NASA’s Perseverance rover found a mudstone rock in Mars’ Jezero Crater with mineral patterns and organic compounds that scientists call a “potential biosignature.” The minerals, vivianite and greigite, often form from microbes on Earth, but NASA says this is not proof of life. The sample was collected in July 2024 and analyzed for a year before publication. Further study on Earth is needed, but the Mars Sample Return mission faces funding uncertainty.

48 Years in Space: Inside NASA’s Voyager 1 & 2’s Epic Journey Beyond the Solar System (2025 Update)

48 Years in Space: Inside NASA’s Voyager 1 & 2’s Epic Journey Beyond the Solar System (2025 Update)

Voyager 1 and 2, launched in 1977, are the most distant human-made objects, now operating in interstellar space. The probes visited Jupiter and Saturn, with Voyager 2 also reaching Uranus and Neptune, and both continue to transmit data despite dwindling power. NASA engineers revived Voyager 1’s thrusters in 2024 to extend its mission. Signals from the spacecraft take over 19 hours to reach Earth.

Zombie Satellite! Defunct NASA Orbiter Emits Blazing Radio Burst After 60 Years

Zombie Satellite Awakens: Defunct 1960s NASA Orbiter Blasts Earth with Mysterious Radio Pulse

On June 13, 2024, the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder detected a 30-nanosecond radio burst peaking over 300,000 Jy from the vicinity of NASA’s defunct Relay 2 satellite. The signal matched Relay 2’s predicted orbit at about 20,000 km altitude. Relay 2, silent since 1967, was launched in 1964 to relay television and study radiation belts. Scientists suspect an electrostatic discharge or micrometeoroid impact caused the burst.
