Hyderabad-based EON Space Labs has developed MIRA, India’s first indigenous electro-optical space telescope, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of Low Earth Orbit missions. The miniaturised telescope is scheduled for a heritage flight in December 2025.

SpaceX launched NASA’s Sentinel-6B satellite to monitor global sea-level rise and ocean conditions. Building on three decades of data, the mission will enhance weather forecasting, support coastal planning, safeguard infrastructure, and aid disaster preparedness, benefiting civilian, commercial, and defense sectors

China is rapidly advancing toward its first crewed lunar landing by 2030, developing new spacecraft, rockets, and spacesuits. Its steady progress rivals NASA’s Artemis program, raising geopolitical stakes and highlighting Beijing’s growing technological, strategic, and symbolic ambitions in space exploration

NASA and ISRO will declare their joint NISAR satellite operational on Friday, ISRO chief V Narayanan announced. Launched in July, the dual-band radar mission can scan the entire Earth every 12 days. Narayanan also revealed timelines for Gaganyaan and India’s planned space station

SpaceX launched its 11th full-scale Starship test flight from Texas, aiming to release mock satellites and land in the Indian Ocean. The mission tested maneuvers for future moon and Mars missions, critical for NASA’s upcoming lunar landing goals

After Webb's launch, Australian scientists used a unique instrument, AMI, to diagnose and correct image distortions. Their new method restored clarity, revealing hidden planets and black hole jets, and enhancing Webb’s potential to find Earth-like worlds beyond our galaxy

Born in India and raised in UAE, the young astrophysicist turned a childhood fascination with the night sky into research on hidden black holes

ISRO is set to launch the advanced NISAR satellite with NASA aboard GSLV-F16 from Sriharikota. This landmark Earth observation mission will track environmental changes, natural disasters, and climate patterns using dual-frequency radar—marking the most ambitious Indo-US space collaboration yet

New NASA-led research reveals that global warming is altering wind patterns and shrinking Earth's reflective cloud zones. This change allows more sunlight to reach the surface, amplifying warming in a feedback loop where rising temperatures further disrupt cloud formations

The Axiom-4 mission, which marks the return to space for India, Hungary, and Poland, was earlier scheduled for lift-off from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on June 19 onboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket

The Axiom Space mission was to blast-off from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on June 11, but had to be delayed first due to a fuel leak in SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket and then due to a leak in the Russian section of the ISS

Serving as the mission pilot of the Axiom-4 commercial mission to ISS, he will be joined by mission commander Peggy Whitson and mission specialists Tibor Kapu from Hungary and Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski from Poland. The mission marks India's return to space after 41 years since Rakesh Sharma's historic spaceflight onboard Russia's Soyuz mission in 1984

The project, titled Space Selfie, runs under the umbrella of Rober's company CrunchLabs and was a $5 million personal investment of his. The satellite, lovably nicknamed SAT GUS, was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base on January 14, 2025. The mission is meant to mix in some public engagement with space tech in a fun, interactive manner.

NASA's Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers are the two female astronauts among seven living on the international space station at present. Also, they are the fifth pair to do all-female spacewalk in 60 years of spacewalking

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope found fingerprints of 'dimethyl sulphide' and 'dimethyl disulphide' on distant exoplanet named K2-18 b -- known to be produced on Earth by microbes. The molecules provide the strongest evidence yet that life may exist on a planet outside our solar system, even as how they formed on that exoplanet remain unknown

Rajendra's removal comes after weeks of internal efforts at NASA to retain her by rebranding her role

A Soyuz booster rocket lifted off as scheduled from the Russia-leased Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan to put the Soyuz MS-27 carrying the trio in orbit

While their safe arrival is being celebrated across mainstream media, conspiracy theorists and skeptics are taking to social media to argue that there have been several inconsistencies in the narrative

International Space Laws were created during the Cold War, when space exploration was shaped by military sensitivities. Now, private companies own 11,000 active satellites orbiting Earth

NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Sunita Williams, and Butch Wilmore, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, returned to Earth on Tuesday. In a post on 'X,' Naidu expressed his delight at their safe return, praising their journey as a testament to human determination and teamwork.
