🇮🇳 #Mangalyaan2 will perform a direct entry, meaning the descent stage will plunge straight into the atmosphere without first orbiting the planet. The landing sequence will begin with #aerobraking to slow the spacecraft using atmospheric drag. At an altitude of approximately 1.3 kilometres above the Martian surface, powered descent engines will ignite 🔥 timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sc

Proposed budget cuts to NASA and NOAA could cripple US scientific research, risking the closure of Goddard Space Flight Center. Recent discoveries include insights on the Oort cloud and Mars's ice cap. Notable updates: NASA's Lucy mission flyby, Bangladesh joins Artemis, and Blue Origin's all-female crew mission. 🚀🌖🛰🌌📡🌍💫

The Orbital Index Issue № 311:
New DESI data hints dark energy isn’t constant, potentially resolving the Hubble Tension. SpaceX's Transporter-13 marked its 400th landing with 74+ payloads, including Botswana's first satellite. Meanwhile, SETI engaged with a whale, and lunar rovers may soon map soil with tiny spectrometers. ESA’s Hera imaged Deimos! 🚀🌖🛰🌌📡🌍💫

NASA-ISRO Mission Will Map Farmland From Planting to Harvest. The NASA-ISRO SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite will be launched soon and acquire radar over the entire land area of the Earth (except a few places near the poles). One objective is mapping agriculture. #NASA #ISRO #radar #satellite #SAR #agriculture

Data gathered in 2017 by the European Sentinel-1 SAR satellite program shows changes to croplands in the region southeast of Florida’s Lake Okeechobee. Colors in the fields indicate various crops in different parts of their growth and harvest cycles. NISAR will gather similar data in L- and S-band radar frequencies.

NVS-02 in trouble..

"Subsequent to the launch, the solar panels on board the satellite were successfully deployed and power generation is nominal. Communication with the ground station has been established. But the orbit raising operations towards positioning the satellite to the designated orbital slot could not be carried out as the valves for admitting the oxidizer to fire the thrusters for orbit raising did not open."

ISRO has released a video of the successful docking of the twin SpaDeX (Space Docking Experiment) spacecraft, performed during the early hours of 16 January, 2025.

The graphics below shows a screen-shot from the monitoring display around the time of capture and a pic of the view from each satellite shortly thereafter.
