N ASA is planning a pretty neat experiment for later this year, setting deliberate fires whilst on the surface of the Moon, the first time such experiments have been conducted on another celestial body.

NASA shut down Voyager 1's charged particles instrument to save dwindling power, as the interstellar spacecraft loses about 4 watts of energy per year.

An analysis by the nonprofit science advocacy group The Planetary Society has identified 54 NASA missions that may be endangered as a result of the White House’s budget proposal for the coming fiscal

NASA engineers are working to keep the Voyager mission alive as it cruises through interstellar space, opting to shut down components of the spacecraft to save power. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) sent commands to Voyager 1 to shut off one of its science instruments after the spacecraft’s power levels fell unexpectedly.

A review by The Planetary Society concludes the proposal would effectively cancel roughly 53 science missions, including several with JPL involvement. Coverage by outlets such as Space.com notes that the threatened projects span planetary science,

NASA's Voyager 1 was launched almost 49 years ago and is still actively travelling through deep space, currently over 15 billion miles away from Earth. Voyager 1 was created by humans and is the furthest any human-made object has ever travelled.

Bill Nye the Science Guy has criticized President Donald Trump’s proposal to cut funding for NASA, describing it as lazy and riddled with typos. The Trump administration this month released its proposed President’s Budget for fiscal year 2027.

This collection of organic molecules once again increases the prospect that Mars offered a home for life in the ancient past,” the mission’s project scientist, Ashwin Vasav
