official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA and Vast have signed an order for the sixth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, targeted to launch no earlier than summer 2027 from Florida. This private astronaut mission marks the company’s first selection to the orbiting laboratory, underscoring NASA’s ongoing investment in fostering a commercial spaceContinue reading “NASA Selects Vast for Sixth Private Mission to Space Station”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The next-generation spacesuit for NASA’s Artemis III mission continues to advance by passing a contractor-led technical review, as the agency prepares to send humans to the Moon’s South Pole for the first time. Testing is also underway for the new suits, built by Axiom Space, with NASA astronauts and spacesuit engineers recentlyContinue reading “NASA Moon Mission Spacesuit Nears Milestone”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope released on Feb. 10, 2026, reveals a dramatic interplay of light and shadow in the Egg Nebula, sculpted by freshly ejected stardust. Located approximately 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Egg Nebula features a central star obscured by a dense cloud of dustContinue reading “Shimmering Light in Egg Nebula”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Cortina d’Ampezzo, flanked by steep-sided mountain peaks, is the site of several skiing and sliding events in the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics.

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA completed the first flight test of a scale-model wing designed to improve laminar flow, reducing drag and lowering fuel costs for future commercial aircraft.  The flight took place Jan. 29 at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, using one of the agency’s F-15B research jets. The NASA-designed, 40-inch Crossflow Attenuated Natural Laminar Flow (CATNLF) wing model was attached to the aircraft’s underside vertically, like a fin. Continue reading “NASA Completes First Flight of Laminar Flow Scaled Wing Design”
