Mar 9, 2022 · The Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer mission is currently on its way back to Earth to deliver the samples of asteroid Bennu that it collected in 2020. Dante Lauretta, OSIRIS-REx PI, will remain in place for the primary mission, while DellaGiustina begins her role as the newly named PI for OSIRIS-APophis EXplorer (OSIRIS-APEX).
Apr 25, 2022 · With a new name to reflect the extended mission’s new goals, the OSIRIS-APEX team will redirect the spacecraft to encounter Apophis, an asteroid roughly 1,200 feet (roughly 370 meters) in diameter that will come within 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of Earth in 2029. OSIRIS-APEX will enter orbit around Apophis soon after the asteroid’s ...

Nasa’s Artemis programme to send human astronauts back to the Moon in 2024 should get underway in 2022. The last astronauts to step foot on the Moon in 1972 made it there on a Saturn V rocket. Now Nasa has created a new generation of rockets, the Space Launch System (SLS), which will be tested for the first time in March with the launch of the Arte...
Mid 2022 will be a busy time for space exploration, as Nasa will also launch its Psyche asteroid mission. Psyche, which is orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, is an M-class asteroid, made of metal, so it’s similar to the core of the Earth. We’ve never been close to an M-class asteroid before, nor have we been able to study the core of the Ea...
Not long after Psyche’s journey begins, the Dart mission, which launched in November 2021, should arrive at its destination in late September. Dart – which stands for the double asteroid redirection test – is heading to asteroid Didymos and its moonlet Dimorphos. The goal is to test what technology it would take to save the Earth from an incoming a...
2021 was a busy year for Mars missions with the launch of Nasa’s Perseverance rover and the Chinese Zhurong rover, both of which continue to send back incredible images and data from the surface of the red planet. In September 2022, the European Space Agency is due to launch the next part of its ExoMars mission in collaboration with Roscosmos. The ...
Feb 13, 2020 · Unlike its larger mission lines, NASA's Discovery program is open to targets throughout the Solar System. The agency's two most recent selections—Lucy, set to fly past a series of asteroids that follow Jupiter's orbit, and Psyche, which will explore an oddball metallic asteroid—are set to launch in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Nov 9, 2017 · Venus: Exploration. Dozens of spacecraft have launched to explore Venus, but not all have been successful. NASA's Mariner 2 was the first spacecraft to visit any planet beyond Earth when it flew past Venus on Dec. 14, 1962. NASA is planning two new missions to Venus: VERITAS, and DAVINCI. All NASA Science Missions.
Jan 6, 2022 · Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU. 2. Psyche: Mission to a Metal-Rich Asteroid. Launching in August 2022, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft will orbit a metal-rich asteroid also called Psyche in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. NASA 2022: The Future is Now.
