For the first time since 2013, the White House has updated the US national space policy, setting a goal to raise the number of launches to a thousand per year by 2030. The main emphasis is placed on developing ground infrastructure.

NASA scientists have shown that terrestrial microorganisms are capable of surviving conditions in lunar craters, creating a risk of biological contamination and distortion of scientific data about the Moon and Mars.

Donald Trump signed a memorandum aiming to achieve at least 1,000 commercial space launches annually by 2030 and return astronauts to the Moon by 2028.

NASA and Katalyst Space Technologies have cancelled the Swift telescope rescue mission: the Link spacecraft lost control in late July due to reaction wheel failure. The observatory is expected to burn up in the atmosphere at the end of 2026.

On August 20, Katalyst Space and NASA abandoned the physical capture of the Swift observatory by the Link spacecraft due to attitude control system failures. A non-contact approach remains possible.

Roscosmos and NASA are discussing the allocation of responsibility for deorbiting the ISS. Roscosmos head Bakanov stated that operation has been extended to 2030, and that Progress spacecraft and the USDV will be used for braking.

NASA published detailed images of the crater left on the Moon by the Falcon 9 upper stage that struck its surface. The impact occurred on August 5, 2026, at a speed of about 8,700 km/h.

At the August 13 symposium, NASA and private company representatives named the HEU, workforce, and component shortages, as well as competition with the Army's Janus program, as the main obstacles to US space nuclear power.

NASA and ESA astronauts conducted a spacewalk through the ISS Quest airlock to service the communication antenna equipment. According to several sources, the new antenna was not installed during this spacewalk.

The spacewalk by astronauts Anil Menon and Sophie Adenot on August 18, 2026, did not allow for the complete replacement of the ISS communication antenna. Due to technical difficulties, the installation has been postponed until the next spacewalk.

🪐 Did NASA find a "jellyfish" on Mars? An archival Curiosity photo blew up the internet! 📸 A strange three-legged object is visible in the 2023 photo. 🤔 🔍 Theories: From UFOs to rocks. 🧪 Scientists: "Need to check in person". 🚀 The mission continues! Read the full breakdown in the article 👇 #NASA #Mars #Curiosity #Science #Space

🚀 Mike Gold, former NASA officer, revealed details of UAP archive declassification. The focus is on the mysterious 'three lights' in the 'Apollo 17' photo and society's readiness for contact with aliens. 🌕👽 Gold calls for scientific balance: do not panic, but do not deny the obvious. The Pentagon and NASA continue to publish data, including anomalies recorded in 2024. 🛰️📡 #UAP #NASA #Apollo17 #Aliens #SpaceNews #XABinfo

🚀 NASA has made a breakthrough in space navigation: the Starling satellite successfully determined its orbit without GPS using the FALCON system. 🛰️ The spacecraft "sees" other objects and debris to calculate its place in space. This is the key to autonomous missions to the Moon and Mars! 🌑🔴 #NASA #SpaceTech #FALCON #Starling

🌑 **NASA Prepares Medicine for the Moon:** The agency has acknowledged that ISS experience is insufficient for life on the Moon. Humans have spent only 80 hours there, but now years are planned. The main problem is the inability to quickly return to Earth in case of illness. 🇺🇸🇮🇳 The US has invited India to join the lunar base program.

🚀 NASA has announced three new lunar missions by the end of 2026 as part of the CLPS program. Firefly Aerospace and Intuitive Machines are preparing to scale production: new vehicles will be able to deliver up to 1 ton of cargo. 🌑 The third contract is dedicated to orbital mapping. The race for lunar infrastructure is gaining momentum! #NASA #Moon #SpaceTech

🚀 Blue Origin is building a second launch complex, LC-36B, at Cape Canaveral following the May accident. 🔹 The new pad is intended for the super-heavy New Glenn 9×4 rocket (9 BE-4 engines on the first stage). 🔹 The rocket will be capable of delivering 70+ tons to LEO and 20+ tons to the Moon. 🔹 The company plans to resume launches by the end of 2026. 🔹 A new hybrid rocket assembly scheme is being implemented to accelerate preparation. #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn #SpaceNews #NASA
