Voyager 2 launched in 1977 to tour the outer planets. It visited Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, returning data that transformed scientific understanding.
Psyche’s twin cameras recorded long-exposure images of Earth and the Moon. From 180 million miles away, both appeared as faint dots.
The Bion-M No. 2 spacecraft will launch aboard a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. It will carry 75 mice, 1,500 fruit flies, plants and microorganisms.
NASA and Freelancer announced on 15 August the 25 finalists in the “Moon Mascot: Artemis II ZGI Design Challenge.” The toy chosen will float inside Orion once microgravity begins.
The plan is to build a tiny spacecraft propelled by laser beams. It would reach speeds close to that of light. The craft would travel 20 to 25 light-years in 70 years.
Shubhanshu Shukla is the second Indian to travel to space and the first to visit the ISS. He spent 19 days there, conducting scientific experiments crucial to India’s Gaganyaan mission.
In an Instagram video, Shukla pointed out how his body is adapting to the transition from space back to Earth. He mentioned that even tasks as simple as walking in a straight line or balancing become challenging on a temporary basis after coming back from microgravity.
The ten-minute interaction gave schoolchildren a rare chance to ask questions. Shukla responded warmly, sharing insights on daily life in orbit, training, and staying healthy in space.

Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla is all set to become only the second Indian to venture into space as part of the Axiom-4 mission, launching from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon. Joining a four-member international crew, Shukla’s 28-hour journey includes complex orbital mechanics, docking maneuvers, and high-speed coordination in space. In this video, we break down every stage of the flight — from launch window planning to docking with the ISS.
Shubhanshu Shukla is set to become India’s second national astronaut to travel to space since Rakesh Sharma’s historic flight in 1984.
