NASA conducted a historic experiment called DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) in which a spacecraft deliberately collided with the 170 metre wide asteroid Dimorphos. This experiment showed that a kinetic impact could deflect a potentially dangerous asteroid if it were ever on a collision course with Earth.
According to statements by Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX, a future version of the Starship spacecraft, which conducted its third test flight last week, will travel to interstellar space. He announced this on his Twitter account.
Mercury was recently subjected to a massive explosion of solar plasma that erupted from the hidden backside of the Sun. This explosion probably caused invisible X-ray auroras around the rocky surface of the planet. The explosion was so powerful that it was 40 times the size of the Earth. This explosion was caused by a powerful solar flare that occurred around 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 9 March.

Belgian company INTERSTELLAR announced fundraising for the RED 3.721 watch on Indiegogo and Kickstarter.
NASA will need new spacesuits for the Artemis mission. So on June 1, NASA announced that it had selected private companies Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace to develop a spacesuit called EVA. It should be suitable for astronauts of different sizes, both men and women. Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace will also create EVA systems for work outside the International Space Station, exploration of the lunar surface as part of the Artemis mission and preparation for human flights to Mars.
The Martian drone Ingenuity covered 704 meters at a speed of more than 19 km / h, it was its fastest and longest flight on Mars.
Now scientists are trying to figure out how to solve this problem.
The Artemis mission was supposed to take place in 2024, but recent litigation and other factors have made this timeline unlikely
Over the past 60 years of human spaceflight NASA has accumulated a wealth of knowledge that will play an important role in launching new projects.
