  • Lunar Exploration and Solar System Missions Dominate Planetary Science Agenda for 2023

    Lunar Exploration and Solar System Missions Dominate Planetary Science Agenda for 2023
    Jan 10 2026
    Across the United States, planetary science is entering the new year with intense activity, shifting plans, and renewed political support. NASA reports that preparations for Artemis 2, the first crewed mission around the Moon in more than fifty years, are reaching their final phase at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with the Space Launch System rocket scheduled to roll from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad thirty nine B as early as mid January, ahead of a planned early February launch window. According to NASA mission planners, this flight will test the Orion spacecraft in deep space and lay the groundwork for future lunar landings that will carry extensive geology and geophysics experiments on the Moon.

    In cislunar space, NASA announced from its Glenn Research Center in Ohio that engineers have powered up the electrical system for the Gateway lunar space station for the first time. This power and propulsion system, developed with international partners, will eventually support long duration planetary science at the Moon, including observations of the lunar surface, the solar wind, and possibly near Earth asteroids, all from a stable orbit around the Moon.

    Closer to Earth, Congress has just sent a strong signal about the future of planetary science funding. NASA Watch reports that the House of Representatives passed a major funding bill after intense debate over proposed cuts, and the bipartisan Planetary Science Caucus declared that the legislation keeps the United States on track to maintain leadership in space exploration. The caucus statement specifically highlights Mars Sample Return as the highest priority planetary science mission recommended by the 2023 Planetary Sciences Decadal Survey, and frames sustained support for Mars exploration as essential to retaining American expertise at institutions such as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.

    At the same time, global planetary missions are aligning with this push. The Planetary Society notes that January launch opportunities are opening for Japan’s Martian Moons Exploration mission to Phobos and Deimos, Europe’s Juice spacecraft is preparing a gravity assist near Earth on its way to Jupiter, and NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is approaching its earliest possible launch date, promising powerful new studies of exoplanets around distant stars.

    Emerging patterns are clear. United States planetary science is pivoting toward a tightly integrated program, combining human missions around the Moon, a permanent presence in lunar orbit, and sophisticated robotic missions throughout the solar system, while Congress and advocacy groups work in parallel to shield this effort from disruptive budget cuts and preserve long term scientific momentum.

  • Headline: NASA Pushes Boundaries: Habitable Worlds Observatory Advances Exoplanet Exploration and Solar System Observation

    Headline: NASA Pushes Boundaries: Habitable Worlds Observatory Advances Exoplanet Exploration and Solar System Observation
    Jan 7 2026
    NASA has selected industry proposals to advance technologies for the Habitable Worlds Observatory, a flagship space telescope concept designed to directly image Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars and analyze their atmospheres for signs of life. According to NASA, this mission, announced on January 5, 2026, from headquarters in Washington, will also support studies of our universe and human exploration of Mars and the solar system. Shawn Domagal-Goldman, director of the Astrophysics Division, stated that these awards combine government leadership with commercial innovation to make future missions possible. The proposals build on work from the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, and upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set for launch no earlier than September 2026.

    In Phoenix, Arizona, the 247th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, running from January 4 to 8 at the Phoenix Convention Center, is highlighting exoplanet research and the Habitable Worlds Observatory. Sessions organized by NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program are debating priorities for detecting biosignatures on distant worlds, while discussions cover galaxy evolution using data from James Webb, Hubble, and Chile's Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array.

    Skywatchers in the United States can observe Jupiter at opposition on January 10, when it appears biggest and brightest all year in the constellation Gemini, as noted by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. On January 23, Saturn and the Moon will conjoin in the western sky, with Saturn sparkling below the Moon. The Beehive Cluster, or Messier 44, buzzes into view throughout January evenings.

    Emerging patterns show accelerating U.S. focus on habitable exoplanets and solar system observation, with the Habitable Worlds Observatory poised to answer if we are alone. Meanwhile, NASA's Psyche mission plans a gravity assist at Mars this month, flying within 4,400 kilometers, and Astrobotic's Griffin Mission One eyes a lunar landing under NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services. These efforts reveal a strategic push toward life-detection technologies and deep-space readiness, blending public and private innovation.

  • Soaring U.S. Planetary Exploration: NASA's Artemis, Mars Missions, and Commercial Partnerships Propel Scientific Breakthroughs

    Soaring U.S. Planetary Exploration: NASA's Artemis, Mars Missions, and Commercial Partnerships Propel Scientific Breakthroughs
    Dec 31 2025
    NASA marked significant strides in planetary science throughout 2025, with key developments centered in the United States advancing lunar and Mars exploration. NASA's Artemis program progressed toward the Artemis II test flight, scheduled for early 2026, which will send astronauts on the first crewed mission under the campaign to confirm systems for future lunar landings, including Artemis III. According to NASA, experiments on recent Commercial Lunar Payload Services flights captured over nine thousand first-of-a-kind images of a lunar lander's engine plumes and tested technologies like an electrodynamic dust shield and lunar navigation systems at sites near the Moon's South Pole.

    A major announcement awarded Blue Origin a task order to deliver NASA's VIPER rover, the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, to the lunar South Pole in late 2027, aiming to map water ice resources crucial for sustained human presence. Firefly Aerospace secured another flight for 2030, highlighting growing commercial partnerships from U.S. firms. At NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, Steve Sinacore was named to lead fission surface power efforts, developing nuclear systems for powering Moon and Mars bases.

    Mars exploration gained momentum with the National Academies releasing a science strategy for human missions, identifying opportunities to search for signs of life, study planetary evolution, and test in-situ resource utilization. NASA selected participants for a second yearlong ground-based Mars simulation starting in October at facilities in the U.S., alongside tests of deep space inflatable habitats. The agency's fourth Entry Descent and Landing test in three months advanced precision landing capabilities for Mars' thin atmosphere and rugged terrain, conducted at U.S. test ranges.

    Emerging patterns show accelerated U.S.-led innovation through public-private collaborations, with seven new nations joining the Artemis Accords, now nearing sixty signatories, promoting safe exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars faces upcoming tests of its endurance, as reported by Purdue University researchers, while skywatchers note the interstellar comet three-I-ATLAS reaching closest approach to Earth on December nineteenth, observed from dark U.S. skies. These efforts position the United States at the forefront of planetary science, blending robotic precursors with crewed ambitions for multiplanetary expansion.
