Asteroid 2024 PT5, measuring 10 meters, will be temporarily captured by Earth's gravity from September 29 to November 25, 2024. Although it won't complete a full orbit, it offers scientists valuable data on gravitational dynamics and near-Earth objects (NEOs).
A huge asteroid, nicknamed the 'God of Chaos,' is set to fly past Earth closer than some satellites do, leading scientists to reassess their predictions about a possible collision.
ISRO has successfully launched its Small Satellite Launch Vehicle-03 (SSLV-D3), placing the EOS-08 satellite into its designated orbit. This mission, executed flawlessly, is the final developmental flight of the SSLV, highlighting ISRO's precision in small satellite launches.
The spacecraft, which was inserted into orbit on January 6, underwent three station-keeping manoeuvres on February 22, June 7, and July 2 to counteract perturbing forces and ensure its transition into the second halo orbit.
The Lunar Orbit Injection (LOI), which will be carried out with a maneuver at Perilune, is the next important step in the mission. The LOI is planned for August 5, 2023.
The scientists said they will need to wait until 2026 in order to properly track the two objects around the star known as PDS 70.
Automated spacecraft Tianzhou-2 docked with China's new space station carrying fuel and supplies for its future crew.
The spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Saturday. This was the second launch of this type of launch vehicle in 2019, Xinhua news agency quoted the statement as saying.
The instrument is mounted on a platform at the end of a 1.2-metre boom -- its own 'selfie stick' -- and by rotating around the boom can look back at the spacecraft.
