India's Aditya-L1 spacecraft successfully deployed a 6-meter magnetometer boom in space, a critical step for its mission to study the Sun's chromosphere, corona, and interplanetary magnetic field.
Japan's "Moon Sniper," the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM), successfully landed on the lunar surface, achieving a pinpoint soft landing about 55 meters from its target.
MAGGIE would be able to perform the first global-scale atmospheric mission on Mars and revolutionise our capability of exploring almost the entirety of the Martian surface. It is the first concept to enable ongoing exploration of this region of Mars- said NASA.
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) achieved a laser range measurement using the LRA by successfully detecting signals reflected by it on December 12, 2023. The ranging utilized the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) on the LRO.
Astrobotic's Peregrine lander, which faced issues reaching the Moon, is coming back to Earth in a carefully planned descent over the South Pacific Ocean, carrying various payloads.
SLIM will begin the landing descent on Friday (January 20) at around 0:00 JST (8:30 PM IST). The lunar landing is scheduled at 0:20 JST. Japan will become just the fifth country to soft-land on the Moon successfully, after Russia, the US, China and India.

The Aditya-L1 was launched into low Earth orbit (LEO) on September 2, 2023, by the Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-XL (PSLV-XL) variant. It reached its Halo orbit around the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1 (L1) on Saturday evening.
India's first solar observatory, Aditya L1, has successfully reached its destination at halo orbit. It carries seven payloads to help scientists uncover the secrets of the Sun. The live updates on the ISRO Aditya L1 mission are available now.
According to S Somanath, the chief of ISRO, "Aditya-L1 will reach its L1 point on January 6th at 4 pm, and we will perform the final manoeuvre to keep it there."
ISRO successfully tested fuel cells in space, a breakthrough for future missions, as these cells efficiently generate power, emit only water, and prove ideal for space exploration and potential societal applications.
ISRO's Aditya L1 mission was prepared to study the Sun and is all set to create history. On January 6, at around 4 pm, the Aditya L1 satellite will be established at Lagrange 1 point after travelling 15 lakh kilometres from the Earth.
Space missions are becoming more interconnected and NASA's Space Security Best Practices Guide represents a crucial milestone when it comes to the agency's commitment towards ensuring the longevity and resilience of space missions.
NASA made a big leap by sending the first cat video from deep space using laser tech, proving it can improve communication for missions like going to Mars.
NASA reported that Earth is continuously experiencing solar storms and it further states that there might be another storm approaching today, one of these CMEs might be the collision course.
Alexander de la Vega, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Riverside stated "This galaxy, named ceers-2112, formed soon after the Big Bang."
Weather attribution analysis reveals that during the 12-month span, 5.7 billion people were exposed to at least 30 days of above-average temperatures made at least three times more likely by the influence of climate change, or level-three on Climate Central's Climate Shift Index.
