Artemis II astronauts are now nearing Earth after a landmark lunar mission described as surreal and profoundly moving. As they prepare for a fiery reentry through Earth’s atmosphere, NASA and the Defense Department are prioritizing one thing: a safe return. The flight also signals a new era of lunar exploration after decades away from the Moon.
ISRO has successfully completed the second integrated air drop test for the Gaganyaan mission at Sriharikota. The test is designed to validate safe recovery of the crew module during re-entry, building on a previous successful trial. By testing parachute performance and splashdown safety, ISRO is tightening key systems ahead of future crewed flight milestones.
