  1. Here's a link, they got a signal but since it's lunar noon it's too hot to consistently operate so they told it to wait until it cools down https://www.iflscience.com/its-alive-japans-moon-lander-has-survived-its-first-lunar-night-73121
  2. sounds like they got a return signal, maybe it isnt as bad as it looked
  3. Sounds like they dont know where or if it landed, doesnt sound good
  4. Mimas has a geologicaly young ocean beneath its surface https://phys.org/news/2024-02-mimas-tiny-moon-young-ocean.html
  5. The telemetry from the stream made it seem like all the thrusters were in a ring on the bottom facing down so it would be hard to tip it with those
  6. seems like water on mars is more widespread than previously thought, with large amounts of water ice on the equator https://www.space.com/mars-water-ice-equator-frozen-ocean
  7. Latest update shows a picture from the spacecraft, distortion to the MLI is visible
  8. Huh, wonder if this will be the irl version of the mun lander that gets stuck as an orbiter due to using too much delta V
  9. Looks like we missed this one, there was an all solid stage launch from jeju. Not many details available that I can find. https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Defense/South-Korea-test-fires-solid-fuel-rocket-and-puts-satellite-into-orbit
  10. Looks like there was an explosion during a test fire at Jiuquan https://spacenews.com/satellite-imagery-reveals-explosion-at-chinas-jiuquan-spaceport/
  11. SpaceX got another X-37b launch, this time on falcon heavy, wonder why they are using it instead of regular falcon https://spacenews.com/u-s-air-force-x-37b-spaceplane-to-launch-on-a-spacex-falcon-heavy-rocket/
  12. Lucy has flown by Dinkinesh, NASA has received communications from the spacecraft, but I cant find any pictures yet, probably gonna take a while for them to download with the light lag https://blogs.nasa.gov/lucy/2023/11/01/nasas-lucy-spacecraft-completes-asteroid-flyby/
  13. Yeah the only way I actually see this being a practical idea is if the new reentry vehicle they cobble together on top of a platform wholly unsuitable for ICBM work is somehow more reliable than whatever ballistic missiles they have lying around, maybe if the private in charge of maintenance decides to get into the scrap copper business, though I don't think a Soyuz would fare much better against that
