The U.S. wants to go back to the moon this year and is looking to profit-seeking companies to make it happen.Five moon landers made by U.S. companies are due to touch down on the moon in 2024 with NASA devices on board. The first is expected to be launched early Monday, with an expected uncrewed landing next month. If that flight—or one blasting off in February—is successful, the U.S. would be back on the lunar surface for the first time since 1972.Copyright ©2024Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved.…

Astrobotic and Intuitive Machines are all set with their Moon landers. Now they just need their rockets prepped and the launch windows to swing open. But once underway, these NASA-funded missions, slated for early 2024, will chart a new course for the future of private space exploration.China's Plan to Land Astronauts on the MoonOn Tuesday, Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic announced that its Peregrine lunar lander is fueled and ready to rock. The Moon mission, formally known as Astrobotic’s Peregrine Mission 1 (TO2-AB), is…

NASA’s Artemis missions, aimed at extending lunar exploration, face new challenges with larger landers that pose greater operational risks. These missions must navigate complex lunar landings and liftoffs in an environment with unique challenges, such as low gravity and a dusty surface.

Far from the aerospace hotbed of Colorado’s Front Range, Agile Space Industries is scaling up its work in Durango on rocket thrusters that will be used to land on the moon. The company, started in 2009, designs, tests and manufactures propulsion systems for spacecraft. One of its products, the A110 thruster, has passed performance tests and met customers’ requirements and Agile expects a second product to do the same later this year. In June, Lockheed Martin Ventures participated in Agile’s $13 million seed-funding round…

As a child, the British actor Tobias Menzies was a talented junior tennis player. At the beginning of the Covid pandemic, he decided to see if he could get his game back. He joined his local club in north London and started hitting, mostly on his own with a machine firing balls at him, at least a couple of times a week: for the first six months, he only struck forehands; then he did a similar stint on his backhand. Two years on, Menzies has finally felt ready to contest matches, mainly against the club pro.“When I started…

When it comes to the future of spaceflight, the Moon is the place to be. Several missions are set to land on the Moon in the next few years in an effort to establish a human presence on the lunar surface. Although they’re meant to bolster lunar activity, those landings, however, could in turn have a negative effect on spacecraft orbiting the Moon. China's Plan to Land Astronauts on the Moon A recent study, newly uploaded to the preprint arXiv,examined the potential damage caused by lunar landers, which can eject dust…
