NASA researchers will continue to have access to the scientific information and resources they need to do their work.

NASA follows a deliberate process to evaluate materials, ensuring they are digitized, transferred to other libraries, or otherwise preserved for historical purposes.

Artemis II represents the first time in over 50 years that astronauts will be sent around the Moon.

NASA will perform a series of tests at the pad for Artemis II after the rollout.

NASA will move directly into launch operations for Artemis II without returning to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).

The launch window for Artemis II opens no earlier than February 7 at approximately 02:45 UTC.

The SLS rocket for Artemis II is set to roll to LC-39B in less than two weeks.

There are rumors that the company blew up its engine test stand a few days ago, creating uncertainty about the schedule.

Nebula-1 is set to launch with splash-down recovery before the Spring Festival on February 15.

Nebula-1 was planned to send to Haiyang LC in January.

One lightning tower has been stacked for Pad-1 at Haiyan Lianli Island.

The Haiyang onshore launch complex for liquid rockets at Lianli Island is expected to be completed in early next year.

The tower cranes at the Haiyan Lianli Island Pad-1 site have been removed.

The CZ12/12A will soon have three pads available for launches.

The Pad-1 for liquid rockets at Haiyan Lianli Island is close to completion.

Pad-1 at Haiyan Lianli Island may not require a water tower due to the presence of ponds on the island.

Mega Engine plans to release its 200-ton level engine named 焱/Yan by 2026.

Mega Engine completed a 200-second hot fire test for its 87-ton vacuum RP-1/LOX closed cycle engine named 炽/Chi.

Galactic Energy has a test stand located near Chizhou.

2025 featured a nine-figure funding round.

SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 rocket 165 times in 2025.

The frequency of launches using reusable boosters became more established in 2025.

In 2025, Starlink gained more than 4.6 million new active customers, bringing the total to over 9.2 million.

SpaceX conducted 5 flight tests of the next-generation large rocket Starship in 2025.

Falcon 9 deployed over 3,800 satellites into orbit, including for the satellite communication service Starlink.

Starlink services are available in more than 155 countries, covering a population of 3.2 billion people.

Starship underwent 5 flight tests in total.

The 11th flight test of Starship succeeded in landing both the booster and upper stage, as well as deploying 8 dummy satellites.

The number of Falcon 9 launches in 2024 was 132, representing a significant increase in 2025.

The early launches of Starship in 2025 encountered challenges, including vehicle loss.

SpaceX is developing an improved version of Starship called Starship Version 3.

On March 20, 2026, a crescent moon illuminated at 5% will be visible above the bright planet Venus about 45 minutes after sunset.

The second lunar eclipse of 2026 will be visible from North America, South America, Europe, and Africa and will not reach totality.

The annular solar eclipse will be visible from specific research stations, including the Franco-Italian Concordia station and the Russian Mirny station in Queen Mary Land.

A conjunction between a thin crescent moon and the elusive planet Mercury will occur about 45 minutes after sunset on February 18, 2026.

The March 2026 lunar eclipse will be visible from parts of Western North America, Australia, New Zealand, East Asia, and the Pacific.

A partial solar eclipse will be visible from Antarctica and parts of Southern Africa and Argentina.

An annular solar eclipse, known as the 'ring of fire', will occur on February 17, 2026, with the moon eclipsing up to 96% of the Sun for up to 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

The first full moon of 2026 will be the Wolf Moon in January, which will be a supermoon.

A very close conjunction between the moon and Jupiter, with only 10 arc seconds apart, will occur about 90 minutes before sunrise.

During the second lunar eclipse, 4% of the moon will not enter the Earth's central shadow, resulting in a predominantly reddish lunar surface.

During the March 2026 total lunar eclipse, the Worm Moon will transit the Earth's shadow and become a red-orange 'blood moon' for 58 minutes.

The supermoon on December 23, 2026, will be only 356,740 kilometers from Earth, making it about 100 kilometers closer than the supermoon on February 19, 2019.

A waning crescent moon illuminated at 9% will be visible below the Beehive Cluster (M44) about 45 minutes before sunrise.

There will be three supermoons in 2026 on January 3, November 24, and December 23, with the December 23 moon being the closest to Earth since 2019.

Saturn will be prominent in the night sky towards the end of 2026, becoming more visible as the moon passes nearby on September 26.

Two supermoons will be closer than the December 23 supermoon: on February 10, 2028, and March 30, 2029.

The August 12, 2026, solar eclipse will be visible from eastern Greenland, western Iceland, and northern Spain, while all of Europe will experience a deep partial eclipse.

On April 19, 2026, a crescent moon illuminated at 9% will approach the Pleiades star cluster shortly after sunset.

The Wolf Moon will appear larger and brighter because it will be at its closest point to Earth along its elliptical orbit.
