NASA has selected two new Earth observation missions namely STRIVE and EDGE to better understand changes in the atmosphere, ice sheets and ecosystems. These satellites are expected to launch no earlier than 2030.

The discovery is just the latest to come from the asteroid sample, which dates back to the dawn of the solar system.

NASA’s latest alert about a near‑Earth asteroid has revived a familiar mix of anxiety and curiosity about what would happen if a space rock really were on a collision course with our planet. The agency’s own data show that the risk of a serious impact in any given decade is small but not zero,

Two next-generation satellite missions announced Thursday will help NASA better understand Earth and improve capabilities to foresee environmental events and mitigate disasters.

NASA has selected UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to lead the Earth Dynamics Geodetic Explorer (EDGE) satellite mission, which will monitor land, vegetation, ice sheets and coastal regions to help scientists better understand climate change and natural disasters.

NASA Responds to Claim That Earth Will Lose Gravity in 2026

The asteroid, around 100 feet in diameter, is speeding toward our planet at about 22,000 miles per hour, according to NASA.

The upcoming mission marks Vast’s first selection to send a private astronaut crew to the orbiting laboratory, highlighting

NASA vs SpaceX rockets compared on cost, technology, and performance, revealing how reusability and innovation reshape modern spaceflight missions.
