Read this story in Spanish. here. NASA’s Juno mission has provided the first measurements of the temperature beneath the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io, revealing significant warming within the shallow subsurface of the solar system’s most volcanically active world. Data collected during two close flybys also show that most of Io’s surface is remarkably smooth

NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev are concluding their 241-day mission aboard the International Space Station. The crew and their Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft will undock from the orbital laboratory’s Rassvet module at 3:02 a.m. EDT on Sunday, July 26, and head for a parachute-assisted landing at 6:26 a.m. (3:26
The media is invited to NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, on Friday, July 31, to attend a press tour and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Flight Dynamics Research Center, the agency’s first new wind tunnel in more than 40 years. The event will include a brief media availability with: NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman Dr.
Following liftoff from Cape Canaveral on July 21 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the Robotic Mission Vehicle (MRV) hosting the NASA-backed Robotic Geosynchronous Satellite Servicing (RSGS) payload is now en route to geosynchronous Earth orbit, where it will use its advanced robotics to service spacecraft. RSGS leverages NASA’s space robotics expertise, aligned with the
This map represents data captured by the Microwave Radiometer (MWR) aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft, indicating the heat rising just below the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io. While infrared instruments measure the temperature of the moon’s surface, the MWR’s lower frequency microwave channels (0.6 and 1.25 gigahertz) can penetrate 6 to 20 feet (2 to 6
