NASA announced that it is focusing its Artemis I planning efforts on the launch period that opens Nov. 12 and closes Nov. 27 to send their mega moon rocket into space.

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — NASA has set a new November launch window for Artemis 1 after Hurricane Ian scrubbed a backup launch date of Oct. 2. A new launch window will open on November 12 and close 15 days later on Nov. 27, NASA said Friday. The Artemis 1 stack, which consists of the giant Space Launch System rocket topped with the Orion capsule, had been rolled into NASA’s massive Vehicle Assembly Building before Hurricane Ian arrived in Florida on Wednesday. Ahead of Hurricane Ian, our #Artemis I Moon rocket and spacecraft were rolled back from the pad and secured inside @NASAKennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building. The timing of the new launch window will also allow NASA employees to address the needs of their families and homes following Hurricane Ian.

The beloved Hubble observatory could get the SpaceX treatment.

NASA will now work toward getting Artemis 1 on its way to the moon between Nov. 12 and November 27.

In a 4-0 vote Thursday, the FCC adopted new rules requiring operators of satellites in low-Earth orbit to “dispose” of them no less than five years after completing their missions. “For years, it has been the recommended practice for satellite operators to deorbit their spacecraft within 25 years of completing their missions. There is no reason to wait that long anymore, especially in low-Earth orbit,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in the meeting. As of 2021, there were more than 4,800 operational satellites in orbit, most of which were low-Earth orbit satellites. Experts have warned that the hundreds of thousands of pieces of space debris circling the planet threaten functioning satellites, including the International Space Station.

All these pictures will help scientists learn more about the little asteroid Dimorphos, which took the punch and ended up with a sizable crater. The impact sent streams of rock and dirt hurling into space, appearing as bright emanating rays in the latest photos. ______The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — (AP) — NASA’s Juno spacecraft has made the closest approach to Jupiter’s tantalizing, icy moon Europa in more than 20 years. Juno on Thursday zipped within 222 miles (357 kilometers) of Europa, thought to have an ocean flowing beneath its thick frozen crust, raising the possibility of underwater life. Scientists hope to get lucky and observe possible water plumes shooting from the surface of Europa, close in size to Earth's moon. The latest observations will help NASA plan for its Europa Clipper mission, due to launch in 2024. NASA's former Galileo spacecraft still holds the Europa flyby record, passing within 218 miles (351 kilometers) in 2000.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has made the closest approach to Jupiter’s tantalizing, icy moon Europa in more than 20 years. “We have to be at the right place at just the right time, but if we are so fortunate, it’s a home run for sure," Juno's chief scientist, Scott Bolton of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, said in a statement. John Bordi, deputy mission manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, expected the spacecraft to go “screaming by pretty fast,” with a relative velocity of almost 15 miles per second (23.6 kilometers per second).

NASA’s moon rocket returned to the safety of its hangar Tuesday as Hurricane Ian approached Florida, its launch now unlikely before mid-November. Instead of trying to send it on its first test flight, the launch team moved the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket off the pad at Kennedy Space Center. NASA official Jim Free said it would be difficult to upgrade the rocket and get it back to the pad for an October launch attempt. The Space Launch System rocket should have blasted off a month ago, but was delayed twice by fuel leaks and engine issues. The last time a capsule flew to the moon was during NASA's Apollo 17 lunar landing in 1972.
