Q&A

• What records did NASA's Parker Solar Probe break?

  The Parker Solar Probe smashed a record by flying 6.1 million km from the Sun's surface at 692,000 km/h, achieved through seven Venus flybys and advanced technology for heat protection. Meanwhile, the Mars Sample Return program faces budget and timeline challenges, with proposals for alternative solutions from NASA and private companies, including Rocket Lab's alternative ideas for a Mars mission at lower cost and timeline.

• What exciting updates were given on upcoming moon missions?

  The updates include payload details for Blue Ghost and Ice Bas missions. The Blue Ghost mission aims to gather valuable data and pave the way for crew missions to the moon. There are also upcoming missions by intuitive machines and astrobotics, with previous moon mission attempts and expectations for more exciting moon missions in the future.

• What updates were provided on recent space launches?

  The update includes new features of ODU, such as product addition, email campaigns, and analytics integration. There are also updates on recent space launches, including Starlink missions and record-breaking booster flights. Additionally, there were emergency response efforts by Starlink in the LA wildfire response. Furthermore, SpaceX is set to launch two lunar landers on the same rocket.

• What changes were made to the SpaceX Starship for flight 7?

  Flight 7 has changes in boost back burn, landing burn, and ascent burn due to new design. The ship underwent a wet dress rehearsal in preparation for the flight. Additionally, Olivia's artwork of the Starship has been praised.

• What developments and upgrades are happening for SpaceX's ships?
