First Indian, Hungarian and Polish astronauts arrive at the ISS
A Crew Dragon capsule carrying the three astronauts and former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson docked at the ISS on Thursday at 1031 GMT, according to the US space agency NASA. The capsule had been launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on a Falcon 9 rocket operated by Elon Musk's space company SpaceX just under 30 hours earlier.
The Ax-4 mission had been postponed several times due to technical problems with the rocket and the ISS. This is the fourth commercial space mission for Houston-based Axiom Space, in collaboration with the US space agency NASA and SpaceX.
While Whitson has been in space several times, this is the first space flight for the three amateur astronauts. (DPA)

NASA plans to build nuclear reactor on Moon
DPA Washington NASA head Sean Duffy on Tuesday confirmed reports of plans to build a nuclear reactor on the surface of the Moon. 'We're in a race to the Moon, in a race with China to the Moon. And to have a base on the Moon, we need energy,' said Duffy, who is also acting as US transportation secretary. 'This [nuclear] fission technology is critically important, and so we've spent hundreds of millions of dollars studying it.' 'We are now going to move beyond studying,' he added. 'Let's start to deploy our technology to move to actually make this a reality.' News outlet Politico carried reports of the plans on Monday, citing documents suggesting that the US space agency intends to solicit concrete proposals from industry within 60 days for a 100-kilowatt reactor set to go into operation by 2030. The plan comes against the backdrop of intensifying competition with China, which is aiming to launch its first crewed Moon mission around the same time. The NASA document warns that the first nation to deploy a working reactor could 'declare a keep-out zone which would significantly inhibit the United States,' according to Politico. A reactor would provide the stable power supply needed for future Moon missions, especially during the roughly two-week-long lunar night when solar energy is unavailable. The US is aiming to return astronauts to the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years. Under its Artemis programme, NASA plans to land a crew on the lunar surface in 2027. However, the timeline has already been pushed back multiple times and it remains unclear whether US President Donald Trump will continue to support the effort.

SpaceX launches 28 new Starlink satellites
QNA Washington SpaceX, the American Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, launched 28 novel Starlink satellites into space. In a statement, the company said that a Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, carrying the satellites into low-Earth orbit. The launch was successful approximately 64 minutes after liftoff. This marks SpaceX's 96th Falcon 9 mission since the beginning of this year. The statement added that the first stage of the rocket successfully returned to Earth approximately 8.5 minutes after liftoff, as planned, landing on a SpaceX floating platform in the Atlantic Ocean. This is the 21st flight of this particular booster rocket, known as the B-1080, and 15 of these missions were Starlink launches. The Starlink project is the largest satellite constellation ever assembled, comprising over 8,000 satellites operating within a network covering most of the globe, providing high-speed internet service from any location where a Starlink receiver can be pointed toward the sky, with the exception of the polar regions.

NASA, India launch satellite to track movement of Earth's surface
dpa New Delhi The US space agency NASA has launched a satellite into space in collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) designed to measure changes on the Earth's surface at levels of precision previously unknown. The data could help to identify natural hazards and better track sea ice and glaciers, both agencies said on Wednesday. The Earth observation satellite lifted off on Wednesday afternoon aboard an Indian launch vehicle at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on the south-eastern coast of India, live images on NASA's YouTube channel showed. The rocket successfully placed the satellite into its intended orbit, said ISRO Chairman V Narayanan. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission is planned for a basic duration of three years. From a low orbit at an altitude of 747 kilometres, the satellite is set to measure the movements of the Earth's surface twice every 12 days, once the 90-day commissioning phase in space is completed. 'This kind of regular observation allows us to look at how Earth's surface moves across nearly the entire planet,' said NASA researcher and NISAR applications lead Cathleen Jones. According to NASA, land and ice surfaces can be observed like never before. Movements of fractions of centimetres can be detected, it said, adding that this capability will be particularly useful in areas surrounding volcanoes or faults that are obscured by vegetation. However, the satellite cannot predict earthquakes, said the mission's geoscience lead, Mark Simons. 'Instead, it will help us better understand which areas of the world are most susceptible to significant earthquakes,' Simons said in a statement posted on NASA's website To achieve the intended level of detail, the satellite is equipped with two radar instruments, each developed by ISRO and NASA. The synthetic aperture radar, which operates at long wavelengths, can reportedly capture measurements regardless of weather conditions, both day and night, and see through clouds that can obstruct the view of optical devices. This is the first collaboration between NASA and ISRO in the field of hardware development.
