The Axiom Space Ax-4 mission concluded as SpaceX’s Dragon capsule Grace brought four astronauts back to Earth after more than 2.5 weeks on the ISS. Commanded by Peggy Whitson, the crew conducted 60 experiments. The capsule safely splashes down in the Pacific Ocean, marking SpaceX’s second West Coast crew recovery.

A groundbreaking study from University College London and the University of Cambridge reveals that water ice in space, long believed to be completely amorphous due to extreme cold, may actually contain up to 25% crystalline structure. Simulations and X-ray diffraction experiments confirm the presence of nanocrystals in so-called low-density amorphous ice. This surprising finding has significant implications for our understanding of planetary formation, galactic evolution, and how life’s essential ingredients may have traveled to Earth on interstellar ice grains.

In response to severe flooding near Kerrville, Texas, NASA deployed two aircraft equipped with DyNAMITE and UAVSAR sensors. These tools deliver real-time, high-resolution imagery and radar data to aid FEMA and local authorities in search, rescue, and recovery operations.

NASA’s DART mission successfully deflected an asteroid but also unleashed high-velocity boulders with unexpected momentum. These chaotic ejecta may alter asteroid spin and orbit, complicating future deflection strategies. A new study highlights the importance of accounting for such forces in planetary defence. ESA’s Hera mission will further investigate the aftermath when it reaches Dimorphos in 2026.
