https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-10-05-nasa-retrieves-asteroid-samples-from-probe.html

October 05, 2023 -

The Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) probe was launched on Sept. 8, 2016, and traveled to the near-Earth asteroid known as Bennu.

OSIRIS-REx collected a sample of rocks and dust from the surface of this asteroid and then made the long journey back to Earth.

The OSIRIS-REx landed at 10:52 a.m. Eastern Time on Sept. 24 in a Department of Defense-managed targeted area at the Utah Test and Training ...

NASA asteroid deflection test accidentally creates a BOULDER SWARM that could impact the Earth with as much energy as the Hiroshima detonation

August 11, 2023 -

In September 2022, NASA conducted its first "planetary defense" experiment known as the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), with the goal of intentionally crashing a spacecraft into the asteroid known as Dimorphos in an attempt to change its trajectory.

NASA astronomers at the time concluded that the project was an amazing success, and Dimorphos' trajectory was changed slightly. The success of DART proved to scientists that there could be a way to save the Earth ...

Scientists design a new spacecraft, called a HAMMER, to carry nukes to incoming asteroids that threaten Earth

https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-04-07-scientists-design-a-new-spacecraft-hammer-to-carry-nukes-to-incoming-asteroids.html

April 07, 2018 -

HAMMER stands for Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response. Each unmanned vehicle is expected to weigh around eight tons, which is less than the old Apollo spacecraft or the successor Orion system.

The American researchers published their conceptual asteroid deflection spacecraft in the journal Acta Astronautica. They will be presenting it at an asteroid-research conference in May.

Their study called for the deployment of a group of HAMMERs ...

It is still unclear what the spacecraft ...

NASA updates its plan to deflect potentially hazardous Earth-bound asteroids

https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-08-26-nasa-updates-plan-deflect-potentially-hazardous-earth-bound-asteroids.html

August 26, 2018 - asteroid deflection spacecraft would be fully automated. Human astronauts are, in fact, not needed to save the Earth. (Related: Ancient stone carvings depict a massive comet strike 13,000 years ago that nearly made humans extinct.)NASA is working to achieve the five goals of its asteroid deflection plan

The new plan encompassed five objectives. The first goal is a NASA-led effort to improve the ability of the U.S. to spot, follow, and identify near-Earth asteroids....

April 17, 2018 -

That's why researchers from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have been working as part of a national planetary defense team, and it is now reported that so far, they have managed to design a conceptual spacecraft that's meant to deflect any and all Earth-bound asteroids. After finishing the work on their initial design, they evaluated it to understand how it could work against a massive asteroid. The results of the research, details and all, were recently shared ...

2 Astronauts onboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft are stranded in space

https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-07-10-astronauts-boeing-starliner-spacecraft-stuck-in-space.html

July 10, 2024 -

Two astronauts onboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft are currently stranded in space.

U.S. astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore have now spent more than a month in the International Space Station (ISS) as engineers work out the problems with Starliner. The two astronauts were only supposed to be on a short test flight to the ISS.

After two trips to the launchpad that ended in scrubs because of technical difficulties, such as a helium leak in ...

Titanium tires used in spacecraft now being redeveloped for Earth bicycles

https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-02-10-titanium-spacecraft-tires-redeveloped-for-earth-bicycles.html

February 10, 2022 -

The SMART Tire Company has adapted the federal space agency's "smart memory alloy" (SMA) tire technology for bicycles. The result is a revolutionary product called Martensite Elasticized Tubular Loading (METL) tires, which boast of a rubber-like tread for extra traction. According to the firm, METL bicycle tires that use the technology will never go flat or need air.

"Cyclists will not be able to wait to get their hands on these very cool-looking, space-age METL tires ...

Scientists use nanoparticles as an alternative propulsion method for small spacecraft

https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-09-16-nanoparticles-alternative-propulsion-method-small-spacecraft.html

September 16, 2020 -

Carrying propellant, however, brings its own set of problems. Not only is the chemical highly flammable, but it also takes up a lot of space, which is problematic when designing a small spacecraft.

In a bid to address some of these problems, researchers at the University of Illinois (U of I) and the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) developed a new method of propulsion for small spacecraft that uses nanoparticles as its propellant.Nanoparticles instead ...

China launches spacecraft that will explore the hidden side of the moon

https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-05-16-china-launches-spacecraft-explore-hidden-side-moon.html

May 16, 2024 -

The May 3 launch is the first of three "technically demanding missions" that will lay the foundations for an inaugural Chinese-crewed landing and a base on the lunar south pole.

Since the first Chang'e mission in 2007, named after a lunar deity in Chinese mythology, China has made significant advances in its lunar exploration. The country has quickly narrowed its technological gap with the United States and Russia.

Back in 2020, China brought back samples from the ...

Scientists at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL) found these mega-ripples by means of seismic imaging carried out by a petroleum firm. They looked at soil 5,000 feet below the surface of central Louisiana and found the 50-feet-high ripples spaced half a mile apart. According to the scientists, these ripples were the imprint of the tidal waves that spread out from the asteroid's impact crater.

Furthermore, the UL scientists said the orientation of the ripples ...

‘Oumuamua asteroid may be alien technology, hints study

https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-08-21-oumuamua-possibly-alien-technology.html

August 21, 2020 -

Proponents of the other theory suggest that the interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua, is a comet that is partly or entirely made up of hydrogen molecules. This could explain why astronomers were not able to detect a basic feature of a comet: a coma or a comet’s tail.

But the researchers said that this explanation ignores the fact that if ‘Oumuamua is indeed a hydrogen comet, it would have evaporated midway or early into its journey.

“We were suspicious that hydrogen ...

NASA releases images of ancient interstellar comet after shutdown fueled alien spacecraft theories

https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-11-21-nasa-releases-images-ancient-comet-alien.html

November 21, 2025 -

After weeks of government-imposed silence, NASA has finally released information about one the most captivating cosmic visitors in recent history. The space agency has released a cache of new images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, emphatically stating the object is a natural comet and not an alien spacecraft. The highly anticipated data, captured by a fleet of NASA spacecraft including the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, had been delayed by the recent ...

Astrophysicist suggests mysterious interstellar object racing toward the sun could be alien spacecraft

https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-07-07-astrophysicist-interstellar-object-sun-alien-spacecraft.html

July 07, 2025 -

A 12-mile-wide interstellar object dubbed 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed visitor from beyond our solar system, is speeding toward the sun at 150,000 mph, sparking renewed debate among scientists. Could this enigmatic traveler be artificial in origin, or is it simply another cosmic interloper?

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, known for his controversial stance on the interstellar object ‘Oumuamua, suggests its extreme brightness might hint at "artificial ...
