Artemis I Orion Spacecraft Returns to Kennedy Space Center
The Orion spacecraft that completed the 1.4-million-mile Artemis I objective beyond the Moon and back, has been safely obtained from the Pacific Ocean and carried back to NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft will go through post-flight analysis ahead of the first crewed flight of Orion on Artemis II.

Perseverance Rover Deposits First Sample on Mars Surface
NASAs Perseverance rover just recently transferred a titanium tube, filled with a rock sample, onto the surface area of Mars. It is the first of about 10 sample tubes the rover is expected to ultimately leave at an area on Mars called “Three Forks.” Test tubes dropped off there might be gone back to Earth by the future Mars Sample Return project.

NASA Retires InSight Mars Lander Mission
Mission managers have actually ended the InSight mission on Mars after successive attempts to get in touch with the spacecraft stopped working. InSight invested more than four years gathering unique science about the interior layers of Mars that is assisting us better understand all rocky planets, including Earth.
