Beyond the Rocket: The Digital Infrastructure of the Artemis II Mission When Artemis II lifts off the world will see a rocket; it won't see the layered digital architecture—flight software, mission‑operations networks, ground systems and data pipelines—that enables navigation, crew support and communications. This piece examines those unseen systems and how they underpin the crewed lunar flyby.

NOIRLab Rubin Alert Follow‑ups Enable First Detections — Four Supernovae Found NSF NOIRLab completed end-to-end runs of its Rubin follow-up ecosystem, demonstrating how NOIRLab-developed software and a global telescope network will enable rapid follow-up of alerts from the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The exercises produced first detections: four supernovae identified.

A dedicated software strategy for Artemis, lunar operations and U.S. space defense NASA’s Artemis missions and Gateway plans will place life‑support, guidance, manual control and mission‑operations software at the center of crewed deep‑space flights. A unified software strategy is needed to coordinate development, verification, reuse and cyber resilience across exploration and defense programs.

G3 geomagnetic storm sends auroras worldwide — northern lights dazzle far beyond the poles (photos) Powerful G3 geomagnetic storms pushed the aurora far beyond polar regions, producing vivid northern lights visible across much of the globe and prompting widespread photo coverage. The event highlights how solar-driven space weather creates striking displays and, at higher intensities, can affect space and ground systems.

NASA shifts crew-transport duties to SpaceX Starship, trims Boeing's role in Artemis NASA is revising its Artemis moon-landing plans, reducing Boeing’s role while assigning SpaceX’s Starship the job of propelling astronauts to lunar orbit. People familiar with the matter say the change reallocates primary crew-transport responsibilities from Boeing’s SLS-related systems to Starship.
