NASA's New Satellite Duo Begins Tracking Mysterious Auroral Electrojets
The EZIE mission is shaping up to be a breakthrough in space weather research. Launched in March 2025, its three satellites are now orbiting Earth and collecting data on auroral electrojets, massive energy currents near the poles. Scientists believe the results could lead to better forecasting tools and stronger, safer satellite systems.

Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Expose 1,620 km of New Coastline Since 2000
Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 kilometres of new coastline, altering the Arctic’s geography. Satellite data from 2000 to 2020 tracked these changes, showing significant ice loss. The study also identified 35 newly exposed islands, some of which remain unclaimed on existing maps. Scientists warn o...

Rocket Lab Deploys Eight Satellites to Boost Global Wildfire Monitoring
Rocket Lab successfully launched eight satellites into orbit for OroraTech on March 26. The mission, "Finding Hot Wildfires Near You," aims to improve real-time wildfire detection through thermal infrared imaging. The satellites will join OroraTech’s existing network, operating at a 97-degree inclination, 550 km above Earth. CEO Martin Langer hig...

NASA to Launch Three Rockets in Alaska to Study Auroral Substorms’ Impact
NASA is conducting a rocket experiment from Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska. Three rockets will launch within a three-hour window to study how auroral substorms influence the Earth's upper atmosphere. Scientists will observe whether auroras drive vertical convection or if acoustic-buoyancy waves spread their energy over a wider region. Vapour t...

Rocket Lab Launches Final Five Satellites for Kinéis' IoT Constellation
Rocket Lab has successfully launched the last five satellites for Kinéis' "Internet of Things" constellation. The mission, called "High Five," took off on March 17 from the company's New Zealand site. The Electron rocket deployed the satellites into a 404-mile orbit, completing the 25-satellite network. This system enhances global connectivity by ...

ISRO’s NVS-02 Satellite Stalls in Orbit Due to Technical Malfunction
A technical issue has stalled the orbit-raising operations of ISRO’s NVS-02 satellite, launched on January 29. While solar panels are functioning and communication is stable, the oxidizer valves have failed to open, preventing thruster activation. Tracking data indicates the satellite remains in its initial orbit. ISRO is assessing alternative wa...
