Permanently shadowed craters near the Moon’s poles may preserve water ice that future crews could turn into oxygen and hydrogen-based rocket propellant, potentially supporting lunar bases and eventual Mars expeditions. NASA and IBM have now released an AI model trained on roughly two million lunar images spanning more than 30 data layers—and in testing, it outperformed other leading models at mapping where polar ice is most likely to remain stable.
12+ hour, 4+ min ago (1192+ words) NASA and IBM's open lunar model reduced error by roughly 22 percent on an ice-prospectivity benchmark, while predicting a model-derived stability map rather than measured ice deposits....
China Plans To Return Samples From Mars In 2031 After The U.S. Cancels Its Own Plans - AOL
21+ hour, 9+ min ago (527+ words) The Chinese mission to Mars is on pace to launch in 2028, and it may beat the U.S. back to Earth with soil samples, even though the U.S. is already there. In an interview with state media, Chinese scientist Hou Zengqian has confirmed…...
The First Moon Base Will Be Built by Cargo Missions Before Astronauts Arrive — Curiosmos
14+ hour, 34+ min ago (669+ words) The first permanent foothold on the Moon will not begin with a crew stepping out of a lander and planting a flag beside a finished habitat. It will begin with cargo arriving early, systems being tested in a place that…...
The Soviet Union Soft-Landed 8 Venera Spacecraft on the Surface of Venus Between 1970 and 1982, in 870 Degrees Fahrenheit and 92 Times Earth's Atmospheric Pressure. The United States Has Never Landed on Venus Once.
15+ hour, 42+ min ago (479+ words) America won the Moon, owns Mars, and has flown past everything else. On Venus it finished a distant second to a country that stopped existing in 1991....

20+ hour, 8+ min ago (32+ words) For thousands of years, the Moon was something humanity could only look at. People watched it from deserts, mountains, villages, cities, ships, and …...
Venus Moon Would Have Been Doomed From The Start, Says New Paper
1+ day, 40+ min ago (335+ words) Venus likely never had a moon and even if it did it would have soon been torn asunder by the planet’s own gravity, says prominent planetary astrophysicist....
Printing Homes on the Moon: Lunar Dust Transformed into Reconfigurable
22+ hour, 10+ min ago (755+ words) The dream of a permanent human presence on the Moon has always collided with a brutally simple problem: everything needed to build a lunar base would have to be carried there. Every kilogram of steel, concrete, plastic, or equipment launched…...
NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model Cuts Errors 23%
2+ day, 2+ hour ago (469+ words) NASA’s science team confirmed the model “is hosted publicly on Hugging Face for anyone to use, with the complete codebase available on GitHub for testing and experimentation.” That distribution pattern mirrors how IBM and NASA released their earlier Prithvi Earth-observation…...
