NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter: Celebrating 13 Years at the Moon!
This year, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) celebrates its 13th anniversary orbiting the Moon. This mission has given scientists the largest volume of data ever collected by a planetary science mission at NASA. Considering that success and the continuing functionality of the spacecraft and its instruments, NASA has awarded the mission an extended mission phase to continue operations. This is LRO's 5th extended science mission (ESM5), and during this time there will be 4 major areas of focus. This video dives into those details and shows how LRO continues to be one of NASA's most valuable tools for advancing lunar science.

Cygnus Departure | International Space Station

"Last night on ISS for Cygnus! Vehicle is fully loaded, hatch is closed, robotic arm has grappled it for unberthing early tomorrow morning. Thanks for bringing us supplies, for the orbit reboost and….last but not least….for taking our trash! Mission Minerva."
The Expedition 67 crew on the International Space Station said farewell to a U.S. cargo craft on Tuesday morning, June 28, 2022, and is planning for the arrival of another resupply ship in mid-July.
Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus space freighter completed its four-month cargo mission attached to the Unity module after the Canadarm2 robotic arm released it into Earth orbit at 7:07 a.m. EDT on Tuesday morning. The trash-filled commercial cargo craft will descend into Earth’s atmosphere and burn up safely above the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday. Cygnus delivered over 8,300 pounds of science and supplies when it arrived for capture and installation to Unity on Feb. 21, 2022.

China's Taikonaut, Wang Yaping, Found 'Beauty and Tranquility' on Space Mission
The Shenzhou-13 crew members held their first press conference since returning from space 74 days ago in Beijing on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. The three Chinese astronauts briefed the media on their health status and experiences on their 6-month orbital mission on China's Tiangong Space Station. Wang Yaping, the female taikonaut of the Shenzhou-13 manned mission, said she was deeply touched by the "beauty and tranquility" of the universe.
Wang Yaping is China's second female astronaut or taikonaut. On November 7, 2021, Wang Yaping became China's first female spacewalker. Wang became China's second female spacefarer as a member of the Shenzhou 10 spaceship crew when it orbited the Earth in June 2013.
China's Tiangong Space Station is expected to be fully assembled in 2022.

The People at Rocket Lab Behind NASA's CAPSTONE Moon Mission
Rocket Lab: "Going to the Moon is no small feat. Our team has been working on the historic CAPSTONE mission for more than 2 years, developing innovative tech to help us explore the Moon and beyond with small sats. Here is just a tiny glimpse of our incredible people behind the mission."
CAPSTONE (Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment) is a new small satellite that will explore a unique orbit around the Moon, and blaze a trail for future lunar exploration. CAPSTONE will test a near-rectilinear halo orbit around the Moon and lead the way for our future Artemis lunar space station, called Gateway.
CAPSTONE is scheduled to launch on June 28 at 5:55 a.m. EDT (9:55 UTC) on a Rocket Lab Electron rocket from the company’s Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. Watch live June 28 at 5 a.m. EDT (9 UTC) on NASA TV: NASA.gov/NASATV and on NASA social media.

Globular Cluster NGC 6569: An Astronomical Treasure Trove | Hubble
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures the sparkling globular cluster NGC 6569 in the constellation Sagittarius. Hubble explored the heart of this cluster with both its Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys, revealing a glittering hoard of stars in this astronomical treasure trove.
Globular clusters are stable, tightly bound clusters containing tens of thousands to millions of stars, and are associated with all types of galaxies. The intense gravitational attraction of these closely packed clusters of stars means that globular clusters have a regular spherical shape with a densely populated center—as can be seen in the heart of this star-studded image.
This observation comes from an investigation of globular clusters which lie close to the center of the Milky Way. These objects have been avoided in previous surveys, as the dust spread throughout the center of our galaxy blocks light from these globular clusters and alters the colors of the stars residing in them. The last factor is particularly important for astronomers studying stellar evolution, as the colors of stars can give astronomers insights into their ages, compositions, and temperatures.
The astronomers who proposed these observations combined data from Hubble with data from astronomical archives, allowing them to measure the ages of globular clusters including NGC 6569. Their research also provided insights into the structure and density of globular clusters towards the center of the Milky Way.

Our Earth: June 21, 2022: Summer Solstice | NOAA/NASA DSCOVR
These color views of Earth were taken on June 21, 2022, on the summer solstice by the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope from one million miles away—beyond the Moon's orbit.
Earth orbits at an angle, so half the year, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun—this is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The other half of the year, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, creating winter in the north and summer in the south.
Solstices happen twice per year, at the points in Earth’s orbit where this tilt is most pronounced. These days are the longest (in the summer hemisphere) and shortest (in the winter hemisphere) of the year, and mark the change of seasons to summer and winter, respectively.
The Deep Space Climate Observatory is a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) space weather, space climate, and Earth observation satellite at the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point. It was launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on February 11, 2015, from Cape Canaveral in Florida. This is NOAA's first operational deep space satellite and became its primary system of warning Earth in the event of solar magnetic storms. [Wikipedia]
