The European Space Agency (ESA) successfully established a transmission-reception optical link with NASA's Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment onboard its Psyche mission, located 265 million kilometers away,

NASA’s New Horizons probe, which hurtled past Pluto in 2015, demonstrates that it can sail through interstellar space using its onboard camera.

Ohio State students won NASA’s Human Lander Challenge for designing an AI-powered cryogenic refueling system for moon and Mars missions.

As the administration slashes spending on science, NASA is running low on new missions.

It ultimately was successful, with NASA correctly predicting that it is possible to redirect celestial objects. The asteroid known as Dimorphos was approximately the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the impact caused massive boulders to fly off, which were around one to seven metres in size.

The Senate appropriations committee initially voted in favor of a bill rejecting Trump's NASA budget cuts, but discussions are still ongoing.
