⚫️ BEST SPACE IMAGE ✨
…

NASA astronaut Megan McArthur, who is currently onboard the International Space Station, took this photograph of Tropical Storm Elsa as it reached Florida. McArthur got a great view of the churning storm from the station's orbit altitude of 250 miles (400 km). NASA also tracked the storm by obtaining high-definition hemispheric views of Earth using the NASA-NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite.

🚨 SPACE NEWS
…

The recent fall to Earth of a massive Chinese rocket has renewed concerns about the perils of space junk and one project from the European Space Agency might be able to help.

The European Space Agency (ESA) announced plans to launch a space debris removal mission in 2025 with the help of a Swiss start-up called ClearSpace. The mission, dubbed ClearSpace-1, will use an experimental, four-armed robot to capture a Vega Secondary Payload Adapter (Vespa) left behind by ESA's Vega launcher in 2013. The piece of space junk is located about 500 miles (800 kilometers) above Earth and weighs roughly 220 lbs. (100 kilograms).

"Think of all of the orbital captures that have occurred up until this point and they have all taken place with cooperative, fully-controlled target objects," Jan Wörner, ESA Director General at the time, said in a December statement from the space agency. "With space debris, by definition no such control is possible: instead the objects are adrift, often tumbling randomly."

🚨 SPACE NEWS
….

China's first-ever Mars rover will roll into action, if all goes according to plan.

The six-wheeled robot, part of China's Tianwen-1 mission, touched down Friday evening (May 14) on the vast Martian plain Utopia Planitia. The rover, known as Zhurong, has remained atop its landing platform ever since — but it won't for much longer.

Zhurong will spend its first seven to eight days on the Martian surface studying its surroundings and performing checkouts on its systems and instruments, China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported shortly after touchdown, citing an official at the China National Space Administration. If that schedule holds, the rover should roll down the lander's twin ramps and touch Mars' red dirt for the first time.
