On Sept. 21, 2025, GOES-19’s CCOR-1 coronagraph recorded a natural lunar eclipse. The Moon’s trajectory appeared curved due to a satellite yaw-flip. Unlike L1-based coronagraphs, GOES-19’s orbit enabled this rare capture, helping scientists refine imaging systems and improve understanding of the Sun’s corona.

NASA has partnered with Arkisys to extend the Astrobee robotic mission aboard the ISS. The free-flying robots are set to support future exploration by performing spacecraft maintenance and assisting astronauts. The collaboration sustains a platform vital for testing new technologies in microgravity as NASA prepares missions to the Moon and Mars.

Researchers in China have unveiled RoboFalcon 2.0, a bird-inspired robot with flapping, sweeping, and folding wing motions. Unlike earlier versions, it can achieve self-takeoff and maintain flight at low speeds. Tested in wind tunnels and real-world trials, the design showed improved control and reduced strain on lift. While limitations remain, such as hovering ability and energy efficiency, scientists say the advance opens new possibilities for avian-inspired robotics.

NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, launching in 2025, will capture ultraviolet light from hydrogen atoms to map Earth’s faint geocorona. Operating a million miles sunward, it will study how solar activity drives atmospheric loss, improves satellite protection, and reveals clues to planetary habitability, providing critical insight for future crewed and robotic missions.
