As we all wait in anticipation for India's first successful landing on the Moon, it's important to remember friends who are helping India in this ambitious endeavour.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) are supporting India, particularly during the tricky landing.
It was at this stage that Chandrayaan-2 had failed.
Since the launch of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on July 14, the NASA and ESA ground stations have been monitoring the spacecraft’s health.
NASA's Deep Space Network is providing telemetry and tracking coverage during the powered descent phase from their Deep Space Stations at Canberra and Madrid.
Astronomers Witness , Merger of 2 Black Holes, From the 'Cosmic Dawn'.
'The Independent' reports that NASA's
Webb Space Telescope has made the most
distant detection of merging black holes. .
Two gigantic black holes and the galaxies that they stood
at the center of merged together just 740 million years
after the universe was formed in the Big Bang.
One of the black holes is a staggering 50 million
times larger than our Sun, and the other
is believed to be a similar gigantic size. .
Astronomers have long wondered how supermassive black holes are so big. .
Lead author Hannah Ubler of the University of Cambridge
says the findings suggest that mergers like this ancient
example show how black holes are able to grow so rapidly.
According to Ubler, the latest Webb
discovery also suggests that black holes
have been merging since the "cosmic dawn.".

In 2021, NASA launched Webb, intended
to replace the Hubble Space Telescope.

to re-double safety checks and protocols. .
The failed launch last week would have been
the first human space flight for Boeing but was
scrubbed after a faulty valve was discovered. .
The Associated Press reported that the fluttering oxygen
pressure-relief valve on United Launch Alliance’s Atlas
rocket may have exceeded its 200,000 lifetime cycles. .
The ValveTech statement questions how
NASA, Aerojet and Boeing could have... .
... "qualified this valve for the mission
without proper supporting data or
previous history or legacy information.".
According to ValveTech, this , "goes against aerospace-industry
qualification protocols established by NASA."

Boeing called off its first astronaut launch, ferrying two NASA test pilots to the International Space Station, because of a valve problem on its Starliner capsule. But if engineers find a solution quickly, another countdown could be expected in the next 24-hours.
