Kourou (AFP) Feb 18, 2026
"Stop. Danger of death. Work in progress."
This sign, written in Russian, is still hanging inside an office at the site where Russia once launched its Soyuz rockets from Europe's spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
However the jungle has been slowly reclaiming the launchpad on South America's northeastern coast ever since Russia hastily left in the aftermath of invading Ukraine in Februa

The results from our first visit to the "Nevado Sajama" drill location were intriguing enough to motivate our return to do a deeper dive into the minerals and compounds locked in this rock with SAM (the Sample Analysis at Mars instrument suite).
As explained in the last blog, that deeper dive involves using the second of two vials of a chemical reagent, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH)

For more than sixty years, astronomers have searched the sky for signs of advanced extraterrestrial technology, scanning the Milky Way for artificial radio transmissions, optical flashes and excess infrared heat.
Despite these efforts, no technosignature has been confirmed so far, a silence often attributed to the fact that only a tiny fraction of the cosmic search space has been explored.

Gravity feels stable in everyday life, but its strength varies across the surface of the planet, and it is weakest beneath Antarctica after accounting for Earth rotation. These subtle variations arise from differences in rock density deep inside the planet, and around Antarctica they create a pronounced gravity low that also affects regional sea level by allowing the nearby ocean surface to sit

REFERENCE
Where does this space news come from?
Every story on the EveryLaunch news feed is written by an outside outlet, like SpaceNews, NASASpaceflight, Space.com, ESA or Ars Technica. It comes in through the Spaceflight News API. EveryLaunch shows the outlet's own headline and summary and links to their site. The art on each card is drawn here from the outlet's name. EveryLaunch doesn't host, rewrite or republish article text.
How often is the spaceflight news feed updated?
EveryLaunch fetches the feed again every 30 minutes, and it's always newest first. Each card shows how long ago the story was filed. Hover over the time to see the exact publication time in UTC.
Can I filter space news by outlet or search for a topic?
Yes. The source buttons above the feed show one outlet at a time, and the search box matches words in headlines and summaries. Both go into the URL, like /news?source=SpaceNews or /news?q=starship, so you can bookmark or share a filtered feed.
Do these articles open on EveryLaunch or on the publisher's site?
Every headline opens the outlet's own page in a new tab. The reporting and its images belong to the outlet that wrote the story, so you read it there.
Where do I find launch dates rather than news?
On the launch pages. Each launch on the schedule has its own page with the pad, the rocket and the mission, and a live countdown once a day is set.
