Preventing Space Junk from Cluttering the Moon With lunar missions set to surge, Japan is pushing early rules to prevent space debris from turning Earth’s orbiting junk problem into a permanent problem around the Moon.

Space junk in low-earth orbit is menacing and debilitating.

Wouldn't it be nice to learn our lesson and not do the same around the Moon?

China Targets New Milestones in Space Station Growth and Lunar Exploration for 2026 Aviation News – China’s manned space program is poised for a milestone year in 2026, with the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) announcing plans for three missions to the national space station and significant progress toward an eventual crewed lunar landing. In 2026, the CMSA will facilitate two crewed missions and one cargo delivery to maintain its orbit-based outpost. This cycle includes the historic integration of astronauts from Hong Kong and Macao, marking a geographic expansion of the program’s participant pool.

US Senate Panel Moves to Extend ISS Life, Mandates Faster Artemis Moon Base Plans U.S. lawmakers are preparing to extend the operational life of the International Space Station by two years, giving commercial space companies more time to develop a successor while reinforcing American leadership against China’s expanding space ambitions. The proposal will be reviewed on March 4 by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, which plans to amend a broader…

NASA Delays Artemis II Moon Mission After Hydrogen Leak Discovered During Final Rocket Test Aviation News – NASA has postponed the launch of its Artemis II Moon mission to March after engineers detected a hydrogen fuel leak during final pre-launch testing, giving crews more time to analyze and repair the issue before flight. The delay follows a “wet dress rehearsal” conducted earlier this week in which NASA teams fueled the Space Launch System rocket with roughly 700,000 gallons of super-cold liquid propellant to simulate launch conditions.
