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.".

have been shaping
the evolution of galaxies
from the very beginning, Hannah Ubler, lead author from the University

In 2021, NASA launched Webb, intended
to replace the Hubble Space Telescope.
Webb is the largest and most powerful
observatory ever launched into space. .

Contractor Warns of , Potential Catastrophe if NASA , Goes Ahead With Scheduled Launch.
IEN reports that a NASA contractor has publicly
urged the space agency to reconsider an
upcoming launch, warning it could end in disaster.
The news comes after the initial launch
of Boeing's Starliner was scrapped as
the result of a leaky valve just last week. .

The company issued a press release
warning that a second launch
attempt could end in catastrophe. .
The statement from ValveTech
President Erin Faville called for NASA
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.

NASA Reestablishes , Connection With Distant , Voyager 1 Space Probe.
The news comes after engineers at
the agency worked for months
attempting to fix the 46-year-old probe.
In December, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
said that the probe, now a staggering 15 billion miles
away from Earth, was transmitting gibberish code. .
On April 23, the JPL announced that
the team was once again receiving
usable data from the spacecraft.
Currently, the probe is only
transmitting data regarding the status
of the ship's engineering systems.
The next step is to enable
the spacecraft to begin
returning science data again, JPL statement, via 'The Guardian'.
'The Guardian' reports that Voyager 1 has been in
operation for nearly half a century after launching
in 1977 with the goal of studying Jupiter and Saturn.
In August of 2012, Voyager crossed into
interstellar space, becoming the first
human-made object to leave the solar system.
The probe is currently traveling at a staggering
36,800 miles per hour through space.
NASA plans to collect data from the two
Voyager spacecraft for a few more years,
but the space agency expects to lose
contact with the probes within the next decade
