We cover key milestones, record-setting distance, and what post-flight inspections reveal for upcoming missions. ISS schedule and SpaceX CRS-34 - International Space Station operations ramp up with updated flight planning and the imminent SpaceX CRS-34 cargo run delivering major science investigations and critical spares. We break down what’s on Dragon, why these experiments matter, and what’s next for crew and cargo rotations in 2026. Robotic missions: Mercury, asteroids, Mars - A wave of robotic exploration is advancing planetary science: China’s Tianwen-2 prepares for asteroid operations and later a comet rendezvous, while ESA-JAXA’s BepiColombo closes in on Mercury. We also preview ESA’s Hera, JAXA’s MMX, and why these missions reshape planetary defense and origin stories. Fresh astronomy breakthroughs across universe - New observations are solving long-standing astrophysical puzzles, from gamma-Cas X-rays to star cluster evolution measured by Webb and Hubble. We also look at a reawakened supermassive black hole launching a million-light-year jet and what these results mean for how galaxies and stars evolve.…
