A daunting, three-hour presentation to NASA leadership about the MAVEN Mars orbiter's future was supposed to be the biggest challenge for the mission team early this year. But just as the presentation was going smoothly on Earth, the spacecraft itself was in serious trouble millions of miles away.
"We did get close to losing the spacecraft," one scientist tells Space.com.
NASA has picked Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace to build the new spacesuits the agency needs for Artemis moon missions and aboard the International Space Station.
The space agency plans to pay up to $3.5 billion total through 2034 for the new spacesuit contracts.

Following half a year of commissioning in space, NASA will release the first operational images taken by the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope on July 12, the agency announced today.
While Webb officials are still keeping those first imaging targets secret, the agency emphasized that it took five years of work among the several participating space agencies to decide what those first images will show.
It sounds like the premise of a bad sci-fi movie: There's some mysterious entity, beyond the boundaries of our galaxy, that is pushing against us with incredible force. We don't know exactly what it is, and we don't know how long it's been there. But we do know its name: the dipole repeller.
The name may be a bit dorky, but it's a very real thing. It's also nothing to worry about - just a normal consequence of the usual process of structure formation that's been happening in the universe for 13.8 billion years.
