The White House announced a plan to cancel over 50 #space missions as part of a devastating 46% cut to #NASA #science.
The proposal would likely eliminate thousands of jobs at an agency that has just launched astronauts to the #Moon for the first time in decades, and dozens of other space missions would see their operations reduced or slowly wound down to a halt.
The following missions are to be cancelled:
1. The Habitable Worlds Observatory being built to search for #life on dozens of Earth-like planets beyond our Solar System while addressing fundamental questions about our #Universe.
2. OSIRIS-APEX capitalizes on the exceptionally rare 2029 Earth flyby of the potentially hazardous #asteroid #Apophis to advance planetary defense strategies and reveal how Earth’s #gravity alters an asteroid’s surface and interior.
3. The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will deliberately search for signs of life on #Mars by analyzing the composition of samples collected from as deep as 2 meters below the surface.
4. The DAVINCI mission is an atmospheric probe that will be deployed to our sister planet, #Venus, and provide the first detailed measurements of the composition and chemistry of its #atmosphere.
5. Initially focusing on #Jupiter’s interior, atmosphere, and aurora, #Juno is already orbiting Jupiter and has expanded during its extended mission to be a full system explorer capable of investigating the Galilean satellites, rings, inner moons, radiation belts, and boundaries of Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
6. VERITAS will create unprecedented, global, high-resolution datasets of Venus designed to answer a fundamental question for rocky #planets: how did Earth and her twin Venus evolve into two entirely different examples of planetary #habitability?

"
Universität Bern an Mission zur Untersuchung des Asteroiden Apophis beteiligt
"
".. Die Universität Bern ist an der Mission mit der Kamera CHANCES beteiligt. Diese wird hochauflösende Bilder aufnehmen, um mögliche Veränderungen der Beschaffenheit und der Eigenschaften der Oberfläche von Apophis unter dem Einfluss der Anziehungskraft der Erde zu untersuchen. .."22.12.2025
