A series of experiments on board China’s space station have for the first time produced oxygen and the ingredients for rocket fuel – key steps that are considered essential for human survival and the future exploration of space.

The Shenzhou-19 crew aboard the Tiangong space station successfully conducted the world’s first in-orbit demonstration of artificial photosynthesis technology, producing oxygen, as well as the ingredients necessary for rocket fuel, paving the way for long-term space exploration, including a crewed moon landing before 2030.

Shenzhou-19 astronauts simulate natural photosynthesis, bringing long-haul crewed missions a step closer to reality.

Blue Origin’s NS-29 mission will simulate the Moon’s gravity, testing 30 payloads focused on lunar tech. In partnership with NASA, the flight will provide critical data on six lunar technology areas: in-situ resource utilization, dust mitigation, habitation systems, sensors, small spacecraft, and entry descent/landing. For the first time, the New Shepard crew capsule will spin at 11 RPM, simulating lunar gravity, helping to lower the cost of space access. This testing supports NASA’s Artemis program, advancing innovation for future lunar exploration.

The Blue Ghost lunar lander has captured its first images of the moon from the spacecraft’s orbit around Earth, the Texas-based company Firefly Aerospace announced this week.

The two images — which the company posted Monday on the social media platform X — features a view of the moon from the top deck of the 6.6-foot-tall (2-meter-tall) lunar lander as well as a snapshot of the celestial orb on its own.

As the spacecraft continues its journey to the moon, with an expected landing date of March 2, Firefly plans to provide regular mission updates, the company said.
