๐ **Mission Name**: Falcon 9 Block 5 | Pandora / Twilight rideshare mission
๐๏ธ **Launch Date**: 2026-01-11T13:09:00Z
๐ **Rocket**: Falcon 9
๐ **Details**: The Pandora small satellite was selected in 2021 as an inaugural mission in NASAโs Astrophysics Pioneers Program. It includes a 0.45-meter telescope that will improve our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres by disentangling exoplanet signals from their host stars, as well as studying host star variability with long-duration observations of 20 unique planets through visible-light photometry and near-infrared spectroscopy.
Also launching on this launch are ride-share payloads under the "Falcon 9 Twilight mission" manifested by Exolaunch, including satellites from Spire Global and Kepler Communications.

Latest Space Breaking News: Stars that die off the beaten path
Link: https://phys.org/news/2026-01-stars-die-beaten-path.html
Summary: Astronomers have created a detailed forecast of where they expect to observe future stellar explosions in a nearby galaxy, opening a new window into how exploding stars shape the cosmos. Focusing on M33, a spiral galaxy about 2.7 million lightโyears away, this research combined new maps of cold atomic hydrogen gas from the U.S. National Science Foundation Very Large Array (NSF VLA) with millimeterโwave observations of molecular gas from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
