Satellite Trails Contaminate 73% of SPHEREx Space Telescope Images

73.3% of SPHEREx images from May to September last year contained satellite trails.
Average 2.18 trails per exposure, concentrated in X-patterns matching megaconstellation orbits.
Satellite brightness triggers SPHEREx's cosmic ray protection, creating railroad tracks in data.
Hubble also saw a rise in satellite trails from 2.8% to 5.9% between early 2000s and 2021.

NASA's X-59 Breaks Sound Barrier, Paving Way for Quiet Supersonic Flight

NASA's X-59 flew supersonic for the first time on June 5, 2026.
The aircraft reached Mach 1.1 (713 mph) during an 81-minute flight.
Test pilot Jim 'Clue' Less evaluated flying qualities at subsonic and supersonic speeds.
The X-59 is central to NASA's Quesst mission for quiet supersonic flight.

Hubble Could Get a New Lease on Life—If NASA Can Afford It

NASA Weighs Hubble Reboost Mission, But Cost Remains Key Hurdle

Hubble is predicted to reenter Earth's atmosphere by 2033 due to orbital decay.
NASA is considering a reboost mission to extend Hubble's life, but only if operating costs can be reduced.
A similar rescue mission for the Swift telescope is underway, demonstrating lower-cost reboost technology.
NASA's astrophysics division director emphasized the need to lower Hubble's operational costs before committing to a reboost.

Next-generation satellites turn to light to escape crowded radio bands

NASA’s MAVEN mission appears lost after 11 years at Mars

The supplied source text says NASA has declared MAVEN unrecoverable.
MAVEN was a long-running Mars mission focused on atmospheric evolution.
Losing an 11-year orbiter would end a valuable stream of long-term Mars observations.
The candidate metadata and source text conflict, so the article stays tightly limited to supported claims.
