On March 4, 2022, an unidentified rocket booster impacted the far side of the Moon near its Hertzsprung crater. The far side of the Moon permanently faces away from the Earth because it is tidally locked to the Earth. After years in a Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) the booster made a series of lunar flybys that put it on a collision course with the Moon. Check out this article for the full story on the space debris impact.

The Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway1 is proposed as an outpost in deep space: a proving ground for deep space technologies and a staging location for missions beyond Earth orbit. Envisioned as a crew-tended spacecraft, the Gateway will be constructed over time as various components are delivered either as co-manifested payloads with Orion or independently without crew presence. Naturally, spacecraft and objects with a wide range of shapes and masses will also depart the Gateway for other destinations. Read this white paper to learn about the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway and Disposal, Deployment, and Debris in Near Rectilinear Halo Orbits.

In 2020 the United States Space Force (USSF) released an implementation of the SGP4-XP propagator, an advanced version of the existing SGP4 propagator stated to deliver accuracy roughly equivalent to that of the USSF’s Special Perturbations Ephemeris propagator (SPEPH) with runtimes only 50% to 100% longer than SGP4. This paper presents an analysis of the performance characteristics of the SGP4-XP propagation algorithm and considers new and existing practical applications where it can be used more effectively than SGP4.
