Beresheet2 will launch to the Moon in 2024. The mission will build on lessons learned from Beresheet1, which crashed on the Moon in 2019. Israeli non-profit SpaceIL says the mission will include two landers and one orbiter, and that children, students, and scientists around the world will be able to communicate with the orbiter and perform experiments.

The European Space Agency’s ExoMars 2016 mission still hasn’t found any methane on Mars. The findings come from data collected by the Trace Gas Orbiter spacecraft between 2018 and 2019 and support earlier preliminary results. Methane is produced naturally by both life and non-life processes and has been detected by other space missions. How much Martian methane exists and where it comes from is an area of active study.
A Northrop Grumman Cygnus supply spacecraft left the International Space Station on Wednesday.
