A new issue of The Planetary Report brings you our pride in the success of
LightSail 2 and our gratitude to our members for making it happen. Plus

defense.

Where We Are

We lost and gained spacecraft at the Moon last quarter. India’s
Chandrayaan-2 left Earth orbit for the Moon on 13 August, and its Vikram
lander aims at a 7 September touchdown. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter just
celebrated its tenth launch anniversary. China’s smallsat Longjiang-2
crashed on 31 July, ending its successful mission.

Why I Explore

I explore space because I like feeling insignificant. I crave a dark night
sky that reminds me that our Sun and even our galaxy are not unique. I find
comfort in thinking about countless generations of humans looking at the
same sky and asking questions similar to the ones I ask.

Vishnu Reddy delivers a sober but hopeful report on our understanding of
near-Earth objects, their dangers, and our readiness.
