The potential of the International Space Station (ISS) crashing into Earth has NASA on high alert, more so after astronauts encountered a hazardous ammonia blob during a spacewalk. NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara conducted an all-woman spacewalk, lasting about 6.5 hours, for maintenance upgrades on the ISS. Meanwhile, China launched its Tianhui-5 satellite, marking the 494th mission of its Long March rocket series, and initiated its 40th Antarctic expedition to establish its fifth research base.
