China ’s Chang’e 6 mission successfully returned samples from the far side of the Moon.

The European Space Agency , or ESA , plans to conduct an orbital test flight of its Space Rider spaceplane in the third quarter of 2025 .

China 's Tianwen-2 mission is an ambitious asteroid sample return comet probe mission.

Several space agencies plan to perform exciting deep-space flyby missions in 2025 .

A flyby, or gravity assist, is when a spacecraft passes close enough to a planet or moon to use its gravity for a speed boost.

As the spacecraft approaches, it gets pulled in by the planet’s gravity, which helps it accelerate.

After swinging around the planet, the spacecraft is flung back into space, allowing it to change direction and continue on its intended path using less fuel.
