== ''Downlink'' special issues notice ==

Hello! This is an announcement that ''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Spaceflight/Downlink|The Downlink]]'' has been revived. Rather than simply start again, I have chosen to create two special issues recapping the past three years. The first special issue spans November 2021 to December 2023, while the second special issue spans January 2024 to December 2024.

Due to the size of these pages, as well as the fact that they are non-standard issues, I have instead had this notice sent out. The following issues of volume 3 (Jan - Dec 2025) should be significantly smaller.

Please be aware that, for a variety of reasons, the issues that I create may be published late.

Here are the issues:

*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Spaceflight/Downlink/2024/December|First special issue]]

*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Spaceflight/Downlink/Second Special Issue|Second special issue]]

----
:Initially launched in late 2010/early 2011 for a run of four months, ''The Downlink'' was unpublished for more than nine years, after which a second volume was published from October 2020 to October 2021. This second volume was very different from the first volume, both in style and structure. A [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Spaceflight/Downlink/2021/December|December issue]] was planned (for some reason, the second volume became volume 1 in April 2021), but was never finished. Like with volume 2, this volume 3 was intended to come with changes, though primarily to style.
:Volume 3 will not feature any significant changes to style or structure. This both provides continuity with the previous volume and allows the contributors to construct each issue relatively easily. However, following volumes may see changes to style, format, and upload schedule. As it is still very early in the year, a discussion on this is not yet necessary, but suggestions of all kinds are always welcome at [[WT:DNL|the talk page]].

*[[Firefly Aerospace]] became the first commercial company to successfully achieve a soft landing on the moon on 2 March with the landing of [[Blue Ghost Mission 1]] near [[Mons Latreille]]. It lasted the intended length of one [[lunar day]] before losing power on 16 March. It was launched with the [[Hakuto-R Mission 2]] lander ''Resilience'' and rover ''Tenacious'', which are planned to land in the [[Mare Frigoris]].
*On 6 March, the [[IM-2]] mission's lunar lander ''Athena'' landed on [[Mons Mouton]]. Although intact, it landed sideways, preventing it from generating enough power to operate as designed. The mission was declared over the following day.
*[[SpaceX Crew-9]] splashed down near [[Tallahassee, Florida]] on 18 March. Initially planned to launch with a full complement, the extension of [[Barry Wilmore]] and [[Sunita Williams]]' stay on the [[International Space Station|ISS]] resulted in it being launched with only two crew members.

The [[InSight]] (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) lander was selected from among three options in August 2012. Initially planned to launch in March 2016, an instrument issue delayed the launch to May 2018, the next Earth-Mars [[launch window]]. It was successfully launched on 5 May, and landed on [[Elysium Planitia]] on 26 November 2018. Taking seismographic and thermographic readings, InSight operated for a total of 4 years and 19 days instead of its planned 2 year mission. The mission was declared over on 21 December, 2022 after contact was lost on 15 December. A re-analysis of some of its data indicates that there may be significant amounts of groundwater in Mars' crust.

The stage shown here is from the April 2016 [[SpaceX CRS-8]] mission, after landing on the [[autonomous spaceport drone ship]] ''Of Course I Still Love You''.

This image shows the ISS following the installation of the [[External stowage platform#ESP-2|second External stowage platform]]. ESP-2 was launched on 26 July 2005 on board ''[[Space Shuttle Discovery|Discovery]]'' as part of [[STS-114]].
