"Captivating Spaceflight Images: October's Stellar Trek to the Stars"

October was an eventful month in spaceflight and exploration, with highlights including NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission revealing traces of high-carbon content and water in asteroid samples, Juno spacecraft capturing images of Jupiter's volcanic moon Io, SpaceX's successful landing of a side booster during the Psyche mission, a wet dress rehearsal for the Ariane 6 rocket, and the unveiling of Space Force's first official painting depicting a retrofuturistic spaceplane. Additionally, Russian cosmonauts had to evacuate the International Space Station during a spacewalk due to a coolant leak, and NASA's Artemis program made progress with the mounting of all four RS-25 core stage engines onto Core Stage-2.
