I appreciate your request, but I need to clarify an important limitation: I cannot actually search the web in real-time. I can only work with the search results that have been provided to me.
Based on the search results available, here's what I can tell you about current NASA satellite and space news:
NASA's Interstellar Comet Makes December Appearance
Comet 3I/ATLAS Returns for Skywatchers After Solar Passage
NASA's Psyche Mission is currently tracking an extraordinary interstellar comet that's making headlines this month. Comet 3I/ATLAS, first discovered by the NASA-funded ATLAS survey telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile on July 1, 2025, is now visible again after passing behind the Sun.
The comet had to pass too close to the Sun to observe safely through September 2025, but it has now reappeared on the other side of the Sun by early December 2025, allowing astronomers worldwide to resume observations. This provides a rare opportunity for skywatchers to observe an interstellar visitor with ground-based telescopes.
Other Recent NASA Space Developments
SpaceX and Starship Progress
In related space news, the U.S. Air Force has granted SpaceX permission to develop SLC-37 at Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as a launch site for its Starship megarocket. Additionally, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched 29 Starlink broadband internet satellites from Cape Canaveral on December 2, 2025.
International Space Station Milestone
The International Space Station recently marked 25 years of continuous human presence in orbit, representing one of humanity's most significant achievements in space exploration.
