Saturn moon mission planning shifts to flower constellation theory
Wednesday, 12 November 2025 07:18
Researchers have developed a satellite constellation approach designed for exploration around Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The framework, known as the 2D Necklace Flower Constellation, prioritizes stable orbital configurations by integrating frozen orbits and repeating ground tracks. This model supports continuous observation and reduces the frequency of maintenance for multi-satellite missions Superheated galaxy reveals rapid star birth in early universe

An international team of astronomers, led by Tom Bakx from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, has identified a galaxy forming stars at a pace 180 times faster than the Milky Way, using the ALMA telescope to precisely measure the object's temperature.
Known as Y1, the galaxy is so distant its light has traveled for over 13 billion years to reach Earth. The team detected the presen LandSpace prepares reusable ZQ 3 rocket for first launch after major tests in China
Wednesday, 12 November 2025 07:18
LandSpace, a private Beijing-based rocket manufacturer, is moving toward the debut flight of its ZQ 3, also known as Rosefinch 3, at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China's Gobi Desert. The company is aiming to recover the rocket's first-stage booster after launch.
The ZQ 3 is a substantial reusable rocket, measuring 66.1 meters in height and 4.5 meters in diameter, wit 2025's strongest solar flare triggers global radio blackout
Wednesday, 12 November 2025 07:18
Scientists said the sun erupted Tuesday morning, unleashing a strong X5.1-class flare in an intense outburst, causing communications disruptions.
It was the year's strongest solar flare.
Scientists said the flare peaked around 5 a.m. EST, creating the most intense outburst since October 2024.
The solar flare triggered radio blackouts on the African and European continents Conference travel emissions exceed research energy use

Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria evaluated the carbon footprint of travel to global nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) conferences, revealing that a single transcontinental trip by a European attendee generates four to five tons of CO2 emissions. This amount surpasses the combined footprint from six months of conducting experiments, preparing samples, and performing sc Geopolitical instability and AI drive transformation in EO market

Novaspace's latest Earth Observation Data and Services Market report identifies a major shift in the commercial landscape. The combination of geopolitical tension and rapid AI adoption is intensifying demand for defense-grade earth observation (EO) solutions. Buyers now prioritize sovereign control and immediate access to high-resolution imagery, with revisit intervals shaping competition in the New Structures Could Keep Astronauts Fit During Long Missions
Wednesday, 12 November 2025 07:18
Northeastern professor Jeffery Lipton and his colleagues have created a new class of deployable structures that could one day be used to create artificial gravity space habitats for astronauts.
From muscle atrophy to bone loss, astronauts face a number of health risks while in space.
It's easy to understand why.
