Earth will spin faster marking 2nd shortest day in history
Wednesday, 23 July 2025 11:46
Scientists predicted that Tuesday will be a fraction of a second shorter than the average day as the Earth's rotation is moving faster.
The international Earth Rotation and Reference System Service expects that Tuesday will be just 1.34 milliseconds shorter than the standard 24 hours.
"We've known about the rotation of the Earth being variable for about a hundred years," said the ALLSPACE to Develop 5G NTN Satcom Integration with ESA Funding
Wednesday, 23 July 2025 11:46
ALL.SPACE has secured euro 3.42 million from the European Space Agency (ESA) to accelerate its development of 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) integration. The award comes through ESA's Space for 5G/6G and Sustainable Connectivity programme under the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) framework, which promotes cutting-edge satcom innovation.

Wednesday, 23 July 2025 11:46
Neutrinos are cosmic tricksters, paradoxically hardly there but lethal to stars significantly more massive than the sun. These elementary particles come in three known "flavors": electron, muon and tau. Whatever the flavor, neutrinos are notoriously slippery, and much about their properties remains mysterious. It is almost impossible to collide neutrinos with each other in the lab, so it is not Nuclear timekeeping may reveal hidden traits of dark matter
Wednesday, 23 July 2025 11:46
For nearly a hundred years, scientists have sought dark matter, the unseen material believed to account for 80 percent of the universe's mass. Despite extensive efforts-including particle accelerator experiments and cosmic radiation searches-its properties remain largely unknown. Although dark matter doesn't interact directly with light, it may subtly influence visible matter, making it extremel Surrey launches new Space Institute to drive mission-ready innovation and skills for UK space sector

Sea-level monitoring satellite Sentinel-6B sets sail
Wednesday, 23 July 2025 09:07
The next sea-level monitoring satellite, Copernicus Sentinel-6B, has begun its journey from Europe to the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, where it is scheduled to launch in November. Carefully packed into a climate-controlled container, the satellite is currently crossing the Atlantic Ocean aboard the cargo ship Industrial Dolphin.
7 Must-Read Astronautics Books for Future Aerospace Engineers
Wednesday, 23 July 2025 08:48
Astronautical engineering is the branch of aerospace engineering that focuses on designing and developing the science of space exploration. However, its value does not start with rockets and satellites-it begins with concepts, words, and numbers. It starts with books. TRACERS satellites set to explore solar magnetic reconnection near Earth
Wednesday, 23 July 2025 08:48
NASA is preparing to launch the Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission on July 22 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Led by the University of Iowa and supported by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), the mission aims to investigate how the Sun's and Earth's magnetic fields interact.

Wednesday, 23 July 2025 08:48
Since at least the time of the ancient Egyptians, people across the world have gazed up in awe at Betelgeuse, one of the brightest stars blazing in the night sky.
Now astronomers have discovered that this red supergiant, known to many as the hunter's shoulder in the Orion constellation, is being orbited by a much smaller companion star, a study said on Monday.
It is not the first time B ESA launches Vigil to track solar threats from deep space vantage
Wednesday, 23 July 2025 08:48
Vigil, the European Space Agency's upcoming space weather mission, will be the first satellite to maintain a continuous presence at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 5 (L5), providing an unprecedented side view of solar activity. From this strategic location, Vigil will monitor the Sun's surface several days before the same regions rotate into Earth's direct line of sight.

On 15 July 2025, with the splashdown of the Dragon capsule off the coast of California, the Ignis mission ended after a 20-day space journey. ESA project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski from Poland, during nearly 230 orbits around Earth, completed about 120 hours of telework on the International Space Station and contributed to more than 20 experiments from his orbital office.
Following medical checks on the recovery vessel, Sławosz flew to shore by helicopter and then travelled from the United States to Germany in order to undergo a week of recovery at the European Astronaut Centre. Dozens of people
