Proba-3 precision laser calibration for artificial solar eclipse mission
ESA's Proba-3 mission, a groundbreaking double-spacecraft formation flying project, is set for launch on December 4 from India. The mission aims to achieve artificial solar eclipses on demand, relying on advanced positioning technologies, including a precision laser system that enables the spacecraft to maintain their precise alignment in orbit.
The Proba-3 mission comprises two spacecraft China details plans for manned lunar landing by 2030
China has revealed additional insights into its manned lunar mission, targeting a moon landing by 2030, through a video presentation at the Human Space Symposium. The animation, released by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA), showcases key mission aspects, including a lunar rover exploring the moon's surface and outlining a three-day exploration route centered around the landing zone.
Th Atomic-6 partners with Starpath Robotics for Lunar Power Tower development
Atomic-6 has entered into a development contract with Starpath Robotics to design and build a deployable composite boom for Starpath's advanced solar power generation system. This collaboration brings together Atomic-6's innovative composite manufacturing techniques and Starpath's vision for lunar infrastructure development.

China's innovative inflatable capsule has successfully completed its in-orbit flight test aboard the Shijian-19 satellite, as announced by the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) on Thursday. The test, described as a complete success, marks a significant step forward in space engineering.
The inflatable capsule represents a cutting-edge, multi-functional technology featuring a flexibl Hubble reveals edge-on spiral galaxy with unique structure
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a striking view of UGC 10043, a spiral galaxy located approximately 150 million light-years away in the Serpens constellation. This galaxy is seen edge-on, revealing a sharp silhouette of its disk rather than the familiar spiral arm pattern.
From this vantage point, UGC 10043's disk appears as a distinct line with thick, dark dust lanes that Proba-3 will use laser for millimeter precision in space
