NASA and several other national space agencies have recently revived their lunar colonization programs. One of the key factors that needs to be solved is how to power a future such colony. Can uninterrupted solar power feasibly be realized without energy storage? On Earth, providing 100% of electricity demand 100% of the time solely from renewables, but without energy storage, is unfeasible.

In a little over a month, the window of opportunity for nominating deserving scientists for the prestigious ESA-EGU Earth Observation Excellence Award will close. With the period for lodging nominations closing on 7 December, past nominators and winners reflect on how this award has increased the visibility of their scientific research and opened new avenues to working partnerships.
ESA contracts ArianeGroup to press ahead with full-scale demonstrator of carbon fibre “black stage” to boost launch performance
Thursday, 03 November 2022 07:45
By reducing the mass of rocket stages, ESA hopes to increase payload-to-orbit performance. That is the objective of a programme called PHOEBUS (Prototype of a Highly OptimisEd Black Upper Stage), which aims to produce upper stage tanks and structures in carbon fibre. Now, following completion of the project’s preliminary design review, ESA has contracted prime contractor ArianeGroup to build a full-scale upper stage demonstrator.
