Connecting science from sea to space
Monday, 13 October 2025 12:02
Doing science at sea is no easy endeavour. Add racing across oceans and heading to a UN conference , and the complexity multiplies. This summer, thanks to satellite connectivity from Eutelsat’s low Earth orbit constellation, OneWeb and the support from the European Space Agency (ESA), and the UK Space Agency, the Kaïros’ We Explore catamaran sailed smarter, safer, and more sustainably on its journey to the UN Ocean Conference in Nice.

Friday the 13th of April 2029 will be our lucky day.
Apophis, a 375-metre-wide asteroid, will safely pass Earth at a distance of less than 32 000 kilometres. For a few hours, Apophis will be closer than satellites in geostationary orbit and visible to the naked eye from Europe and Africa.
Space agencies have sent a number of spacecraft to asteroids, but we have never had a mission at an asteroid as it sweeps past a planet. This grand natural experiment offers a unique opportunity to study in real time how an asteroid responds to a strong external force – and the European Space Agency aims to have a front-row seat.
To this end, ESA’s Space Safety Programme has proposed the Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety (Ramses). If approved, Ramses would launch a
Swarm reveals growing weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field
Monday, 13 October 2025 08:50
Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency’s Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have discovered that the weak region in Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic – known as the South Atlantic Anomaly – has expanded by an area nearly half the size of continental Europe since 2014.
ESA drives growth in Spanish positioning and timing industry with NAVISP
Monday, 13 October 2025 08:33
Following a call by the European Space Agency (ESA), nine projects have been selected in close coordination with the Spanish Space Agency (AEE) for funding under ESA’s Navigation Innovation and Support Program (NAVISP). This initiative strengthens Spain’s industrial competitiveness in positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) with the development of new products and services and strengthens the country’s presence in the global space market.
Asteroid rotation patterns reveal new insights into their interiors
Monday, 13 October 2025 04:49
Whether an asteroid spins smoothly or tumbles chaotically has now been linked to its history of collisions, according to new findings from ESA's Gaia mission presented at the EPSC-DPS2025 Joint Meeting. The research provides a method to probe asteroid interiors, an advance with major implications for planetary defense strategies.
"By leveraging Gaia's unique dataset, advanced modelling and Spirals in young star disk reveal planet formation process
Monday, 13 October 2025 04:49
Observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have captured the motion of spiral structures in the disk of dust and gas surrounding the young star IM Lup, offering new evidence that these features are linked to the earliest stages of planet formation.
Located 515 light-years away in the constellation Lupus, IM Lup's protoplanetary disk displays spirals that astr GEO-MEASURE brings survey-grade precision to everyone
