Thursday, 06 February 2025 09:37
In a milestone move, the European Space Agency (ESA), Finland's government, and the Finnish Meteorological Institute have begun laying the groundwork for a new Earth observation calibration and validation supersite in Sodankyla, Lapland. This collaborative endeavor promises wide-ranging benefits for Europe's space community.
Developed as a shared initiative, this facility will bolster ESA' SpaceX launches Maxar 3 mission, high-resolution commercial satellites
Thursday, 06 February 2025 09:37
SpaceX launched its Maxar 3 mission, with two high-resolution commercial satellites on board, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Tuesday after Monday's launch was scrubbed.
The Maxar 3 mission, which carried both WorldView Legion satellites into mid-inclination Earth orbit, lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at about 6:13 p.m. EST.

Thursday, 06 February 2025 09:37
Mining ocean resources needed for electric cars and other devices is currently a hot issue of dispute. Final resolution of how or whether the seabed should be exploited is pending. Outcomes in this contentious area could create precedents that could impact decisions about mining the moon.
These precedents might shape the how and why of mining the Moon and shape the future and the sustainab For astronaut radiation protection, just add water
Thursday, 06 February 2025 08:35
Space is not the safest place to be. During spaceflight, both devices and humans risk exposure to high levels of radiation. Without sufficient protection, instruments would malfunction, and astronauts might face serious health risks. A team of researchers from Ghent University in Belgium are testing the potential of 3D-printed hydrogels – materials that can soak up large amounts of water – to serve as highly-effective radiation shields.

Wednesday, 05 February 2025 11:02
Nature had the conditions to "cook up" the chemical precursor ingredients for life before Earth formed, according to two studies published by the sample analysis team of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, which is led by Dante Lauretta at the University of Arizona.

The old saying - "Practice makes perfect!" - applies to the Moon too. On Tuesday, NASA gave 17 technologies, instruments, and experiments the chance to practice being on the Moon... without actually going there. Instead, it was a flight test aboard a vehicle adapted to simulate lunar gravity for approximately two minutes.
The test began on February 4, 2025, with the 10:00 a.m. CST launch o Rocket Lab and iQPS finalize arrangement for four Electron missions

Wednesday, 05 February 2025 11:02
Cislunar space, the region between Earth and the Moon, has emerged as a focal point for both commercial and military interests. Its strategic importance is underscored by the growing investments in space exploration, resource utilization, and defense capabilities. There are several potential commercial uses of cislunar space. One of the most promising of these is resource mining. The Moon is tho China readies Chang-e 7 for Lunar South Pole mission in search of water ice
