Meet John McFall – Paralympian, medical doctor and member of ESA’s Astronaut Reserve. As part of ESA’s groundbreaking FLY initiative, John is helping prove that physical disability is no barrier to space. In this episode, he shares the results of a feasibility study showing no technical showstoppers for flying to the International Space Station with a prosthesis and talks about what’s next—from hardware certification and scientific proposals to astronaut reserve training and running in microgravity.
In this miniseries, we take you on a journey through the ESA Astronaut Reserve, diving into the first part of their Astronaut Reserve
Tiangong hosts dual crews after debris impact delays Shenzhou-20 return
Tuesday, 11 November 2025 07:54
Since the launch of Shenzhou-21, China's Tiangong Space Station has entered an unprecedented phase of dual-crew operations, with the Shenzhou-20 astronauts remaining in orbit longer than initially planned following a suspected space debris impact on their return spacecraft. This situation has prompted China's space authorities to activate comprehensive risk assessments and emergency procedures, ensuring crew safety remains paramount.

Paving the way for next-generation antennas SpaceX Starlink launch breaks record for Florida spaceport
Tuesday, 11 November 2025 03:33
The SpaceX launch of 29 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit Monday night from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station broke an annual launch record for Florida's spaceport.
Monday's liftoff was the 94th launch of an orbital class rocket in the state, breaking the previous record set at the end of last year.
"Engines full power and lift off. Go SpaceX. Go Starlink," mission contro China's Galactic Energy fails Ceres-1 rocket satellite mission launch
Tuesday, 11 November 2025 03:33
A rocket by a private Chinese company saw its second failure on its planned orbital mission.
On Sunday, the 62-foot-tall Ceres-1 Y-19 rocket by Chinese space firm Galactic Energy took off from northwest China at around 11:02 p.m. EST via Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
The mission carried two satellites for China's Jilin-1 commercial Earth-observation constellation, and a craft Oxford team unveils air-powered robots that synchronize without electronics
Tuesday, 11 November 2025 03:33
A team at the University of Oxford has introduced a new class of soft robots which operate solely on air pressure, eliminating the need for electronics, motors or computers. As published on November 5 in Advanced Materials, these fluidic robots are capable of producing intricate, rhythmic motions and can synchronize their behaviour automatically when connected.

Dust and Sand Movements Reshape Martian Slopes
Tuesday, 11 November 2025 02:12
A meteoroid impact near Apollinaris Mons on Mars produced streaks and more than a hundred fresh markings across the slopes, as recorded by ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter on December 24, 2023. The Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) gathered images that show a cluster of impact craters in the dust-shifted areas at the base of the slope. With supporting data from other imagery, rese York Space demonstrates successful payload commissioning for BARD mission

In the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang, long before atoms or light-filled galaxies existed, the newborn cosmos may already have been seeded with complex structures. A new theoretical study published in Physical Review D by researchers from SISSA, in collaboration with INFN, IFPU, and the University of Warsaw, suggests that primordial halos of matter could have collapsed to form the S&P Global finalizes deal for ORBCOMM satellite vessel tracking network
