Data from Sentinel-6B will continue a decades-long record of sea surface height, helping to improve coastal planning, protect critical infrastructure, and advance weather forecasts. With launch set for no earlier than 12:21 a.m. EST Monday, Nov. 17, Sentinel-6B is the latest satellite in a series of spacecraft NASA and its partners have used to measure sea levels since 1992. Their data has

A new book by scholar and military officer Erik Lin-Greenberg examines the evolving dynamics of military and state action centered around drones. In recent months, Russia has frequently flown drones into NATO territory, where NATO countries typically try to shoot them down. By contrast, when three Russian fighter jets made an incursion into Estonian airspace in September, they were interce

Researchers in Germany have conducted a campaign at the LUNA Analog Facility in Cologne to evaluate how water ice could be located and mapped on the Moon. Instruments and robotic vehicles were used in a simulated lunar environment with a substantial area covered in regolith material similar to Moon dust. The Polar Explorer campaign at LUNA tested the mobility and sensing abilities of two r
