Nearly 70 years after the launch of the first satellite, we still have more questions than answers about space. But a team of Berkeley researchers is on a mission to change this with a proposal to build a fleet of low-cost, autonomous spacecraft, each weighing only 10 grams and propelled by nothing more than the pressure of solar radiation. These miniaturized solar sails could potentially visit

The realm of space exploration is on the verge of a significant advancement with the introduction of the Aqualunar Challenge, a collaborative GBP1.2 million initiative between the UK and Canada, aimed at fostering the development of technologies for purifying water on the Moon. This challenge is a testament to the growing focus on making human habitation on the lunar surface a viable reality.

China is poised to take another significant step in lunar exploration with its upcoming Chang'e 6 mission, scheduled for later this year. This ambitious endeavor by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) aims to collect and return samples from the far side of the Moon, a feat not yet accomplished by any nation.
