Sentinel-2 explores night vision
Thursday, 15 January 2026 07:00
After more than 10 years in orbit, the first Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite, Sentinel-2A, is still finding new ways to contribute to Earth observation. With its younger siblings, Sentinel-2B and Sentinel-2C, now leading the mission’s core task of delivering high-resolution, ‘camera-like’ images of Earth’s surface, the European Space Agency is pushing Sentinel-2A beyond its original remit.
In recent trials, this elderly satellite was even switched on at night to see how it would perform in the dark – and the results have been strikingly positive, offering encouraging news for the follow-on Copernicus Sentinel-2 Next Generation mission,
NASA and DOE plan fission power plant on Moon by 2030
Thursday, 15 January 2026 06:55
NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy have renewed their long standing partnership to develop a fission surface power system that can operate on the Moon as part of the Artemis campaign and future missions to Mars. The agencies plan to deploy a lunar surface reactor by 2030 to support sustained human and robotic activities and to advance U.S. leadership in space exploration and commerce. JWST red dots reveal rapidly growing early black holes
Thursday, 15 January 2026 06:55
Since the James Webb Space Telescope began science operations in December 2021 some 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, astronomers have been puzzled by compact, intensely red sources scattered through its deep images of the early universe. These so called little red dots appear when the universe is only several hundred million years old, then seem to vanish about a billion years later, prompting The Silent Partner - How Machine Learning Quietly Powers Modern Space Operations

The space industry handles some of the most complex data in existence. Satellite images cover millions of square kilometers. Telemetry from a single spacecraft involves thousands of data points. The position of millions of objects in orbit must be tracked to prevent collisions Spaceflight study links astronaut biology to reversible shifts in epigenetic age

When the four member crew of Axiom 2 launched on a 10 day mission in May 2023, their time in orbit carried a dense manifest of biomedical experiments aimed at probing human physiology under spaceflight conditions.
A new analysis led by scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging uses blood samples from that mission to position spaceflight as a model system for studying biologica The Quiet Transformation of GPS - What's Coming by 2026
Thursday, 15 January 2026 06:55
GPS has long been perceived as a finished system - dependable, standardized, and largely unchanged from the user's point of view. For most people, navigation simply works, and that reliability creates the illusion of stagnation. JAXA taps ispace for lunar debris mitigation and disposal study
Thursday, 15 January 2026 06:55
ispace inc has been selected by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to conduct an analysis on how to limit harmful space debris in lunar orbit and manage spacecraft end of life on the Moon as activity around the lunar environment increases. The contracted study is titled "Analysis for Space Debris Mitigation in Lunar Orbit and Disposal Management on the Lunar Surface" and reflects growing con How to Transcribe Audio to Text - A Step-by-Step Guide

Transcribing audio to text is a crucial process in many industries, from media to education and customer service. The ability to convert spoken words into written form makes content more accessible, searchable, and shareable. GPS in 2026 - Hidden Shifts That Could Redefine Global Navigation
Thursday, 15 January 2026 06:55
For decades, GPS has been treated as a stable, almost invisible layer of modern technology - always present, always reliable. Yet as 2026 approaches, subtle but meaningful changes are beginning to reshape how global navigation systems operate behind the scenes.
