Novaspace's latest Earth Observation Data and Services Market report identifies a major shift in the commercial landscape. The combination of geopolitical tension and rapid AI adoption is intensifying demand for defense-grade earth observation (EO) solutions. Buyers now prioritize sovereign control and immediate access to high-resolution imagery, with revisit intervals shaping competition in the

Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria evaluated the carbon footprint of travel to global nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) conferences, revealing that a single transcontinental trip by a European attendee generates four to five tons of CO2 emissions. This amount surpasses the combined footprint from six months of conducting experiments, preparing samples, and performing sc

Scientists said the sun erupted Tuesday morning, unleashing a strong X5.1-class flare in an intense outburst, causing communications disruptions. It was the year's strongest solar flare. Scientists said the flare peaked around 5 a.m. EST, creating the most intense outburst since October 2024. The solar flare triggered radio blackouts on the African and European continents

An international team of astronomers, led by Tom Bakx from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, has identified a galaxy forming stars at a pace 180 times faster than the Milky Way, using the ALMA telescope to precisely measure the object's temperature. Known as Y1, the galaxy is so distant its light has traveled for over 13 billion years to reach Earth. The team detected the presen

Researchers have developed a satellite constellation approach designed for exploration around Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The framework, known as the 2D Necklace Flower Constellation, prioritizes stable orbital configurations by integrating frozen orbits and repeating ground tracks. This model supports continuous observation and reduces the frequency of maintenance for multi-satellite missions

The China Manned Space Agency has initiated emergency plans to bring home the Shenzhou XX crew after a space debris impact prompted a delay in their scheduled return. Mission planners and engineers prioritized crew safety and carried out comprehensive simulations, hardware checks, and risk assessments for the Shenzhou XX spacecraft. Teams at the Dongfeng Landing Site conducted intensive dr
