ESA Space Safety Fleet X-59 Completes First Flight in Quest to Reduce Supersonic Boom
Lockheed Martin Skunk Works and NASA achieved the first flight of the X-59 supersonic aircraft, marking a step toward commercial supersonic travel over land. The aircraft departed from U.S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, and landed at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.
The X-59 demonstrated expected performance characteristics during its maiden fli Strategic Partnership to Advance Real-Time Space Intelligence Services
Leonardo S.p.a. and Unibap Space Solutions AB have launched a strategic partnership to develop advanced real-time space intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. The collaboration targets integration of Unibap's edge computing platforms with Leonardo's future Earth observation infrastructures and enhancement of Unibap's systems to meet demanding mission criteria.
Leonardo is Lunar Lander Testing Campaign Builds Confidence for Griffin-1 Moon Landing
Astrobotic is preparing for the Griffin-1 lunar landing by applying a rigorous "test like you fly" methodology designed to validate every aspect of its Guidance, Navigation, and Control system. Each subsystem, including sensors and flight software, undergoes evaluation in conditions closely mirroring those anticipated during descent and landing on the Moon.

Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have created the largest low-frequency radio colour image of the Milky Way ever assembled.
This spectacular new image captures the Southern Hemisphere view of our Milky Way galaxy, revealing it across a wide range of radio wavelengths, or 'colours' of radio light.
It provides astronomers with new ways to ex Men show significant ocular changes after space travel
A new study led by Rachael D. Seidler, director of the University of Florida's Astraeus Space Institute, examined how factors such as sex, age, and body metrics relate to brain and eye changes in astronauts after space travel. The research, published in npj Microgravity, is among the first to detail sex-related physiological responses to spaceflight. Data showed that female astronauts exhibited Major advance in quantum nanodiamonds enables scalable sensor production
An international team spanning three continents, led by Dr. Petr Cigler at IOCB Prague, has demonstrated a method to create quantum centers in nanodiamonds in minutes, rather than weeks. Their Pressure and Temperature Qubits process produces industrial quantities of light-emitting quantum nanodiamonds, with enhanced optical and quantum characteristics, in a single week, compared to conventional
