Under mounting concerns over space debris, scientists at Northwestern Polytechnical University have developed a breakthrough method for detumbling malfunctioning satellites using a hybrid vibration suppression and control strategy. Their approach integrates a nonlinear energy sink with active variable stiffness (NES-AVS) device and a composite prescribed performance controller to improve the saf

Researchers have found clouds of cold gas embedded deep within larger, superheated gas clouds - or Fermi bubbles - at the Milky Way's center. The finding challenges current models of Fermi bubble formation and reveals that the bubbles are much younger than previously estimated. "The Fermi bubbles are enormous structures of hot gas that extend above and below the disk of the Milky Way, reac

Ice commonly found in space is not entirely amorphous, as long believed, but instead contains nanoscale crystals, according to a new study by scientists at University College London (UCL) and the University of Cambridge. The findings revise long-held views about low-density amorphous ice, which forms under extremely cold conditions in comets, icy moons, and interstellar dust clouds. The re

K2 Space Corporation has marked two major milestones as it advances toward its first full satellite launch, the GRAVITAS mission, set for early 2026 to Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). The company successfully executed its first in-space demonstration mission, launched in January 2025. This mission validated numerous vertically integrated satellite components-such as the flight computer, reaction

Orbex, a UK-based provider of orbital launch services, has been pre-selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) for participation in the European Launcher Challenge (ELC), marking a significant recognition of its capabilities and strategic role in Europe's space ambitions. Launched by ESA in November 2023, the ELC initiative is designed to enhance sovereign European launch options and incr
TU Delft’s autonomous drone racing against a human pilot

An autonomous drone has beaten human drone racing champions in an international competition for the first time. A team of scientists from Delft University of Technology has taken first place at the A2RL Drone Championship in Abu Dhabi – and the AI taking their drone to victory got off to a flying start in the lab of the European Space Agency’s Advanced Concepts Team just a few years prior.

One of the many critical systems that make satellite operations, space research, space observatories, space explorations, and space missions possible is space technology, where the need for space-qualified bearings is pivotal. These mission-critical space-grade bearings are configured to overcome the challenges of space and ensure the success and longevity of high-value missions, on which
