Paris, France (SPX) Aug 25, 2025
The European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) has resumed normal operations after a communications anomaly temporarily cut contact during its cruise to Venus for a critical gravity-assist maneuver scheduled on 31 August. The signal loss occurred on 16 July when Juice failed to establish contact with ESA's Cebreros ground station in Spain. Backup attempts from the New Norci

Researchers from Nagoya University and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) have determined the timing of Jupiter's formation by studying tiny molten rock spheres known as chondrules preserved in meteorites. These droplets formed 4.6 billion years ago when Jupiter's powerful gravity drove high-speed collisions between rocky and icy planetesimals. When the planetesimals co

According to the newly released 35th State of the Climate report, 2024 saw record highs in greenhouse gas concentrations, global land and ocean temperatures, sea levels, and ocean heat content. Glaciers also suffered their largest annual ice loss on record. Data records from ESA’s Climate Change Initiative helped underpin these findings.

Kyoto, Japan (SPX) Aug 22, 2025
A Kyoto University team has demonstrated that cryopreserved mouse spermatogonial stem cells stored aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for six months can still produce healthy offspring after transplantation. The results provide important insight into reproductive health and germline preservation during long-duration space missions. Researchers cryopreserved the mouse stem cells b

The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) is on track for its gravity-assist flyby at Venus on 31 August, following the successful resolution of a spacecraft communication anomaly that temporarily severed contact with Earth.

The issue, which emerged during a routine ground station pass on 16 July, temporarily disrupted Juice’s ability to transmit information about its health and status (telemetry).

Thanks to swift and coordinated action by the teams at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, and Juice’s manufacturer, Airbus, communication was restored in time to prepare for the upcoming planetary encounter.
