Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 03, 2025
LandSpace, a private Chinese rocket company, has flown its ZQ 3, or Rosefinch 3, carrier rocket for the first time, marking China's initial orbital mission using a reusable rocket architecture, although recovery of the first-stage booster was not successful.
The ZQ 3 Y1 vehicle, built mainly from stainless steel, lifted off at noon from a dedicated launch service tower at the Jiuquan Satel

Researchers have developed micro and nanoscale reconfigurable robots that capture and release carbon dioxide in confined life support systems such as crewed spacecraft, submarines, and sealed shelters. The team led by Prof. Hui He at Guangxi University reports that these micro nano reconfigurable robots, or MNRM, use sunlight as an energy source while moving through the system to avoid local ove

Human missions to Mars will require robust shelters that can be built without hauling heavy materials from Earth, pushing engineers and scientists to focus on in situ resource utilization of the planet's regolith. A new perspective article describes how carefully selected microbial communities could turn Martian dust into structural elements for habitats, while also contributing to life-support

To prepare new autonomous systems for Mars, NASA teams have been testing drones, a legged robot, and a winged flyer concept in harsh desert environments in California, New Mexico, and Virginia. The work is part of 25 Mars Exploration Program technology projects funded this year to extend the reach and capability of future Red Planet missions.
