Preparations begin for return of Shenzhou mission crew after debris incident
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 MIT researchers propose a new model for legible, modular software
The coding framework uses modular concepts and simple synchronization rules to make software clearer, safer, and easier for LLMs to generate.
Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are charting a more "modular" path ahead. Their new approach breaks systems into "concepts," separate pieces of a system, each designed to do one job well, and "sync Aerospace modules completed for Artemis lunar crew mission
The European Service Module-4 for NASA's Orion spacecraft has completed integration at Airbus facilities in Bremen, Germany. The module will soon ship to Kennedy Space Center for assembly and testing alongside Orion's Crew Module, progressing preparation for NASA's Artemis program return to lunar crewed flight.
Thales Alenia Space provides major subsystems for all six European Service Modu New Structures Could Keep Astronauts Fit During Long Missions
Northeastern professor Jeffery Lipton and his colleagues have created a new class of deployable structures that could one day be used to create artificial gravity space habitats for astronauts.
From muscle atrophy to bone loss, astronauts face a number of health risks while in space.
It's easy to understand why.
The human body relies on Earth's gravity to work out muscles and s Celebrating 30 years of European satellite navigation

The year 2025 marked three decades of satellite navigation in Europe. To celebrate this milestone, on 2 September, the European Space Agency (ESA) opened the doors of ESTEC, its research and technology centre. Partners from across the continent joined a sensational event that took the audience on a journey through time, honouring the achievements and collaboration that have shaped the success story of the systems we rely on today: Galileo and EGNOS.
What a martian ice age left behind
Travelling up from Mars’s equator towards its north pole, we find Coloe Fossae: a set of intriguing scratches within a region marked by deep valleys, speckled craters, and signs of an ancient ice age.
