A troubling shift in Europe’s forest carbon balance
Wednesday, 30 July 2025 11:37
Europe’s forests play a crucial role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but research led by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre has found their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide has declined in the past decade.
Galileo enhances security edge with new authentication service led by GMV
Wednesday, 30 July 2025 08:22
The European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) has officially activated Galileo's new Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA), bolstering the system's capability to combat signal spoofing and data tampering.
OSNMA functions by digitally signing navigation signals, allowing users to authenticate data as genuinely transmitted by Galileo. This advancement is especial

Mapping for the Moon Greenland subglacial flood bursts through ice sheet surface
Wednesday, 30 July 2025 08:00
Using data from several Earth-observing satellites, including ESA’s CryoSat and the Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 missions, scientists have discovered that a huge flood beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet surged upwards with such force that it fractured the ice sheet, resulting in a vast quantity of meltwater bursting through the ice surface.

Wednesday, 30 July 2025 02:28
SpaceX scrubbed a static fire test for a Falcon 9 rocket that will carry the Crew-11 team to the International Space Station due to an error.
SpaceX said in a statement that it was now targeting a window on Tuesday for the test after saying the scrub was due to an issue with the transporter erector cradle arm position indication at Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. NASA picks Firefly Aerospace for ambitious 2029 lunar rover and instrument delivery
Wednesday, 30 July 2025 02:28
NASA has awarded Firefly Aerospace a $176.7 million contract under its Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative to deliver two rovers and three instruments to the Moon's South Pole region by 2029. This mission marks the agency's first use of multiple rovers and diverse stationary instruments on a single delivery to study the composition and potential resources of permanently shadowed Lunar soil machine developed to build bricks using sunlight
