Scientists depict Dragonfly landing site on Saturn moon Titan
When NASA's 990-pound Dragonfly rotorcraft reaches the Selk crater region—the mission's target touchdown spot—on Saturn's moon Titan in 2034, Cornell's Léa Bonnefoy will have helped to make it a smooth landing.
Bonnefoy and her colleagues assisted the future arrival by characterizing the equatorial, hummocky, knoll-like landscape by combining and analyzing all of the radar images of the area acquired by the Cassini spacecraft during its historic 13 year exploration of the Saturn system. They used radar reflectivity and angled shadows to determine the properties of the surface.
Effectively, it's a scene of sand dunes and broken-up icy ground.
The research, "Composition, Roughness, and Topography from Radar Backscatter at Selk Crater, the Dragonfly Landing Site," was published Aug.

Astronomers hail first images of asteroid impact
Paris (AFP) Sept 28, 2022
The asteroid is flying through space in the grainy black and white video, when suddenly a massive cloud of debris sprays out in front of it, meaning only one thing: impact.
Astronomers have hailed this early footage of the first time humanity deliberately smashed a spacecraft into an asteroid, saying it looks like it did a "lot of damage".
That would be good news, because NASA's Double A

China launches multiple satellites in back to back launches
Taiyuan, China (XNA) Sep 27, 2022
China on Tuesday launched a Long March-6 rocket carrying three satellites into space.
The rocket blasted off at 7:50 am (Beijing Time) from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the northern province of Shanxi and sent the Shiyan 16A, Shiyan 16B and Shiyan 17 satellites into the preset orbit.
Shiyan means "experiment" in Chinese. The Shiyan satellite trio will provide data for land
