This year marks the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote. "Past, Present, and Future of Women in Space," is an inspirational program to reflect on the stories and contributions of women in space and STEM through the lens of the past, present, and future.

In addition to special guests, you'll hear from a panel of NASA's own female "firsts" and pioneers, including astronaut Stephanie Wilson; Clara Ma, NASA's Curiosity rover naming contest winner; Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, launch director at Kennedy Space Center; and moderator Dr. Christyl Johnson, Deputy Director for Technology and Research Investments at Goddard Space Flight Center.

Winning rovers of lunar polar challenge

Rovers compete in Space Resources Challenge

The poles of the Moon have emerged as enticing goals for future exploration, given their potential for harbouring water and other volatiles. So ESA and the European Space Resources Innovation Centre, ESRIC, challenged European and Canadian engineering teams to develop vehicles capable of prospecting resources within in these shadowy regions – then put their designs to the test in a realistic lunar analog environment. Five winning teams have now been selected from this challenge, receiving €75 000 contracts each to move their rovers forward to the next phase of the contest.

While telescope alignment continues, Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is still in cooldown mode. MIRI, which will be the coldest of Webb's four instruments, is the only instrument that will be actively cooled by a cryogenic refrigerator, or cryocooler. This cryocooler uses helium gas to carry heat from MIRI's optics and detectors out to the warm side of the sunshield. To manage the cooldown

An experiment which could confirm the fifth state of matter in the universe - and change physics as we know it - has been published in a new paper from the University of Portsmouth. Physicist Dr Melvin Vopson has already published research suggesting that information has mass and that all elementary particles, the smallest known building blocks of the universe, store information about them
