Sidus Space chosen to build Lunar Data Storage Spacecraft for Lonestar
Sidus Space (NASDAQ: SIDU) has been appointed to design and construct the initial fleet of Data Storage Spacecraft for Lonestar, a premier provider of data storage and Resiliency As A Service (RAAS). With this selection, Sidus becomes Lonestar's exclusive satellite manufacturing partner for a series of six spacecraft intended for lunar orbit. These satellites will deliver sophisticated data stor Peculiar Pale Pebbles
During its recent exploration of the crater rim, Perseverance diverted to explore a strange, scattered field of bright white rocks which sparked the interest of the team scientists.
Perseverance has been climbing up the steep slopes of the Jezero crater rim for over two months now, and ever since approaching the edge of the crater has been spying increasingly diverse and strange-looking ro Extreme heat weakens land’s power to absorb carbon
A new European Space Agency-backed study shows that the extreme heatwaves of 2023, which fuelled huge wildfires and severe droughts, also undermined the land’s capacity to soak up atmospheric carbon. This diminished carbon uptake drove atmospheric carbon dioxide levels to new highs, intensifying concerns about accelerating climate change.

CHIME given the shakes
A model of the CHIME instrument has recently undergone rigorous testing to confirm it can endure the stresses of launch and the harsh conditions of space. This new Copernicus mission will provide critical data to support sustainable agriculture, and more.
N. Korea jams GPS signals, affecting ships, aircraft in South
North Korea staged GPS jamming attacks on Friday and Saturday, an operation that was affecting several ships and dozens of civilian aircraft in South Korea, Seoul's military said.
The jamming allegations come about a week after the North test-fired what it said was its most advanced and powerful solid-fuel ICBM missile, its first such launch since being accused of sending soldiers to help Ru OpTech secures $4.5 million U.S. Space Force contract for TacRS mission
Optimum Technologies LLC (OpTech), known for its expertise in space mission design and advanced space hardware services, has secured a $4.5 million contract from the United States Space Force (USSF)'s Space Systems Command (SSC)'s Space Safari Office. The agreement, awarded on October 28, 2024, under a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 3 initiative, funds the development of an opti Einstein's predictions face new challenges with universe's expanding puzzle
Why is the Universe's expansion speeding up? This question has baffled scientists for over 25 years since its discovery. Addressing it requires re-examining fundamental physics, particularly Einstein's general relativity. Researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Universite Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier have compared Einstein's theoretical predictions with empirical data from the Ariane 6 upper stage visits ESA’s temple of boom
How we made history by landing on a comet

00:09:09
On 12 November 2014, after a ten-year journey through the Solar System and over 500 million kilometres from home, Rosetta’s lander Philae made space exploration history by touching down on a comet for the first time. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of this extraordinary feat, we celebrate by taking a look back over the mission's highlights.
Rosetta was an ESA mission with contributions from its Member States and NASA. It studied Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for over two years, including delivering lander Philae to the comet’s surface. Philae was provided by a consortium led by DLR, MPS, CNES
