In July 2024, five experimental capsules built by university students endured the intense heat of re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, providing critical data that could advance spacecraft heat shield technology. The capsules were part of the Kentucky Re-Entry Probe Experiment (KREPE-2), and researchers are now analyzing the results to refine heat shield designs used in space missions.

Paris (AFP) Nov 7, 2024
A Chinese rover has found new evidence to support the theory that Mars was once home to a vast ocean, including tracing some ancient coastline where water may once have lapped, a study said Thursday.
The theory that an ocean covered as much as a third of the Red Planet billions of years ago has been a matter of debate between scientists for decades, and one outside researcher expressed some

Readily accessible thermoelectric generators (TEGs), operating with modest temperature differences, can drive CO2 conversion, according to new proof-of-concept research by chemists at the University of British Columbia (UBC).
This development suggests that temperature differentials across a variety of environments - from geothermal sites on Earth to Mars's cold terrain - could support the

Demand is rising sharply within the space sector for MSP's advanced CNC manufacturing technology, which ensures precise, error-free production of parts for rockets, satellites, and launch equipment. As the space industry projects a worth of $1.8 trillion by 2035, manufacturers are under pressure to keep pace with complex requirements, supply chain challenges, and stringent quality standards.
