China's only woman spaceflight engineer in crew for 'dream' mission
Tuesday, 29 October 2024 09:27
China's only woman spaceflight engineer will be among a crew of three astronauts blasting off on a "dream" mission to the Tiangong space station this week, Beijing announced Tuesday.
The new Tiangong team will carry out experiments with an eye to the space programme's ambitious goal of placing astronauts on the Moon by 2030 and eventually constructing a lunar base.
The Shenzhou-19 missio Recent progress of Earth observation satellites in China
Tuesday, 29 October 2024 09:27
Currently, there are 32 Earth observation satellites in orbit. Since 2022, China has launched nine new satellites, which are detailed in Table 1. This article explores recent advances in China's Earth observation satellite program, specifically satellite operations, data archiving, data distribution, and data coverage.
Researchers detail the recent additions of nine Earth observation sat EarthCARE mission highlights crucial roles of clouds and aerosols in atmospheric energy
Tuesday, 29 October 2024 09:27
With the first images captured by the instruments on ESA's EarthCARE satellite, researchers are demonstrating how these advanced sensors work in synergy to analyze how clouds and aerosols impact Earth's heating and cooling. Presented at the International Astronautical Congress in Milan, Italy, these initial findings show the unique potential of EarthCARE's instrumentation to gather simultaneous Thin cool ocean surface enhances carbon absorption
Tuesday, 29 October 2024 09:27
New research, funded in part by the European Space Agency (ESA), shows that the cool, thin layer at the ocean's surface - known as the "ocean skin" - allows oceans to absorb significantly more atmospheric carbon dioxide than previously estimated. This discovery could lead to more precise global carbon assessments and support better-informed emissions policies.

The construction phase of ESA’s Ariel mission has started at Airbus Defence and Space in Toulouse (France) with the assembly of the spacecraft’s structural model. This marks a significant step forward for this mission designed to meticulously inspect the atmospheres of a thousand exoplanets and uncover their nature.
In the image we see Ariel’s structural model coming together at the Airbus facilities. This model replicates the mechanical framework of the spacecraft and the mass of its various units for a first round of tough testing.
The Ariel’s structural model consists of two main components: a flight-like replica of the service
