The Technical University of Munich has achieved a breakthrough in monitoring the Earth's axis, recording its subtle wobbles with a precision unmatched by previous instruments. Results of a 250-day experiment, published in Science Advances, demonstrate that the TUM ring laser provides accuracy 100 times greater than earlier gyroscopes or ring lasers. Lead author Prof. K. Ulrich Schreiber of

The second Meteosat Third Generation Imager, MTG-I2, has cleared a key milestone in its preparation for launch after completing thermal vacuum testing at Thales Alenia Space's cleanroom facilities in Cannes, France. The satellite endured extreme simulated space temperatures from -180C to +150C, verifying its resilience in the geostationary environment. Francesco Cainero, ESA's Lead Space S

A new study by researchers from Oxford, Leeds, and University College London has uncovered fresh insights into Earth's core chemistry by showing how crystallisation became possible millions of years ago. Published in Nature Communications, the research indicates that Earth's core required 3.8% carbon content to begin freezing. This finding suggests that carbon is more abundant in the core

A new study led by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) has mapped safe underground storage areas for carbon dioxide and found that their practical use would only reduce global warming by about 0.7C. This figure is nearly ten times lower than earlier industry-based projections of 6C, which included storage in high-risk locations where carbon injection could trigger ea

When the global space community looks ahead to September, all eyes turn to Paris. From September 15–19, 2025, the French capital will become the decision-making hub of the space domain, […]

SAN FRANCISCO – Blacksky and Iceye have joined forces with AI-visualization specialists Aechelon Technology and Niantic Spatial to create a digital twin of Earth.

Europe has kicked off a study to improve direct-to-device services using satellite spectrum, just as SpaceX inks a $19 billion deal for space-approved frequencies to expand its own 5G services.
