Dr. Shing Chi Leung, SUNY Poly assistant professor of physics, in collaboration with Mr. Chun-Ming Yip, Dr. Ming-Chung Chu and Dr. Lap-Ming Lin, from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, published a peer reviewed article in The Astrophysical Journal. They discovered that the explosion of a low-mass neutron star can be the alternative cosmic source for the Lanthanides and other heavy elements, in
London, UK (SPX) Nov 22, 2023
Orbit Fab, a frontrunner in on-orbit refueling services, has announced a pivotal partnership with the UK Space Agency to develop the GRASP (Grasping and Resupply Active Solution for Propellants) active refueling interface in the UK. This strategic collaboration aims to establish the necessary components for in-space refueling, a transformative concept set to redefine space mission operations.

N. Korea says spy satellite launch successful

Seoul (AFP) Nov 21, 2023
North Korea said Wednesday it had succeeded in putting a military spy satellite in orbit after two previous failures, as the US led its allies in condemning the launch as a "brazen violation" of UN sanctions. A rocket carrying the satellite blasted off Tuesday night from North Phyongan province, flew along its designated path and "accurately put the reconnaissance satellite 'Malligyong-1' on

During missions into space, astronauts are exposed to high levels of galactic cosmic radiation and weightlessness. Simulation experiments in male rats indicated that these aspects of spaceflight can negatively affect vascular tissues relevant to erectile dysfunction, even after a period of long-term recovery.

The research, which is published in The FASEB Journal, indicated that vascular alterations are induced by relatively low doses of galactic cosmic radiation and, to a lesser extent, simulated weightlessness, primarily through increases in oxidative stress. Treatment with different antioxidants could counter some of these effects.

"With to planned for the coming years, this work indicates that should be closely monitored in astronauts upon their return to Earth," said corresponding author Justin D. La Favor, Ph.D., of Florida State University. "While the negative impacts of galactic cosmic radiation were long-lasting, functional improvements induced by acutely targeting the redox and nitric oxide pathways in the tissues suggest that the erectile dysfunction may be treatable."

US 'strongly condemns' N. Korean space launch

Washington (AFP) Nov 21, 2023
The White House on Tuesday strongly condemned North Korea over its space launch, calling it a "brazen violation" of UN sanctions that could destabilize the region. The launch "raises tensions, and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region and beyond," National Security Council Spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement. North Korean state media reported early Wednes

ESA has reached a significant milestone in its commitment towards a deeper understanding of Earth's dynamic processes and addressing pressing environmental challenges with the selection of two new candidates – Cairt and Wivern – to progress to the next development phase as part of the process of realising the Agency’s eleventh Earth Explorer satellite mission.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 17, 2023
The Space and Defense Innovation (SDI) team has officially announced the launch of its Ignite Competition, a pivotal event designed to bridge the gap between groundbreaking technology and the federal sector's needs. This demo competition presents an unprecedented opportunity for tech companies to directly demonstrate their innovative solutions to key federal sector experts, furthering the U.S.'s
