Boulder CO (SPX) Dec 05, 2025
TRAPPIST-1, a small star about 40 light-years from Earth in the constellation Aquarius, produces flares roughly six times per day, and this activity complicates efforts to evaluate whether its planets could be habitable.
A team led by the University of Colorado Boulder used NASAs James Webb Space Telescope together with detailed computer simulations to study how these flares arise and how

A structural model of the upcoming Copernicus Radar Observing System for Europe at L-band satellite, or ROSE-L for short, has recently been put through a series of demanding tests – including intense vibration – to demonstrate that the satellite will be able to withstand the stresses of launch and operations in orbit.
Once in orbit, ROSE-L’s data will support a wide range of applications, from soil moisture and crop monitoring to forest mapping, maritime surveillance, and the detection of natural and human-induced hazards.
