Chloris Geospatial has raised $8.5 million in Series A funding to advance its satellite-powered forest carbon monitoring solutions. The round was led by Future Energy Ventures, joined by returning investors AXA IM Alts, At One Ventures, Cisco Foundation, Counteract, and Orbia Ventures. The funding will help the Boston-based firm scale its product development, grow commercial and technical

One of the great unsolved problems in modern planetary science is written on the surface of Mars. Mars has canyons that were carved by rivers, so it was once warm enough for liquid water. How-and why-did it become it a barren desert today? A study led by University of Chicago planetary scientist Edwin Kite puts forth a new explanation for why Mars never seems to stay balmy for long.

For the past month and a half, Perseverance has been exploring the Krokodillen plateau in search of clay-bearing rocks. An earlier blog discussed that these rocks could hold clues to Mars' watery past, and Perseverance has been exploring multiple potential locations to find a suitable target to sample. When a coring target could not be found at the previous outcrop, the Science Team decide

University of Maryland astronomers discovered that an unexpected blast of space rocks ejected during DART mission carried three times more momentum than the spacecraft itself, leading to new insights for future planetary defense missions. When NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into the asteroid moon Dimorphos in September 2022, it didn't just change the asteroid's orbit as intended-it unleash

Astronomers want to unlock the secrets of the 'Cosmic Dawn' by sending a miniature spacecraft to listen out for an "ancient whisper" on the far side of the Moon. The proposed mission will study the very early universe, right after the Big Bang, when it was still quite dark and empty before the first stars and galaxies appeared. But to probe the cosmic 'Dark Ages', silence is essentia

Due to the radiative thermal conductivity of the mineral olivine, only oceanic plates over 60 million years old and subducting at more than 10 centimeters per year remain sufficiently cold to transport water into the Earth's deep mantle. This was found by scientists from the University of Potsdam and from the Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) Potsdam, together with international colleagues,

A meteorite discovered in Africa in 2023 has been dated to 2.35 billion years old, making it the youngest known basaltic lunar meteorite and filling a nearly billion-year void in the Moon's volcanic history. Presented at the Goldschmidt Conference in Prague, the findings from the meteorite Northwest Africa 16286 offer compelling evidence that the Moon maintained internal heat far longer th

Radar systems used by civilian airports and military operations are inadvertently revealing our existence to potential advanced alien civilisations, new research shows. The study explored how hidden electromagnetic leakage might look to extraterrestrials up to 200 light-years from Earth, if they had state-of-the-art radio telescopes like our own. Theoretically, it also suggests this is how

Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW) has finalized integration of its Hammerhead spacecraft platform for a European Space Agency (ESA) in-orbit technology demonstration mission. The work was completed at Redwire's satellite processing facility in Kruibeke, Belgium. As prime contractor, Redwire will support the European Union-funded In-Orbit Demonstration and Verification (IOD/IOV) mission, which aims

Chinese commercial launch firm Orienspace is aiming for a late 2025 debut of its Gravity-2 rocket following a recent first-stage engine hot fire test.

NASA's Psyche mission

The European Space Agency (ESA) successfully established a transmission-reception optical link with NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment onboard its Psyche mission, located 265 million kilometres away, using two optical grounds stations developed for this purpose in Greece.
