NASA, alongside partners Boeing and SpaceX, is advancing its plans for next year's International Space Station (ISS) missions as part of the agency's Commercial Crew Program. While preparatory efforts continue, NASA anticipates an active year of orbital operations with targeted mission timeframes, contingent on operational readiness and station scheduling.

A quasar is the extremely bright core of a galaxy that hosts an active supermassive black hole at its center. As the black hole draws in surrounding gas and dust, it blasts out an enormous amount of energy, making quasars some of the brightest objects in the universe. Quasars have been observed as early as a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, and it's been a mystery as to how these ob

For decades, astronomers have focused on distant galaxies as the source of high-energy electromagnetic radiation. However, new observations from the HAWC observatory have revealed that microquasars - compact binary systems within our own galaxy - are also capable of producing gamma photons with extremely high energies.

A new advanced hardware system known as the Sub-Millimetre Wave Validation Standard Antenna, or VAST, will serve as a critical test target for Europe's satellite antenna test facilities. Though not designed for space missions directly, VAST is engineered to validate the measurement of complex radio frequencies used in future space operations.

NASA research pilots are experts on how to achieve the right flight-test conditions for experiments and the tools needed for successful missions. It is that expertise that enables pilots to help researchers learn how an aircraft can fly their technology innovations and save time and money, while increasing the innovation's readiness for use.

The Copernicus Sentinel Expansion Missions are poised to significantly advance Europe's Earth observation capabilities, following the confirmation of funding for the development of all six missions. This progress is largely attributed to the United Kingdom's recent decision to rejoin the European Union's Copernicus programme, ensuring the completion of these important missions. The announcement

Physicists from the universities of Amsterdam, Princeton, and Oxford have uncovered evidence that extremely light particles, known as axions, may form large clouds around neutron stars. These particles could help explain dark matter, one of the greatest mysteries in physics, and might even be detectable with current technology.
