‘Here there be dragons’ – medieval mapmakers would daub such warnings on dangerous or unknown recesses of mariners’ charts. Fast forward to the 21st century and the space surrounding our planet holds ‘dragons’ of its own: fierce radiation belts that surround Earth, Jupiter and other planets, and storms of particles originating from the Sun that travel far into space. A dedicated class of engineers work to safeguard space missions from such dangers.

The Artemis program has been Nasa's best chance to get "boots on the Moon" again. But with the new US administration taking guidance from tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who is focused on Mars colonisation, will they end up abandoning or pushing back lunar missions? For example, there's been speculation that returning US president Donald Trump may cancel the Space Launch System rocket, which

As humanity envisions establishing a permanent presence on the moon, Mars, and beyond, the challenge of sustaining life comes down to the essentials: oxygen, food, and water. While it is well-known that water exists on the moon, pinpointing its exact locations remains a key question. Is it hidden within craters, trapped in the moon's shadowed regions, or concentrated near the poles? Answering th
