Teledyne Labtech and Bangor University advance Welsh space cooling technology
Friday, 26 September 2025 01:03
Teledyne Labtech is leading a Welsh effort to rethink thermal management for spacecraft electronics through the Advanced Thermal Management for Space Electronics project, developed with Bangor University and supported by Airbus Endeavr, a joint initiative between Airbus and the Welsh Government.
The collaboration targets one of space engineering's hardest problems: moving heat in vacuum. T Northrop Grumman Hypersonic Navigation System Exceeds Rocket Test Milestones
Friday, 26 September 2025 01:03
Northrop Grumman's Advanced Hypersonic Technology Inertial Measurement Unit (AHT IMU) has surpassed expectations in its third major test, this time onboard a sounding rocket. The trial confirmed the unit's ability to withstand extreme g-forces, altitudes, and velocities beyond projected limits.

Friday, 26 September 2025 01:03
Curtin University scientists have identified evidence of a giant asteroid impact hidden in tiny fragments of natural glass, known as tektites, found only in Australia.
Tektites form when a space rock collides with Earth, melts surface material, and blasts molten debris across vast distances. The newly recognised tektites, discovered mainly in South Australia, mark a previously unknown impa Mars polar vortex traps cold and builds seasonal ozone layer
Friday, 26 September 2025 01:03
A rare look inside the wintry north polar vortex of Mars has revealed that conditions are far colder than outside its boundary, and that the months of complete darkness allow ozone to accumulate in the martian atmosphere.
"The atmosphere inside the polar vortex, from near the surface to about 30 kilometres high, is characterised by extreme cold temperatures, about 40 degrees Celsius colder White dwarf consumes icy Pluto-like planet fragment in deep space
Friday, 26 September 2025 01:03
University of Warwick astronomers have identified the chemical signature of an icy, water-rich planetary fragment being devoured by a white dwarf star. The finding offers strong evidence that volatile-rich planetesimals, capable of delivering water and the raw ingredients for life, exist in systems beyond our Solar System.
The team used ultraviolet spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telesc Record breaking gravitational waves confirm Hawking theory and reveal giant black hole merger
Friday, 26 September 2025 01:03
For millions of years, two massive black holes circled each other until, in a split second, they merged at near light speed. The collision unleashed gravitational waves so strong and clear that researchers now have their most detailed look yet at spacetime's most violent events.
"These are waves in spacetime itself-like ripples in water-that travel at the speed of light," explained Jose Ma Exoplanets unlikely to host global oceans
Friday, 26 September 2025 01:03
Astronomers once suggested that the exoplanet K2-18b, 124 light-years away, could be an ocean world filled with life. A new study led by ETH Zurich shows that such sub-Neptune planets are far drier than previously assumed, making them poor candidates for habitable conditions.
"Water on planets is much more limited than previously believed," said ETH Zurich professor Caroline Dorn. The stud NASA modifies Dream Chaser ISS cargo contract as Sierra Space shifts to defense work
