ESA space transportation accelerates disruptive innovation with FIRST!
Monday, 30 October 2023 14:05
An ESA initiative to speed the development of disruptive space technologies took a step forward this month, when a cohort of European innovators presented concepts which they hope will help Europe build commercially competitive, high-performance space transportation systems.
Webb sees Crab Nebula in new light
Monday, 30 October 2023 13:00
Although the Crab Nebula is one of the best-studied supernova remnants, questions about its progenitor, the nature of the explosion, and the composition of its ejecta still remain unanswered. The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope is on the case as it sleuths for any clues that remain within the supernova remnant. Webb’s infrared sensitivity, combined with data previously collected by other telescopes, is offering astronomers a more comprehensive understanding of the still-expanding scene.
ESA explores cultivated meat for space food
Monday, 30 October 2023 12:15
As we look ahead to long-term space missions, one of the big challenges is figuring out how to provide healthy and sustainable food for astronauts. To tackle this, ESA supported two research teams to investigate the possibility of cultivating meat in space.
ESA's new dimension in printed circuit design
Monday, 30 October 2023 12:03
This microscopic X-ray animation shows one of the key technologies allowing advanced computer functionality to fit within the smartphone in your pocket: ‘microvias’ are laser drilled holes a small fraction of a millimetre in diameter. A typical high-density interconnect printed circuit board might possess thousands of microvias, which serve to connect multiple functional layers.

Boeing pencils in anytime after April 1st for next Crew Flight Test
Monday, 30 October 2023 02:52
NASA and Boeing have moved their timelines, setting an April launch date for the Boeing Starliner Crew Flight Test (CFT) to the International Space Station (ISS). The decision for the slight delay from a March target was taken during a launch manifest evaluation, factoring in upcoming crew rotations and cargo resupply missions scheduled for this spring.
Upon satisfying NASA's stringent saf Rogue wins AFWERX contract for innovative space inspection technology
Monday, 30 October 2023 02:52
Rogue Space Systems Corporation, an emerging name in space servicing solutions, has been awarded a Direct-to-Phase II contract by AFWERX, an initiative of the U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF). The contract focuses on the incorporation of sensor fusion technology, designed to address key challenges in ensuring safe close-proximity operations in space.
