As climate change increases the risk of wildfires across the globe, the spate of fires that hit Canada in May and June suggest that 2023 is on course to be the country’s worst fire season to date. These fires not only Sun-watching Proba-3 formation flyers tested for take-off

ESA’s pair of Sun-watching Proba-3 satellites have been placed in take-off configuration, one on top of the other, for testing in simulated launch and space conditions at IABG in Germany, ahead of their planned lift-off next year.
Winners unravel Euclid #CosmicMystery with creative inspiration

Over 90 participants were up for the challenge to visualise just how much we know and don’t know in the Universe and explain the #CosmicMystery that ESA’s Euclid mission will soon begin to investigate. From songs, crochets and animations to apparel, paintings and baked goods, the creativity of participants amazed the judges.

Teamwork makes the dream work, and at NASA that doesn't apply only to humans. Researchers at NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley are developing satellite swarms, which are groups of spacecraft working together as a unit, without being managed individually by mission controllers.

New design for a foldable phased-array transmitter can help make satellites lightweight, smaller, and cost-efficient to launch, report scientists at Tokyo Tech. The transmitter is made of stacked layers of liquid crystal polymer and incorporates flexible creases, which provide flexibility and deployability.

There is a huge difference between looking at a photo of the Grand Canyon and seeing it in person. If you want to look at another planet's landscape, seeing it in person is not an option. That's why a team at the U.S. Geological Survey used supercomputers and cloud computing to process and release a treasure trove of ready-to-use Mars data: more than 4,800 digital terrain models, known as DTMs,

Each winter, the Geminid meteors light up the sky as they race past Earth, producing one of the most intense meteor showers in the night sky. Now, NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission is providing new evidence that a violent, catastrophic event created the Geminids.
Most meteor showers come from comets, which are made of ice and dust. When a comet travels close to the Sun, the ice evaporates
