The European Space Agency Council has approved the reassignment of Laurent Jaffart, currently Director of Connectivity and Secure Communications (D/CSC) to the newly created position of Director of Resilience, Navigation and Connectivity Directorate (D/RNC), which will take effect from 1 February 2026.
New satellite view of Tibet’s tectonic clash
Friday, 30 January 2026 09:00
A study on tectonic plates that converge on the Tibetan Plateau has shown that Earth’s fault lines are far weaker and the continents are less rigid than scientists previously thought. This finding is based on ground-monitoring satellite data.
NASA Heat Shield Technology Enables Space Industry Growth
Friday, 30 January 2026 08:12
Using cutting-edge material licensed from NASA, a protective heat shield manufactured in-house by Varda Space Industries for the first time enabled one of its capsules to blaze through Earth's atmosphere on Thursday, marking a significant milestone for the agency and America's space industry. The material, known as C-PICA (Conformal Phenolic Impregnated Carbon Ablator), provides a stronger, less Rocket Lab conducts second Electron mission in eight days to orbit Korean imaging satellite
Friday, 30 January 2026 08:12
Rocket Lab Corporation has completed its 81st Electron mission, successfully deploying an Earth observation satellite for the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and marking its second launch in just eight days.
The mission, named Bridging The Swarm, lifted off on January 30 at 2:21 p.m. NZDT (01:21 UTC) from Rocket Lab's Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand to place the China sea launch boosts private rocket activity in 2026

Galactic Energy has opened Chinas 2026 commercial launch campaign with a pre dawn sea based mission of its Ceres 1 carrier rocket on January 17, extending the companys record of frequent small satellite launches from both land and ocean platforms.
The latest flight lifted off at 4:10 am local time from a mobile barge in the Yellow Sea off the coast of Shandong province, sending four commer New clues to Mars habitability in discovery of ancient beach
Friday, 30 January 2026 08:12
New findings from NASAs Perseverance rover have revealed evidence of wave-formed beaches and rocks altered by subsurface water in a Martian crater that once held a vast lake - considerably expanding the timeline for potential habitability at this ancient site.
In an international study led by Imperial College London, researchers uncovered that the so-called Margin unit in Marss Jezero crat Networks ready to keep Artemis II crew connected around the Moon
Friday, 30 January 2026 08:12
NASA is preparing a pair of global communications networks to keep the four-person Artemis II crew connected with Earth as they travel from low Earth orbit to a loop around the Moon and back. The mission will fly astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket as part of the agency's broader effort to build a sustained human presence in deep space and eventually send crews Quark wakes reveal early universe plasma flowed like a liquid
Friday, 30 January 2026 08:12
In its first instants, the universe formed a searing quark gluon plasma in which quarks and gluons moved at near light speed before cooling to build the protons and neutrons that dominate matter today.
Physicists at CERNs Large Hadron Collider are recreating this primordial plasma by smashing together heavy ions at relativistic energies, briefly liberating quarks and gluons so they can pro Radio view of rare supernova tracks dying star's final decade
Friday, 30 January 2026 08:12
As from a rare kind of stellar explosion known as a Type Ibn supernova, giving them an unusually detailed look at the final decade in the life of a massive star before it died. The observations capture how the star shed large amounts of helium-rich gas shortly before it exploded, providing a record of its late-stage evolution.
