Europe's newest rocket, Ariane 6, is set to launch soon, carrying multiple space missions with unique objectives. This inaugural flight will highlight Ariane 6's versatility and heavy-lift capabilities. Among the payloads is SIDLOC, an experiment by the Greek non-profit Libre Space Foundation (LSF), aimed at enhancing space safety through rapid identification and localization of spacecraft.

Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its behavior during fusion to keep it hot, dense and stable. A new theoretical model about a plasma's edge, which can become unstable and bulge, brings the prospect of commercial fusion power closer to reality.
"The model refines the thinking on stabilizing the edge of the plasma for different tokamak shapes," said Jason Par
