ESA’s first stand-alone deep-space CubeSat Henon takes shape
Wednesday, 29 October 2025 09:00
The European Space Agency’s upcoming Henon mission will be the first ever CubeSat to independently venture into deep space, communicate with Earth and manoeuvre to its final destination without relying on a bigger spacecraft. Once in its orbit around the Sun, the carry-on luggage-sized CubeSat will observe the Sun’s emissions to demonstrate technologies capable of providing advanced warnings of solar storms hours before they reach Earth.

A research team from Tohoku University led the first systematic optical search for counterparts to a high-energy neutrino multiplet event detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Multiplet events involve multiple neutrinos observed from a single direction in a short period, and may point to powerful cosmic phenomena such as supernovae or stars disrupted by black holes.
