With new analysis, Apollo samples brought to Earth in 1972 reveal exotic sulfur hidden in Moon's mantle
Providence RI (SPX) Oct 07, 2025
When astronauts returned from NASA's final Apollo Moon mission in 1972, some of the samples they collected were sealed and carefully stored away in the hope that future researchers using advanced equipment might analyze them and make new discoveries.
Now, a research team led by a Brown University professor has done just that. In a study published in JGR: Planets, researchers report a sulfu

We need a solar sail probe to detect space tornadoes earlier, more accurately
Ann Arbor, MI (SPX) Oct 07, 2025
Spirals of solar wind can spin off larger solar eruptions and disrupt Earth's magnetic field, yet they are too difficult to detect with our current single-location warning system, according to a new study from the University of Michigan.
But a constellation of spacecraft, including one that sails on sunlight, could help find the tornado-like features in time to protect equipment on Earth a

Sharper than ever: New algorithm brings the stars into greater focus
Baltimore MD (SPX) Oct 01, 2025
Johns Hopkins applied mathematicians and astronomers have developed a new method to render images from ground-based telescopes as clear as those taken from space, a process that stands to expand the benefits of Earth-based instruments.
Using algorithms that can strip away atmospheric interference, the researchers have made it possible for Earth-bound telescopes to produce some of the deepe

Shield or Spark? The U.S. Golden Dome and the New Missile Arms Race
Budapest, Hungary (SPX) Oct 06, 2025
The launch of the US 'Golden Dome' missile defence initiative has already set in motion ripple effects across the globe. Rival nations are considering their own layered missile defence architectures, and experts warn this may trigger a new era of competitive missile development. What began as a domestic shield is now fuelling a missile defence arms race, with competitors racing to counter, repli

Space Force awards launch missions to SpaceX, ULA
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 07, 2025
The U.S. Space Force announced winning bids for missions, and SpaceX is the clear favorite.
Space Systems Command awarded seven National Security Space Launch contracts last week. Five of the missions were awarded to SpaceX for $714 million. United Launch Alliance got the other two, worth $428 million. Blue Origin didn't qualify because its New Glenn rocket still needs certification for na

TakeMe2Space and AICRAFT partner to deliver orbital data centre infrastructure
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 01, 2025
AICRAFT of Australia and India's TakeMe2Space (TM2S) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate AICRAFT's edge computing systems into the TM2S satellite constellation from 2026. The collaboration will begin with a hosted payload mission in 2026, after which AICRAFT's high-performance, low-power edge devices will become a core part of TM2S' orbiting platform.
