Revolutionary Passive Systems Transform Plant Watering in Microgravity
NASA is advancing innovative microgravity fluid management technologies that pave the way for efficient plant watering in space-without the need for moving parts.
Feeding astronauts on deep space missions with fresh produce will require robust plant cultivation methods. However, watering plants in microgravity presents unique problems. Without gravity, bubbles don't rise and droplets don't SpaceX deploys 23 Starlink satellites in first launch for new Falcon 9 booster
SpaceX successfully launched 23 Starlink satellites from Florida in the first launch of its new Falcon 9 booster.
SpaceX confirmed early Wednesday that the satellites were deployed into low-Earth orbit before the booster landed on a SpaceX drone ship positioned in the Atlantic Ocean.
The mission was slated for Monday, but the rocket auto-aborted two minutes and 28 seconds before NASA's Mars Perseverance snaps a selfie as a Martian dust devil blows by

Rice engineers develop resonant energy system for more efficient solar desalination
Rice University researchers have introduced a novel desalination technology designed to enhance the efficiency and adaptability of solar-powered water purification. The new system, described in a study published in Nature Water, leverages a resonant energy transfer approach that overcomes the intermittency of sunlight, a common limitation in conventional solar desalination systems.
Unlike NASA X-59's Latest Testing Milestone: Simulating Flight from the Ground
NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft successfully completed a critical series of tests in which the airplane was put through its paces for cruising high above the California desert - all without ever leaving the ground.
"The idea behind these tests is to command the airplane's subsystems and flight computer to function as if it is flying," said Yohan Lin, the X-59's lead avionics Beam-hopping JoeySat marks two years in orbit
An innovative satellite that offers reliable connectivity wherever and whenever it is needed – in crowded places such as summer festivals as well as following passengers in planes, trains and automobiles – has celebrated its second anniversary in space.
Skynet 6A reaches integration milestone as Airbus prepares next-gen military satellite
The UK's Skynet 6A military communications satellite has completed the integration of its communications and service modules, marking a key step toward deployment. Built by Airbus at its Stevenage and Portsmouth sites, the satellite achieved this milestone at the National Satellite Test Facility (NSTF) in Harwell, Oxfordshire, which is managed by RAL Space under the Science and Technology Facili
