LUNA: Europe’s Moon on Earth
Video:
00:02:21
ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer walks across the dusty terrain of LUNA, Europe's Moon on Earth. Nearby, ESA's Argonaut lander mock-up stands ready as he carefully navigates the simulated regolith - the dust, soil and rock on the Moon's surface. Alongside a fellow operator, he rehearses a moonwalk under the harsh glare of Sun simulators that mimic lunar lighting to test scientific tools designed to analyse lunar soil and rock.
ESA's robotic explorers, Interact and Spot, join the scene. Spot, the agile robot dog, picks up a sample while Interact, a wheeled robotic arm, supports this rehearsal of autonomous

SpaceX set a milestone Thursday morning as it marked the 130th launch of its Falcon 9 rocket.
The Falcon 9 that launched 28 Starlink satellites took off at 5:57 a.m. EDT Thursday morning from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and deployed the devices into low-Earth orbit some 64 minutes after leaving the planet.
It represented Falcon 9's 130th flight of the year, only SpaceX launches rockets from opposite coasts, ties mission total
SpaceX launched a pair of Falcon 9 rockets from opposite coasts Sunday, sending a total of 56 satellites into low-Earth orbit, adding to the growing Starlink commercial fleet.
The first launch occurred at 1:39 p.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral.
Space Force Station and the second lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Station in California at 12:24 p.m. PDT.
The first launch mar Sentinel-1D fuelled and ready for encapsulation
The launch campaign of the next satellite to join the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission is progressing on schedule for launch on Tuesday, 4 November, on board an Ariane 6 rocket.
Conditions right Thursday night for Northern Lights in 15 states
The Aurora Borealis, typically only seen in the farthest northern reaches in the coldest winter months, could be visible in 15 U.S. states Thursday night, scientists reported.
The National Atmospheric Oceanic and Administration issued a geomagnetic storm watch for Thursday, which is responsible for the Northern Lights' unusual geographical visibility.
The storm has prompted a ser China marks milestone 600th Long March rocket launch
China's Long March rocket series has reached a major milestone with its 600th flight, following the successful launch of a Long March-8A vehicle that deployed a new group of internet satellites into orbit on Thursday.
Since its debut more than five decades ago, the Long March family has carried nearly 1,400 spacecraft into orbit, accounting for over 86 percent of China's total space laun
Quantum radio receiver uses laser light and atomic resonance to detect microwaves
Researchers at the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Physics and the Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies (QOT) have created a new class of all-optical radio receivers that operate using the quantum properties of Rydberg atoms. Powered entirely by laser light, the system eliminates traditional metal antennas and offers self-calibrating, ultra-sensitive detection of radio signals.
