The Atacama Desert in Chile, known as the world's driest location, presents a harsh environment for life due to its extreme aridity. Despite this, research has discovered thriving microbial communities within its sandy soil. Investigating the functionality of microorganisms in such an environment has been challenging because it's hard to distinguish between genetic material from living and decea Space Systems Command concludes Tetra-1 satellite mission

Since its launch on November 1, 2022, the U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command (SSC), in collaboration with Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing Company, has successfully wrapped up the Tetra-1 mission.
Tetra-1 marked the first in a series of small satellites designed to showcase how SSC collaborates with non-traditional vendors to enhance on-orbit capabilities for the Space Force. Part Think fast: A missile-defense system built for speed

Satellites positioned high above Earth transmit crucial data to the surface in under a second, appearing swiftly on a computer screen monitored by a U.S. Space Force operator. The operator's swift understanding of this data is vital for rapid decision-making during high-stakes missile defense situations.

The double-satellite Proba-3 is the most ambitious member yet of ESA’s Proba family of experimental missions. Two spacecraft will fly together as one, maintaining precise formation down to a single millimetre. One will block out the fiery disc of the Sun for the other, to enable prolonged observations of the Sun’s surrounding atmosphere, or ‘corona’, the source of the solar wind and space weather. Usually, the corona can only be glimpsed for a few minutes during terrestrial total solar eclipses. Proba-3 aims to reproduce such eclipses for up to six hours at a time, in a highly
