development of the fully reusable spaceflight system by expanding the performance capabilities of both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage. The fifth test flight marked a major milestone in SpaceX's iterative approach. In that mission, the Super Heavy booster successfully returned to the launch site and was caught by the "chopstick" arms of the launch and catch tower at Starbase Sentinel-1C fuelled ahead of liftoff

The European Space Agency (ESA) has taken a major step to enhance Greece's Earth observation capabilities through the signing of six key contracts. These agreements support Greece's National Satellite Space Project, a new initiative launched at the end of 2023 by the Ministry of Digital Governance to boost satellite technology and applications in the country.
This project, funded under the NASA Satellites Reveal Abrupt Drop in Global Freshwater Levels
Sunday, 17 November 2024 08:57 Write a comment
An international team of scientists using observations from NASA-German satellites found evidence that Earth's total amount of freshwater dropped abruptly starting in May 2014 and has remained low ever since. Reporting in Surveys in Geophysics, the researchers suggested the shift could indicate Earth's continents have entered a persistently drier phase.
