The first MetOp Second Generation-A satellite (MetOp-SG-A1) has been fully assembled and is scheduled for launch next year, while its companion, MetOp-SG-B1, is undergoing stringent testing to ensure it can withstand the harsh conditions of space.
MetOp-SG is an advanced continuation of the original MetOp satellites, designed in three successive pairs of A-type and B-type satellites. Each

Data collected by the Tanager-1 satellite, using technology designed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), has led to the first detections of methane and carbon dioxide emissions. The nonprofit Carbon Mapper released these findings, showing methane plumes in Pakistan and Texas, and a carbon dioxide plume in South Africa.

Elon Musk on Thursday unveiled what he said was a robotaxi capable of self-driving, predicting it would be available by 2027 - about a decade after he first promised an autonomous vehicle.
The Tesla CEO said the fully electric car - which has no steering wheel or pedals - would be priced under $30,000, would be charged wirelessly with inductive technology and would be "10 to 20 times safe

The Curiosity and Perseverance Mars rovers continue to provide a wealth of information about the Red Planet. This was made possible in part by the sky crane landing systems that safely lowered them to the planet's surface. Their successful descent, managed by eight powerful engines, depended on one small part - a valve.
