Novel strategy proposed for massive water production on the moon
Water plays a crucial role in human survival on the lunar surface, thus attracting extensive research attention. Prof. Wang Junqiang's team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has recently developed a new method of massive water production through a reaction between lunar regolith and endogenous hydrogen.
Research results of previous lunar explorations, like the Apollo and Chang'E-5 missions, have revealed the widespread presence of water on the moon. However, the water content in lunar minerals is extremely low, ranging from 0.0001% to 0.02%. It remains challenging to extract and utilize water in situ on the moon.
"We used lunar regolith samples brought back by the Chang'E-5 mission in our study, trying to find a way to produce water on the moon," said Wang.

Scientists investigate cosmic chemistry for clues to life's origins
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 21, 2024
Researchers are exploring the chemical processes in space that could have led to the formation of prebiotic molecules, which are crucial to the development of life on Earth and potentially elsewhere. A study led by undergraduate students Kennedy Barnes and Rong Wu at Wellesley College, under the guidance of professors Christopher Arumainayagam and James Battat, focuses on the impact of low-energ

Juice captures striking image of Moon during flyby
Paris, France (SPX) Aug 21, 2024
In a pivotal moment during the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission, the spacecraft captured an impressive image of the Moon while performing the first-ever lunar-Earth flyby.
This image was taken by Juice's monitoring camera 1 (JMC1) at 23:25 CEST on 19 August 2024, shortly after the spacecraft made its closest pass by the Moon. This maneuver successfully altered Juice's trajectory,

The means for mapping Martian meteorites
London, Canada (SPX) Aug 20, 2024
Researchers have identified the specific locations from which most of the approximately 200 Martian meteorites originate. They've traced the meteorites to five impact craters within two volcanic regions on the red planet called Tharsis and Elysium. Their study was published recently in the journal Science Advances.

UK to build military test site to combat GPS jamming
London (AFP) Aug 20, 2024
The UK is to build a new facility to help protect military equipment against foreign GPS jamming, the defence ministry announced on Wednesday amid a rise in hostile threats.
The so-called silent hangar site will aim to protect equipment from "attempts to jam GPS devices" and develop kit that can "perform in the harshest electromagnetic environment on operations", the MoD said.
