New Team Evaluates Plans for NASA's Mars Sample Return Program
Write a comment
NASA has formed a new strategy review team to assess potential changes in the Mars Sample Return Program's architecture, a significant initiative aimed at returning carefully selected Martian samples to Earth. This effort represents a crucial part of NASA's broader mission to deepen understanding of the solar system and address the question of whether life ever existed on Mars.
Earlier thi Astronomers Use New Technique to Search for Alien Signals Between Planets
Write a comment
A new search technique has allowed astronomers to target exoplanets that align with Earth and each other in search of radio signals that could indicate interplanetary communication. Penn State researchers, in collaboration with the SETI Institute, recently conducted a 28-hour search of the TRAPPIST-1 system using the Allen Telescope Array (ATA), marking the most extensive investigation of its ki The origin of most meteorites traced to three asteroid families
Write a comment
An international research team, including scientists from the CNRS, the European Southern Observatory, and Charles University, has traced the origins of 70% of known meteorite falls to three asteroid families in the main asteroid belt. These families - Karin, Koronis, and Massalia - were formed by collisions occurring 5.8, 7.5, and around 40 million years ago. The new findings, which have identi Future of Copernicus Expansion Missions secured

VAST focus of future space frequencies HydRON: Satellites using lasers for faster data sharing
Write a comment
At the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Milan this week, ESA signed a contract for Element #1, the first phase of the HydRON Demonstration System. HydRON, which stands for High thRoughput Optical Network, is set to transform the way data-collecting satellites communicate, using laser technology that will allow satellites to connect with each other and ground networks much faster.
