NASA Study Reveals Venus Crust Surprise
Tuesday, 13 May 2025 12:41
New details about the crust on Venus include some surprises about the geology of Earth's hotter twin, according to new NASA-funded research that describes movements of the planet's crust.
Scientists expected the outermost layer of Venus' crust would grow thicker and thicker over time given its apparent lack of forces that would drive the crust back into the planet's interior. But the paper NASA Cleanroom Microbes Reveal Survival Strategies for Space and Biotech

Researchers from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), and institutes across India and Saudi Arabia have discovered 26 new bacterial species in the cleanrooms used to assemble spacecraft. These microbes exhibit genetic traits linked to extreme resilience, offering insights into how life might survive in space and potential biotech applica HEO and BAE Systems Forge Partnership for Advanced Space Data Analysis
Tuesday, 13 May 2025 12:41
HEO and BAE Systems have announced a collaboration aimed at delivering a comprehensive geospatial exploitation solution that integrates HEO's resolved Non-Earth Imagery (NEI) with BAE Systems' latest SOCET GXP software capability, Non-Earth Registration (NER). This combined approach enables the creation of precise sensor models for HEO's NEI data, enhancing customers' ability to derive critical Astrophysicist searches for gravitational waves in new way

University of Colorado Boulder astrophysicist Jeremy Darling is pursuing a new way of measuring the universe's gravitational wave background-the constant flow of waves that churn through the cosmos, warping the very fabric of space and time.
The research, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, could one day help to unlock some of the universe's deepest mysteries, including how gra Galileo satellite GSAT0104 retires after 12 years of navigation service

Thank you for your service, Galileo GSAT0104
Tuesday, 13 May 2025 07:47
On 12 March 2013, Galileo satellite GSAT0104, alongside its fellow In-Orbit Validation (IOV) satellites, made history by enabling the first position fix by Europe’s independent satellite navigation system Galileo. Now, after 12 years of service mostly in the area of Search and Rescue, GSAT0104 makes history again by becoming the first satellite in the Galileo constellation to be decommissioned.

Webb reveals new details and mysteries in Jupiter’s aurora
Monday, 12 May 2025 11:00
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured new details of the auroras on our Solar System’s largest planet. The dancing lights observed on Jupiter are hundreds of times brighter than those seen on Earth. With Webb’s advanced sensitivity, astronomers have studied the phenomena to better understand Jupiter’s magnetosphere.

Inside a spherical cagelike structure, a small platform slowly spins as if floating. A single, bright lamp illuminates the scene, simulating the Sun. This setup constitutes the European Space Agency’s brand new facility for the testing of CubeSats – small satellites, usually no larger than a shoebox and weighing only a few kilograms.
This space-simulating facility, built for ESA by University of Bologna and Nautilus - Navigation in Space, is part of the Attitude and Control System (AOCS) & Pointing Systems laboratory at ESTEC, the Agency’s technical centre.
Just like any piece of machinery destined for space, CubeSats undergo
Accelerating Mathematical Discovery with AI for Tomorrow's Breakthroughs
