Government Solutions rebadges as SES Space and Defense
SES Government Solutions (SES GS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SES, will begin operating under the new name SES Space and Defense effective immediately. The name change comes after combining SES Government Solutions with the recently acquired DRS Global Enterprise Solutions (DRS GES). The SES Space and Defense brand reflects the organization's new positioning and expanded offering serving the n Mars' thin and turbulent atmosphere leads to curiously sized dunes
Among the mountainous dunes and small, undulating ripples of Mars' desert-like surface are sand structures, intermediate in size, that are not quite like anything on Earth.
Stanford University scientists have now used an AI model to analyze a million Martian dunes and uncover how these sandy waves form on our sister planet at a scale - roughly 1 meter between crests - that previously seeme Healthier diets for astronauts on spaceflights may improve health and performance
Astronauts could be given an enhanced diet during spaceflights that includes a greater variety and quantity of fruits, vegetables, and fish to improve their health and performance compared to standard spaceflight food, reports a study published in Scientific Reports.
Although conducted in a spaceflight simulation chamber on Earth with 16 individuals, these findings may have implications for astronaut health and decisions about food resource priorities on spaceflights.
Long-duration spaceflight is known to impact human health, and spacecraft size and power constraints limit what can be taken into space. The food astronauts eat may have the potential to mitigate some negative health changes during spaceflight, but in turn the food can be limited by mass, volume, shelf-life, and storage requirements.
