China has introduced an innovative two-stage, fully reusable heavy rocket design during the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, highlighting unique recovery techniques for each stage of the rocket. The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) stated that China's future heavy-lift rocket lineup would feature three main configurations: a three-stage model, a

Zoom into Solar Orbiter's four new Sun images, assembled from high-resolution observations by the spacecraft's PHI and EUI instruments made on 22 March 2023. The PHI images are the highest-resolution full views of the Sun's visible surface to date, including maps of the Sun's messy magnetic field and movement on the surface. These can be compared to the new EUI image, which reveals the Sun's glowing outer atmosphere, or corona.

At ESA, through the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems programme, we’re addressing solutions for when safety and security of communication services cannot be guaranteed by the terrestrial networks alone. With our programme Space systems for Safety and Security, or 4S, we are pioneering cutting-edge development of secure and resilient satellite communication systems, technologies and services to improve life on Earth. 

Picture a world where our critical infrastructure is protected from cyber threats, and where communication links work when the world around them doesn't. A transportation network where safety is not just a priority, but a guarantee. Where air traffic flows

ESA is working on 5G-HOSTS-SAT to demonstrate how 5G satellite and terrestrial communication networks can work together to solve real-world challenges. The project focuses on two critical areas: smart agriculture and emergency response.
