First MetOp Second Generation satellite fuelled
The journey to launch is picking up pace for Europe’s MetOp Second Generation weather satellite – which hosts the Copernicus Sentinel-5 as part of its instrument package. Specialists at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou have completed the critical and hazardous task of fuelling the satellite, marking a major milestone in its final preparations for liftoff.
Young magmas on the came from much shallower depths
New research on the rocks collected by China's Chang'e 5 mission is rewriting our understanding of how the moon cooled. Stephen Elardo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of Geological Sciences with the University of Florida, has found that lava on the near side of the moon likely came from a much shallower depth than previously thought, contradicting previous theories on how the moon produced lavas JunoCam revived by onboard heat treatment just in time for Io flyby
NASA's Juno spacecraft, currently orbiting Jupiter, narrowly salvaged its onboard JunoCam imager through a remote thermal repair maneuver executed in December 2023. The move, initiated from over 370 million miles away, enabled the camera to capture unprecedented views of Io during a close approach. The repair effort was detailed by mission engineers on July 16 at the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radia CTAO telescope uncovers fresh evidence for layered jet structures in historic gamma ray burst
The CTAO LST Collaboration has unveiled critical insights into gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets following detailed analysis of GRB 221009A-the most luminous GRB ever observed. The results, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, draw from 2022 observations using the LST-1, a prototype Large-Sized Telescope stationed at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the CTAO-North site in La Palma, Diverse rocky planets found around nearby red dwarf including one in the habitable zone
A Canadian-led team has revealed the most detailed analysis yet of the L 98-59 planetary system, confirming the presence of a fifth planet within its habitable zone. The system, located just 35 light-years from Earth, hosts a strikingly diverse group of rocky exoplanets orbiting a small red dwarf star.
