NASA teams with India to launch Earth-tracking satellite
NASA announced Wednesday it, in a partnership with the Indian Space Research Organization, launched a radar system to map Earth as never before.
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar, or NISAR, satellite blasted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on the island of Sriharikota in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India at 8:10 a.m. EDT Wednesday.
NISAR, which NASA described in a pre China advances satellite internet network with sixth orbital deployment
China successfully launched the sixth batch of low Earth orbit internet satellites on Wednesday using a Long March 8A rocket, further expanding its national satellite internet network. The launch took place at 3:49 pm local time from the Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Center in Wenchang, as reported by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC).

Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) has announced an expanded collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), aimed at redefining satellite ground station services through a unified integration of KSAT's global infrastructure and AWS's cloud technologies.
The partnership will incorporate AWS Ground Station capabilities into KSAT's existing commercial offerings, delivering improved scalabilit Galactic Center magnetic field offers new insight into stellar evolution dynamics
A new study of the Sagittarius C region in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone has revealed a detailed portrait of the galactic magnetic field, offering fresh insight into how dense gas clouds, star formation, and high-energy particles interact at the heart of our galaxy.
Sagittarius C, a complex star-forming zone within a dense cloud ring near the Galactic Center, has long intrigued as New particle model opens overlooked pathway in dark matter search
A team of physicists from the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil has introduced a new theoretical framework that could advance the search for dark matter by focusing on inelastic particles that interact with ordinary matter through a novel type of force carrier. Their study, published in the Journal of High Energy Physics, proposes a model involving a massive vector boson that enables inter Blue Origin flies crypto entrepreneur, five others on 14th crewed New Shepard flight

European companies still in talks to combine their space businesses
Three European companies that have proposed combining their space businesses say they are still in discussions after missing a July deadline for a “go/no-go” decision on the merger.
Training robots from space

This summer, a team of robots explored a simulated martian landscape in Germany, remotely guided by an astronaut aboard the International Space Station. This marked the fourth and final session of the Surface Avatar experiment, a collaboration between ESA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to develop how astronauts can control robotic teams to perform complex tasks on the Moon and Mars.
The session introduced new levels of autonomy and complexity. NASA astronaut Jonny Kim operated two robots – ESA’s four-legged Spot and DLR’s humanoid Rollin’ Justin – to retrieve scattered sample containers and deliver them to a lander. Spot
Humans to Mars or humans exploring Mars?
We should rethink how to send humans to Mars — a goal now getting much discussion.
