Ten people are now onboard the International Space Station after the arrival of three new crew members on the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft. While back on Earth, damage to the Baikonur launch pad raises questions about Russia's ability to sustain future crewed missions in the immediate term and what this means for ISS operations as pressure builds to retire and eventually deorbit the station. Soy

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But melting ice sheets don't affect sea level and temperatures in the same way everywhere. In a new study, our team of scientists investigated how ice melting in Antarctica affects global climate

Sivers Semiconductors AB has entered a $1.5 million contract with Doosan Corporation to jointly develop scalable electronically steerable array (ESA) antenna panels for Ka-band satellite communications. The agreement will support the design and development of ESA systems using Sivers' upcoming Ka-band SATCOM beamforming integrated circuits (BFICs). These advanced BFICs, designed for multi-

Japan is a lion in kittens’ clothing. In both land area and population, it pales in comparison to the likes of the United States, China, India, Brazil, and Russia.

China launched the latest in a series of experimental, often opaque satellites Sunday, while the debut flight of the commercial Zhuque-3 faces a delay.

X-MAT has announced the release of X-FOAM, a 1,300°C ceramic foam engineered for use in harsh environments demanding high thermal insulation and structural performance. This machinable ceramic foam has a thermal conductivity of only 0.034 W/m·K, on par with some aerogel products; but is stiff and hard, with a compressive strength in the hundreds to thousands of PSI. It is also very light, with a density of only 0.15g/cc, seven times less dense than water.

South Korea has completed the fourth mission of its domestically built Nuri launch vehicle, placing a primary satellite and a group of smaller payloads into orbit from the coastal village of Goheung in the south of the country. The 200-metric-ton rocket lifted off at 1:13 am local time after controllers resolved an abnormal signal from a pressure sensor that briefly delayed the planned lau
