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

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

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 successfully launched a remote sensing satellite for Pakistan on Thursday morning aboard a Kuaizhou 1A carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan province. The launch occurred at 10 am local time, with the solid-fueled rocket placing the satellite into its designated orbit. The satellite, designed and manufactured by the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites
