Mars, now a cold and dry planet, once had liquid water, which raises the possibility of ancient life. In pursuit of this idea, researchers at Tohoku University developed a model showing how organic matter could have formed in Mars' ancient atmosphere. Organic matter, which can originate from living organisms or chemical processes, contains carbon isotopes that give clues about its formatio

New NASA research reveals a process to generate extremely accurate eclipse maps, which plot the predicted path of the Moon's shadow as it crosses the face of Earth. Traditionally, eclipse calculations assume that all observers are at sea level on Earth and that the Moon is a smooth sphere that is perfectly symmetrical around its center of mass. As such, these calculations do not take into accoun

A collaborative study by the Smithsonian and the University of Arizona provides the most detailed analysis yet of Earth's global temperature fluctuations over the last 485 million years. The research, published in 'Science' on Sept. 19, reveals a more significant variation in Earth's temperature over time than previously understood. These changes closely align with levels of carbon dioxide in th

According to a large team of technical and health specialists, astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft will be well protected from radiation when the Artemis II mission travels to the moon and back next year.

In their study published in the journal Nature, the group analyzed data collected from inside and outside the Orion spacecraft as it made two flybys in 2022. They also studied data from sensors on the spacesuits worn by two dummies that went along for the ride.

NASA plans to send four astronauts to the moon next year as part of the Artemis II . The astronauts will be carried to the moon in the Orion spacecraft, where they will conduct a flyby before returning to Earth.

For this new study, the research team studied data from the Artemis I mission, which conducted a similar trip with dummies instead of human astronauts.

Greek CubeSats workshop at ESTEC

It's been just over one year since ESA placed contracts for seven Greek CubeSat missions, which aim to enhance Greece's space capabilities while providing practical benefits to citizens. These CubeSats, developed by small and medium-sized companies and universities across Greece, underscore the nation's expanding space industry and its commitment to advancing space applications, such as secure optical and radio frequency (RF) connectivity, IoT communications, earth observation and RF spectrum monitoring. The missions are a collaboration of scientists, engineers and space industry partners from across Greece.

NASA has finished building its spacecraft bus to deploy the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope into orbit after the space agency finishes installing its scientific instruments and the telescope. "They call it a spacecraft bus for a reason," said Jackie Townsend, deputy project manager for the Roman Telescope. "It gets the telescope to where it needs to be in space." Townsend said

A recent analysis of lunar maps has revealed multiple sources of water and hydroxyl in the sunlit regions of the Moon's surface, including water-rich rocks uncovered by meteor impacts across various latitudes. "Future astronauts may be able to find water even near the equator by exploiting these water-rich areas. Previously, it was thought that only the polar region, particularly the deepl
