20 Years Ago: Remembering Columbia and Her Crew

Houston TX (SPX) Jan 26, 2023
The year 2003 was shaping up to be an ambitious one for NASA, with six space shuttle missions planned, five to continue construction of the ever-growing and permanently occupied International Space Station. The first flight of the year, STS-107 aboard NASA's oldest orbiter Columbia, the first shuttle mission dedicated to microgravity research in nearly five years, would not travel to the space s

New data platform to host Copernicus Earth observation data

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 26, 2023
Remote sensing data reveals the state of our planet and allows us to look into Earth's past: it is an indispensable tool to help us better understand and protect our planet. How can we secure this tool long term while providing continuous access? The European Copernicus Earth observation programme seeks to answer this question.

Your blogger is a little tired right now... I am just back from a field trip to the salt flats in Botswana, guided by colleagues from BIUST University, walking, viewing and sampling in 38C heat. It was great to walk around and see with my own eyes geology relevant to Mars here on Earth. This enhances my - and more generally our - understanding of the physical and chemical processes that underly

Phew! Truck-sized asteroid misses Earth

Los Angeles (AFP) Jan 27, 2023
Bruce Willis: you can stand down.
A truck-sized asteroid that suddenly loomed out of the darkness a few days ago - with the Earth in its sights - sailed harmlessly past us on Thursday, space scientists said.
Despite what we've seen in movies like "Armageddon," no global mission to blow it up or knock it off course with nuclear weapons was required.
Instead, Asteroid 2023 BU whizze

How cells could help Artemis astronauts exercise
Write a comment
In 2033, NASA and China plan to send the first crewed missions to Mars. These missions will launch every two years when Earth and Mars are at the closest points in their orbits (Mars Opposition). It will take these missions six to nine months to reach the Red Planet using conventional technology. This means that astronauts could spend up to a year and a half in microgravity, followed by months of surface operations in Martian gravity (roughly 40% of Earth gravity). This could have drastic consequences for astronaut health, including muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and psychological effects.
Aboard the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts maintain a strict exercise regimen to mitigate these effects.
