Zoom into the first page of ESA Euclid’s great cosmic atlas
On 15 October 2024, ESA’s Euclid space mission reveals the first piece of its great map of the Universe, showing millions of stars and galaxies.
Navigation tech for the future of mobility
Where would we be without our GNSS-enabled car navigation systems or navigation apps on our smartphone? Space technology, particularly global navigation satellite systems like the European Galileo, is the backbone of today's mobility and transport.
But are current technologies and systems enough to meet the evolving mobility needs of the future? The European Space Agency is closely monitoring emerging technology trends and staying ahead of the curve, designing and developing the future of Galileo and EGNOS, and conceiving new missions and programmes so that European space technology continues to serve the demands of an increasingly interconnected and mobile world.

Artist's impression of Lunar Pathfinder Using roaches to minimise waste in space
Waste management is a critical challenge for spaceflight. But what if the waste produced by astronauts could be sustainably transformed into something valuable in space? A Polish company thought about that and has come up an innovative solution: an insect bioreactor powered by Madagascar cockroaches.
VISIMO to Test Autonomous AI System for Spacecraft Decision Support
VISIMO, a technology company based in Pittsburgh, PA, will test its autonomous AI system designed for decision support on an upcoming mission conducted by ABOVE Space Development Corporation, a company known for developing adaptable space platforms for commercial and defense sectors.
Deep-space missions present significant challenges, requiring spacecraft to handle unforeseen issues and sy New quantum clock combines multiple atomic timekeepers
Imagine a room filled with grandfather clocks, each ticking at a unique pace. Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created an atomic-scale equivalent of that scene. Their work may lead to new types of optical atomic clocks, which track time by measuring the natural oscillations of atoms.
The new quantum clock, b
