Denmark becomes 48th nation to sign Artemis Accords for space exploration
Denmark is a founding member of the European Space Agency and on Wednesday formally committed to safe and responsible space exploration that benefits humanity by signing the Artemis Accords. The United States and seven other nations created the Artemis Accords in 2020 to provide principles, grounded in the Outer Space Treaty and other international agreements, regarding space exploratio
NASA Stennis maintains vital role in space propulsion testing
Workers who established NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, likely did not foresee the legacy they were building - one of resilience and enduring impact. Braving mosquitoes, snakes, hurricanes, and the intense heat of southern Mississippi, early crews set the tone for a culture defined by adaptability. That spirit persists at NASA Stennis, now celebrating over 60 y
NASA Stennis a leading hub for commercial aerospace collaboration
NASA's work has been pivotal in propelling commercial spaceflight, with NASA's Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, serving as a launch point for numerous aerospace endeavors. As the nation's largest propulsion test site, Stennis is recognized for collaborating with aerospace companies to meet their diverse testing needs and aims to expand its commercial partnerships even further.
Metakosmos introduces Kernel360 platform to advance human spaceflight capabilities
Metakosmos, a prominent player in spacesuit technology, has announced the launch of Kernel360, an innovative bioastronautics platform built to enhance human spaceflight in diverse settings, including land, sea, air, and space. The modular platform pairs telemetry software with adaptive suits to provide real-time performance data, bolstering astronaut safety and optimizing training costs. K
NORR and Fire Arrow join forces for sustainable spaceport projects
The rising demand for space-based insights to bolster industries, environmental efforts, security, and global communities has fueled nations' interest in building their own launch capabilities. Fire Arrow, headquartered in Scotland with international operations, is advancing its efforts to meet this demand by facilitating the development of licensed global launch sites. The company special
Swift studies gas-churning monster black holes
Scientists using observations from NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have discovered, for the first time, the signal from a pair of monster black holes disrupting a cloud of gas in the center of a galaxy. "It's a very weird event, called AT 2021hdr, that keeps recurring every few months," said Lorena Hernandez-Garcia, an astrophysicist at the Millennium Institute of Astrophysics, the M
Ion dynamics examined as comet 67P awakens from dormancy
A recent doctoral thesis at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) and Umea University sheds light on how the interaction between comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and the solar wind evolves as the comet moves closer to the Sun. Research conducted by Anja Moslinger delves into the intricate motion of ions during this transition phase. As a comet approaches the Sun, its interaction with
Meteorite contains evidence of liquid water on Mars 742M years ago
An asteroid struck Mars 11 million years ago and sent pieces of the red planet hurtling through space. One of these chunks of Mars eventually crashed into the Earth somewhere near Purdue and is one of the few meteorites that can be traced directly to Mars. This meteorite was rediscovered in a drawer at Purdue University in 1931 and therefore named the Lafayette Meteorite. During early inve
NASA's California-based Jet Propulsion Lab cuts 325 jobs after 500 in early round
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has laid-off an additional 325 workers after an earlier round of 500 job cuts earlier in the year, largely because of budgetary constraints. "The impacts are occurring across technical, business and support areas of the Laboratory," JPL officials wrote in a Tuesday update. NASA's federally-funded JPL is managed by the California Institute of Techn
