Find out what scientists discovered when NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through a reconnection event in the solar wind in 2022. The data show that protons and heavy ions accelerate differently – a detail that changes models of solar storms and risks to technology.
Find out what the new phase of ESA’s HydRON project brings, in which Canada’s Kepler is leading the development of an optical network for faster and more secure data transfer between satellites and Earth. We bring an overview of the technology, partners and the project’s significance for the European space industry.
Find out how NASA's Artemis II mission returned a human crew to the vicinity of the Moon after more than half a century, broke the record for distance from Earth, and opened the way for new lunar missions, scientific research, and preparations for Artemis III.
Find out why the successful test of the ROSE-L satellite antenna is important for Europe and Copernicus. We bring an overview of the mission’s development, the role of ESA, Airbus and Thales Alenia Space, and an explanation of how the new L-band radar will help monitor soil, forests, ice, the sea and natural hazards.
Find out what the launch of Artemis II means, the first human flight toward the Moon since the Apollo program. We bring an overview of the mission goals, the role of the crew, scientific experiments, and the broader significance of NASA’s return to the lunar route at a moment when a new chapter of space exploration is opening once again.
Find out what the new James Webb telescope images reveal about the Tau 042021 and Oph 163131 systems. We bring an overview of how protoplanetary disks form, why their edge-on position is important, and why astronomers see a possible trace of planet formation in one of them.
