NASA's SPHEREx mission has begun producing a comprehensive map of the sky in 102 infrared colors. This telescope explores the echoes of the Big Bang by creating a 3D map of galaxies and searching for water ice and organic molecules, key ingredients for life, all of which are publicly available to scientists around the world.
The successful launch of the MTG-S1 satellite and the Copernicus Sentinel-4 instrument opens a new chapter in Earth's atmosphere observation. These advanced missions, located in geostationary orbit, will provide key data to more accurately predict severe storms and closely monitor air pollution levels across Europe and North Africa, taking a significant step in protecting life and the environment.
The new third-generation Meteosat MTG-S1 satellite, with the revolutionary Copernicus Sentinel-4 instrument, is ready for launch from Cape Canaveral. This mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) brings a milestone in monitoring extreme weather conditions and air quality, providing temperature, humidity and pollutant data over Europe with unprecedented precision.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched the SysNova challenge in search of groundbreaking mission concepts. The goal is to harness disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum and neuromorphic computing to overcome the limitations of existing satellites and transform Earth observation into concrete action.
As part of Axiom Mission 4, astronauts aboard the ISS are testing Oura Ring wearable sleep quality monitoring technology. The project, a collaboration of Booz Allen, Axiom Space and Oura, uses edge computing to analyze biometric data in real time, increasing crew autonomy for future long-term space missions.
A recent mit study reveals that a combination of the Moon's weak magnetic field and the asteroid's powerful impact could have temporarily boosted magnetism on its far side. This theory explains magnetic anomalies in rocks near the moon's south pole.
