China’s main space contractor, CASC, has made space-based data centers a key part of its new five-year plan, joining U.S. firms like SpaceX in the race to build solar-powered orbital computing infrastructure and overcome Earth’s energy and land limitations.
Scientists from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and UCLA have identified Alfvén waves as the “space battery” powering Earth’s auroras. This universal mechanism, confirmed by NASA satellite data, explains how electric fields accelerate particles to create the Northern Lights and applies to other planets.
NASA’s next Artemis mission, Artemis II, will be the first crewed flight of the Artemis programme. Marking a historic milestone
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists Travis Yeager and Denvir Higgins used Quartz and Ruby supercomputers to simulate one million stable orbits in cislunar space. Their open-source dataset, created in just three days, is a foundational tool for future lunar missions and space traffic management.
Exclusive reporting reveals Russia’s Luch-1 and Luch-2 satellites have intercepted communications from 17+ EU satellites. This years-long espionage campaign targets unencrypted command links, giving Moscow data that could be used to manipulate or crash critical orbital infrastructure.
NASA’s Artemis III astronauts will wear a new-generation space suit developed by Axiom Space, designed to provide enhanced mobility and
NASA’s Perseverance rover, which landed in Jezero Crater on Mars in 2021 to investigate evidence of ancient life, made its
As intense radiation flooded Earth’s upper atmosphere, a strong X4.2-class solar flare on Wednesday disrupted radio communications in parts of
A defunct Russian military satellite, previously used to closely inspect other spacecraft, appears to have violently broken apart in a
MIT physicists at CERN have found the first direct proof that the early universe’s quark-gluon plasma flows like a liquid. By detecting wakes left by speeding quarks, Professor Yen-Jie Lee’s team confirms the trillion-degree “primordial soup” behaved as a near-perfect fluid in its first microseconds.
