🚀 Studies of solar flares important in the search for alien life
Scientists have measured the most powerful solar flare ever observed from our neighboring star Proxima Centauri. The discovery may be vital in the search for alien life and may have a significant impact on future studies.
🚀 MOXIE is generating oxygen on Mars to prepare for manned missions
MOXIE is a small box in the size of a car battery, designed by NASA to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen- in a similar way to photosynthesis in plants. The oxygen generating box is right now on the surface of Mars together with the rover Perseverance, ready to be tested during coming experiments.
🚀 Robotic hamster ball will explore caves on the moon
ESA wants to explore kilometer long lava caves hidden below the lunar surface with the help of a robotic “hamster” ball. Water and other essential materials may be hidden in the extensive lava tubes, waiting to be explored.
🚀 Deep Space Food Challenge – change the food industry of space travel
In the deep space food challenge, NASA is inviting you to change the food industry of space travel. The contests’ goal is to develop innovative food and systems that are good for us and the planet, at the same time as being suitable for longer space journeys.
🚀 The hotel of the future is in space - and has artificial gravity
The organization Orbital Assembly Corporation wants to change the space industry by building the first commercial space station with artificial gravity.
🚀 Make space your workplace: ESA is recruiting new astronauts
Many children dream about exploring space, to find new planets and to travel to distant galaxies. Movies like Interstellar and Star Wars make us long for intergalactic adventure. Now you have the chance to finally leave your office behind to become an astronaut, and make that adventure your own.
🛰 Dancing exoplanets challenge our understanding of planet formation
We explore new planets every day, called exoplanets (extrasolar planets), each one telling us something new about the place we call home.
🚀 A robotic dog will explore the caves of Mars using artificial intelligence
A robotic “dog” will explore the caves of our red neighbor using new technology. The robot will be able to learn about its surroundings and, while exploring, it will be able to send information to a communication module on the surface.
🛰 Elon Musk delivers internet of the future with Starlink satellites
Slow connections and lagging video calls will be extinct with Elon Musks’ Starlink satellites. SpaceX's division Starlink is building a network of satellite-routers with the capacity to globalize the internet once and for all.
