Boeing is making significant progress in the production of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) core stages. As the completion of NASA’s second SLS core stage at the Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans nears, Boeing is also continuing the production of hardware for the next two units. However, there is a change in the […]

Tropical forests play an important role in Earth’s climate system by absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. However, accurately measuring and reporting the amount of carbon they absorb, store, and release is a complex task due to variations in measurement methods. This information is vital for nations to assess their efforts in combating the climate crisis. […]

The Earth’s climate is changing at an alarming rate, and the warning signs are all around us. From shrinking ice sheets to rising sea levels and dying coral reefs, the planet is undergoing large-scale changes that could have irreversible consequences. But what is even more worrying is the possibility of reaching climate ‘tipping points’—critical thresholds […]

ESA’s Young Professionals Satellite, YPSat, is making significant progress as it undergoes its final testing before being integrated onto the Ariane 6 for its inaugural flight. YPSat is a unique project led by ESA Young Professionals, giving them hands-on experience in designing, building, and testing hardware for space missions. The recent testing of YPSat took […]

The Copernicus Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide Monitoring (CO2M) mission is set to revolutionize our understanding of carbon dioxide emissions and their impact on climate change. As the first satellite mission dedicated to measuring human-induced carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere, CO2M represents an important step in our commitment to mitigating the effects of global warming. One […]

ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen recently made a series of calls to various ESERO establishments in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Over 1000 eager students eagerly awaited their turn to ask questions about life in space and the potential benefits of scientific research on the International Space Station (ISS) for life on Earth. This interaction provided […]

In December 1993, the Hubble Space Telescope underwent a critical repair mission after it was discovered that its optics were faulty. The telescope, which was launched in 1990, suffered from spherical aberration, meaning that the light rays did not converge at the same focal point. This affected the clarity and quality of the telescope’s observations. […]

The James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), has made a groundbreaking discovery. Scientists using the telescope have found water and other important molecules within the inner regions of a protoplanetary disk located around a star. What makes this finding even more remarkable […]
