The UK recently welcomed over 140 experts from across NATO member states, industry, academia, and international organisations for a high-level meeting focused on dual-use space technologies.
A new study from Kyoto University has shown that white dwarfs, which were once thought to be relatively cool and dormant, can be significantly hotter than expected when locked in tight orbits with another star.
A new manufacturing facility has been opened in Hardwickle, Gloucestershire. The 45,000 sq ft plant, established by advanced composites firm iCOMAT, is set to revolutionise the way lightweight structures for space applications are designed and built.
A milestone has been reached in the search for planets beyond our solar system. The European Space Agency's (ESA) Plato spacecraft has officially completed construction, with the final fitting of its sunshield and solar array module now in place.
The European Union's Earth observation capabilities are about to take another leap forward as Sentinel-1D, the latest addition to the Copernicus satellite family, prepares for launch on 4 November 2025.
A world-first study proves microbes essential for human health can survive the extreme forces of a space rocket launch and re-entry unharmed.
This finding by RMIT University is a major step toward sustaining life on long-duration missions to Mars.
Scientists from the Universities of Birmingham and Sussex have unveiled a compact, ground-based detector that uses atomic clock technology to detect gravitational waves in the previously inaccessible milli-Hertz frequency band, opening a new cosmic frontier.
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite has captured and transmitted its first images of Earth, which show the science and monitoring capabilities this mission will deliver soon.
Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery: a colossal 185,000 light-year-long bridge of neutral hydrogen gas linking two dwarf galaxies, NGC 4532 and DDO 137. A vast 1.6 million light-year tail accompanies it, making it the longest ever observed.
NASA is taking steps forward in lunar exploration by awarding Blue Origin a new contract to deliver its VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover) to the Moon’s South Pole in 2027.
Six new projects have received £1.5 million in funding from the UK Space Agency to harness satellite technology and artificial intelligence (AI) for tackling climate change, transforming transport, and improving accessibility across the UK.
NASA is preparing to launch a new observatory that will help scientists better understand space weather and the protective bubble that surrounds the solar system.
In the search for life beyond Earth, NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has discovered a rock sample that could preserve evidence of ancient microbial life.
Satellite navigation is slowly becoming an essential part of daily life. As our dependence on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology deepens, so does the need to protect it.
A new proposal from astrophysicist Professor Heidi Newberg at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute could change the way astronomers search for habitable planets.
