Humans tend to take a lot for granted, even something as simple as a breath of fresh air. It's easy to forget how much our bodies depend on oxygen—until it becomes an invaluable resource, such as aboard the International Space Station.
Although astronauts are typically sent to space with stores of necessary supplies, it'd be too costly to keep sending tanks of breathable air up to the station.
The James Webb Space Telescope runs JavaScript, apparently
This knowledge base, by the way, also contains a few more details on the telescope's 68 GB SSD , saying that it can hold somewhere between 58.8 and 65 gigabytes of actual scientific data. Wait, did I forget to mention that?
Astronomical Anomalies: The Most Unusual Objects Found in Deep Space - IGN
Space is a boundless expanse of unexplained phenomena and unusual objects, so we've put together a rundown of the greatest space oddities for the starry-eyed enthusiasts among us.
Scientists and astronomers are constantly exploring outer space to discover what lies within the great abyss and oftentimes detail their findings in studies and journals.
Europe is seriously considering a major investment in space-based solar power | Ars Technica
Europe is seriously considering developing space-based solar power to increase its energy independence and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the leader of the European Space Agency said this week.
"It will be up to Europe, ESA and its Member States to push the envelope of technology to solve one of the most pressing problems for people on Earth of this generation," said Josef Aschbacher, director general of the space agency, an intergovernmental organization of 22 member states.
Vaya Space and Orbits Edge Enter Into Long-Term Launch Agreement
Privately held Vaya Space, with operations in both the U.S. and Brazil, recently announced multiple patent awards, new launch contracts, and NASA agreements to emerge as a leader in the small satellite launch services sector.
Vaya is a purpose-driven, sustainability focused, and environmentally conscious enterprise dedicated to making a difference for humankind. Vaya Space competes within the small satellite launch sector of the space industry, a market estimated to grow to $1 trillion over the next decade.
Hollow-core fibers for precise positioning in space
Measurement technology also uses the capabilities of optical fibers. They are an elementary part of gyroscopes, that is, highly precise rotation sensors.
When the object turns, the path passed by the light wave changes imperceptibly, either shrinking or expanding by a tiny margin. It is this minute change that a detector can pick up and use to calculate the rotation.
Space news: Skyrora's second stage rocket static fire test brings UK launch closer | Science | ...
The integrated stage test — the largest to be held in the UK since the 1970s — was undertaken at Discover Space UK at RAF Machrihanish, in Scotland.
With the test completed, Skyrora now has its eyes set on an inaugural orbital launch next year, to lift off from the Saxa Vord Space Centre in northern Scotland.
Orion Space wins U.S. Space Force contract for on-orbit services experiment - SpaceNews
WASHINGTON — Orion Space Solutions announced Aug. 16 it was selected by the U.S. Space Force to develop three small satellites for a demonstration of on-orbit services in geostationary Earth orbit.
The $44.5 million contract is for the Tetra-5 mission , a project intended to help the Space Force figure out how to take advantage of commercial technologies to inspect objects in space, and to service geostationary satellites 22,000 miles above Earth that perform critical missions and ...
