Australia and the United States have signed off on a long-awaited space technology sharing agreement, giving American space companies the green light to conduct launches from Australian spaceports.
The Technology Safeguards Agreement (TSA) was signed in Washington on Thursday morning (AEDT), six months after an in-principal agreement was struck by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and US President Joe Biden.
A group of pro-Ukraine hackers recently compromised the Spotify accounts of several well-known Russian musicians, swapping out their profile pictures for images of Ukraine's flag and a Ukrainian rapper, along with messages to stop Russia's war in Ukraine.
The attacks, which began last week, targeted some of the most recognizable Russian artists who had previously expressed their support for the Kremlin and the war in Ukraine, including Nikolay Baskov, Grigory Leps, Oleg Gazmanov, and the rock band Leningrad.

Amazon has been ramping up its use of technology in operations for some time and now has over 750,000 robots.
Separately, the company said it also launched a new robotic system at one of the company's fulfillment centers in Houston, Texas, which will help the company meet holiday demand.
Did you see October 14th's solar eclipse? Most of the time we can easily forget that we are on a planet spinning and orbiting in space with other celestial bodies. Watching the Moon move across the face of the Sun reminds us of our place in the solar system.
Several NASA science teams and many NASA volunteers used the October 14 eclipse to collect data and test observation protocols, software, hardware, and logistics. They met enthusiastic crowds of people taking in the spectacle and making unique observations.
Some parts of the U.S. are more likely to be visited by aliens than others if movies are any indication of what we can expect from extra-terrestrials.
It's probably not a surprise California and New York are the top two states featured as arrival points for aliens on the big screen.
It swiftly became clear that Ashkenazi Jews were targeted in the cyberattack, although the reasons were as yet unclear. The data included a display name, sex, birth year and details about genetic ancestry, but apparently not raw genetic data.
The hackers posted a data sample on the BreachForums platform on October 4, claiming to have stolen one million data points belonging solely to Ashkenazi Jews. But hundreds of thousands of people with Chinese ancestry were also caught in the net, according to Wired .
Based on a preliminary analysis of samples found outside the main container storing the samples, the space agency announced that the asteroid material appeared to be rich in both water and carbon , supporting the theory that space rocks like Bennu may have played an important role in the ...

Announced amid a deluge of news at this week's Delivering the Future event in Seattle was word that Amazon will begin testing Agility's Digit in a move that could bring the bipedal robot to its nationwide fulfillment centers.
Take, for instance Agility's Ford pilot , when the startup was exploring last-mile delivery as a potential way forward. Not too long after, the firm began focusing Digit's output exclusively on warehouse and factory work.
I'm going to give you the bad news first. The distances between stars are so large that they might be impossible to routinely cross. Sure, maybe you send robot probes that reach their target in two hundred years (and then you need another century or so for a message to get back).
This is the kind of landscape we have to deal with when we try to navigate the question of aliens and interstellar travel. We absolutely, positively know the distances between the stars. We also know for certain that the universe imposes a speed limit when it comes to crossing those distances.
Sept. 24 was a big day for NASA, when an orange-and-white capsule containing pieces of an asteroid landed on Earth, charred from its ultrahigh-speed fall through our atmosphere.
Shot into space as part of the agency's OSIRIS-REx mission in 2016 , the capsule was enclosed for years within a spacecraft that made a 4-billion-mile-long journey to reach Bennu.
It has been a successful and proud year for India considering its multiple space missions, one after another, starting with Chandryaan-3 landing on August 23 to the recent one, the successful test flight for Gaganyaan Mission
The Gaganyaan mission is the first Indian mission where humans will be sent to space. It includes sending a crew of three members into an orbit of 400 km for a 3-day mission and bringing them safely back to earth by landing in Indian waters.

Nvidia Research announced today that it has developed a new AI agent, called Eureka, that is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4 and can autonomously teach robots complex skills.
A long-ago reshuffling of the giant planets in our solar system may have been instrumental in giving Earth its moon.
For decades, planetary scientists have hypothesized that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were born much closer to the sun and that gravitational interactions among those planets jolted them into their contemporary trajectories ( SN: 5/10/22 ).
WASHINGTON — The procurement arm of the U.S. Space Force is making a major push to work more closely with allies abroad and is pressing the Pentagon to adjust classification policies to allow for more open sharing of information with trusted international partners.
"We now have partnerships with 28 different countries, the majority of which just happened within the last 18 months," Lt. Gen. Michael Guetlein, commander of the Space Systems Command, said Oct. 18 at the AFCEA Space Industry Days conference in Los Angeles.
NASA's Lucy probe will fly by the space rock Dinkinesh on Nov. 1, and an agency video gives us a preview of the encounter.
The Lucy mission , which launched in October 2021, was not originally set to visit the 0.5-mile-wide (0.8 kilometers) Dinkinesh, previously known by the designation 1999 VD57; the decision to add it to the spacecraft's itinerary was made in January 2023.
NASA will host a media teleconference at 11 a.m. EDT Thursday, Oct. 26, to discuss a laser communications system and new research to understand the interactions between weather on Earth and in space.
Launch is targeted for no earlier than 10:01 p.m. EST Sunday, Nov. 5. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, carried on the company's Falcon 9 rocket, will lift off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Ah, the familiar chill in the air as autumn arrives, a reminder of turning leaves, the coming winter and—of course!—the return of the constellation Orion to the night sky, along with the constellation’s myriad astronomical wonders.
The best known of the latter is the iconic Orion nebula, a gas cloud so huge and bright that it’s visible to the naked eye despite being about 1,300 light-years from Earth.
The former head of Britain's UFO investigation squad has accused the government and military top brass of not taking the 'threat' posed by unidentified flying objects seriously.
Alien hunter Nick Pope , who ran the Ministry of Defence's UFO project in the 1990s before it was disbanded, said it was 'outrageous' ministers are not taking 'meaningful action' to probe unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) - better known as UFOs.
NASA recently built and tested an additively-manufactured – or 3D printed – rocket engine nozzle made of aluminum, making it lighter than conventional nozzles and setting the course for deep space flights that can carry more payloads.
Under the agency's Announcement of Collaborative Opportunity , engineers from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, partnered with Elementum 3D, in Erie, Colorado, to create a weldable type of aluminum that is heat resistant enough for use on rocket engines.
NASA's Lucy spacecraft is preparing for its first close-up look at an asteroid. On Nov. 1, it will fly by asteroid Dinkinesh and test its instruments in preparation for visits in the next decade to multiple Trojan asteroids that circle the Sun in the same orbit as Jupiter.
Dinkinesh, less than half a mile, or 1 kilometer, wide, circles the Sun in the main belt of asteroids located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Lucy has been visually tracking Dinkinesh since Sept. 3 ; it will be the first of 10 asteroids Lucy will visit on its 12-year voyage.
