Pushing deeper into space demands technology that can survive where humans can’t. Electronics and cameras must endure intense radiation, vacuum, and extreme temperature swings – and still perform flawlessly. Discover them in our detailed review.
Until recently, humanity explored the world’s seas and oceans only from ships and aircraft — methods that lacked global reach and a true planetary perspective. That changed with the arrival of satellites. Here’s the story of how we began studying Earth’s water surfaces from space.
From understanding the universe to modeling the Artemis mission, these are all tasks for supercomputers purpose-built for space research, simulations, and design. These powerful machines also help NASA to study Earth, its climate, ocean currents, and weather forecasts.
In the second part of our exploration of space energy, we’ll dive into the story of solar power – how solar panels were invented, how they were adapted for use in space, and how future space-based solar stations could meet the needs on Earth.
As humanity’s demand for computing power grows, new challenges – including AI – emerge that call for fresh solutions. One bold idea looks beyond Earth itself: building space-based data centers powered by clean solar energy.
Spacecraft systems – including communications, navigation, scientific instruments, backup systems, and crew life support – depend on a reliable power supply. To meet this need, missions have relied on chemical batteries, fuel-based generators, and even small nuclear reactors as energy sources.
The Sun’s chromosphere remains one of the most mysterious objects in astrophysics. The SNIFS mission’s specialized spectrograph overcame major technical challenges to study it, providing data that could help explain solar flares, space weather, and the long-standing mystery of coronal heating.
The interaction between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Parliament is a key factor in shaping a unified European space policy. Let us take a closer look at the main reasons for this closer relationship and the benefits it brings.
The first half of 2025 has been record-breaking in two key areas: the rapid acceleration of satellite deployment and testing. The main areas of interest have remained the Moon, satellites and space weaponry, which is increasingly leveraging the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
