due to the low lunar gravity, the suspended dust generated when lunar rovers move across the lunar soil is a significant risk for lunar missions as it can affect the systems of the exploration vehicles. One solution to mitigate this problem is the construction of ...

As the largest basin on Mars, Utopia Planitia has both experienced and recorded variations of the Martian palaeoclimate. Layered subsurface structures have been identified by ground-penetrating radar in southern Utopia Planitia but lateral variations of
“Optimizing the performance and attention, specifically in astronauts on long-duration space flights, is the problem we’re trying to solve,” she says. In addition to helping astronauts, Kosmyna’s work has uses here on Earth. She has prototyped and tested applications that could help drivers...
While a lunar biorepository may be a promising idea for preserving Earth's biodiversity, there are challenges for this program. Researchers said one of the most difficult problems posed by a lunar biorepository would be the radiation exposure to samples. Countermeasures to radiation could include anti...
There were separate divisions for the space shuttle and GPS, but if GPS needed engineers to work on an aerodynamic, thermodynamic, or heat-transfer problem, it could draw on Rockwell’s vast army of engineers, not for their knowledge of the shuttle specifically, but rather for their raw ...
The main reason for the weight reduction is the removal of a robotic arm and its replacement with an instrument developed by Swedish scientists to analyze the radiation environment on the lunar surface, said Jia. Like Yutu, which landed on the moon at the end of 2013, the new rover carries...
However, in this brief introduction I will summarise two other categories of lunar astrobiology that motivate a desire to use this planetary body as a location for life sciences. First, the Moon has been an essential part of the Earth-Moon system since life’s emergence on the Earth and so...
“(Intutive Machines’) uncrewed lunar lander landed at 6:23pm ET (2323 UTC), bringing NASA science to the Moon’s surface. These instruments will prepare us for future human exploration of the Moon under#Artemis,” the space agency posted on X, the website formerly known as Twitter. ...
