If you’re following the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon trajectory, it’s an enigma wrapped in a riddle, seemingly packaged like a cosmic scene investigation (CSI) wanting of true detective work. A new paper provides a detailed roadmap to tackle the swerving UAP issue that has resisted explanation and received little formal scientific attention for countless years – […]
The emergence of private space stations is sparking renewed interest in harnessing centrifugal force to make life in Earth orbit – or in transit to other destinations – far less deleterious to the human body. Recently joining in on “G-whiz” space stations is Airbus, the European multinational aerospace corporation. Last month, it unveiled LOOP, […]
The European Space Agency’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter is relaying a mysterious signal…on purpose. Today the ESA Mars-circling spacecraft will transmit an “alien” message, specially concocted by the global “A Sign in Space” art project. The cosmic communiqué will be picked up by antennas dotted around the globe: the Green Bank Telescope (West Virginia), the […]
The Perseverance Mars rover is busy wheeling and dealing with Jezero Crater, prowling about that Red Planet scenery, stuffed with science gear. It landed on Mars in February 2021. Tucked into the belly of this on-the-move Mars machinery is a novel device for producing oxygen from the carbon dioxide-rich Martian atmosphere. In shorthand space lingo […]
That lost-to-the Moon robotic spacecraft, Japan’s Hakuto-R Mission1, has been spotted by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The impact site of the run-amok lunar lander was produced on April 26 (Japan Standard Time) within the Mare Frigoris region on the Moon’s near side. After the planned landing time, ground controllers received no communication from […]
A new national survey has been done, a unique look at examining academia evaluations, explanations, and experiences regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) across 14 disciplines at 144 major research universities. Survey results found that the academic evaluation of UAP information and more academic research on this topic is important. Curiosity outweighed skepticism or indifference, the […]
Break out your secret decoder ring! There is an open call for the public, specialists and experts from all fields to take on the decoding of an extraterrestrial message, a communiqué crafted for A Sign in Space, an interdisciplinary project. Shout out As part of the venture, on May 24, 2023, the European Space […]
China rolled out to a launch pad Monday the combination Shenzhou-16 crewed spacecraft and the Long March 2F Yao-16 carrier rocket. The three-person crew, still unnamed, will depart the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, reportedly on May 29-30. According to China Daily, the Shenzhou-16 crew may comprise members of the third generation of […]
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover at Gale crater is now performing Sol 3835 duties. There has been confirmation of the success of the sample drop-off to the robot’s Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) Instrument Suite and the start of the Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA). “So for now, we’re still in a planning holding pattern until SAM […]
