The first science experiments that will be hosted on the Gateway, the international research outpost orbiting the Moon, have been selected by ESA and NASA. Europe’s contribution will monitor radiation to gain a complete understanding of cosmic and solar rays in unexplored areas as the orbital outpost is assembled around the Moon.
The crater is located in the Terra Sabaea region of Mars.
A new probe built by NASA and the European Space Agency set off on a blazing hot journey to the sun on Sunday to take the first close-up look at the star’s polar regions, a mission expected to yield insight into how solar radiant energy affects Earth.
Last night, ESA’s Planetary Defence team observed the rare moment in which an object escaped our planet’s gravity, in contrast to their normal objects of study—potentially hazardous rocks that could strike it.
Solar Orbiter, a new collaborative mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA to study our Sun, launched at 05:03 CET on February 10, 2020 (11:03 p.m. EST on February 9) on an Atlas V 411 rocket from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. At 06:03 CET (12:24 a.m. EST), mission controllers at the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, received a signal from the spacecraft indicating that its solar panels had successfully deployed. In the first two days after launch, Solar Orbiter will deploy its instrument boom and several antennas that will communicate with Earth and gather scientific data.
Scientists hope the telescope will capture the imagination like ‘science fiction’
NASA’s plan is to return astronauts to the Moon by 2024, but the European Space Agency is working on a plan to help humans breathe on the celestial satellite — by turning moondust into oxygen.
The team of astronomers traced the journey of phosphorus, a key element in DNA, from star-forming regions to comets.
European Space Agency asks for help from Nasa with ExoMars project as trials fail and cost rises to €1bn
Missions to Mars and beyond will take months or longer, so some creative strategies will be necessary to make sure that astronauts stay hale and hearty!
