Powerful Solar Flare Recorded on Sun

Powerful Solar Flare Recorded on Sun A significant solar flare of class M 2.0 occurred on October 9, marking the most powerful event since the end of September. The plasma ejection associated with the flare happened on the far side of the Sun and was perfectly visible through observation. Despite the intensity of the solar event, Russian scientists have reassured that this flare poses no immediate threat to Earth's safety.


Mesmerizing Visualization of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Data

Mesmerizing Visualization of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Data Data collected by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) offers a fascinating glimpse into the surface and features of our moon. The visualization provides valuable insights into our natural satellite's characteristics and terrain. Understanding the data from the LRO is crucial for enhancing our knowledge of the moon's landscape and composition. This visualization showcases the importance of space exploration in unraveling the mysteries of celestial bodies within our solar system.


Chinese Engineers Develop Solution to Orbital Overpopulation Issue

Chinese Engineers Develop Solution to Orbital Overpopulation Issue Chinese engineers have devised a solution to the growing problem of "overpopulation" in orbit, where an increasing number of spacecraft raises the risk of collisions that could lead to a chain reaction. China's proposed solution is a unified modular system based on cloud computing principles. This system aims to standardize satellites, ultimately decreasing their quantity in orbit and mitigating collision risks. Despite the promising solution, one significant obstacle remains - the influence of geopolitics.


Rocket New Glenn Set to Send Two Satellites to Mars

Rocket New Glenn Set to Send Two Satellites to Mars Blue Origin is gearing up for the second launch of its new heavy carrier. The first stage has been moved to the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. Two NASA probes, ESCAPADE - Blue and Gold, are set to examine Mars' atmosphere and the effects of solar wind. The spacecraft are currently undergoing final inspections in Florida.


Results Announced of the SIRIUS Isolation Experiments

Results Announced of the SIRIUS Isolation Experiments The SIRIUS project, initiated in 2017, involved scientists from the IBMP RAS conducting four isolation experiments over varying durations with volunteer subjects: 17, 120, 240, and 366 days. The scientific program focused on studying human adaptation to space conditions, simulating missions to distant planets, testing space equipment, virtual reality systems, and robotic technologies to enhance astronaut safety during deep space exploration.
