Arianespace and Avio Call for Enforced European Launcher PreferenceIn a joint statement published on 16 June, Arianespace and Avio have called for European missions to be launched aboard European rockets. The statement was presented on the first day of the Paris Air Show, being held in Le Bourget from 16 to 22 June. The statement warned that without “sustained support,” European rocket builders […] The post Arianespace and Avio Call for Enforced European Launcher Preference appeared first on European Spaceflight.
A Researcher’s Guide to: Microgravity Materials ResearchIMAGE

A Researcher’s Guide to: Microgravity Materials ResearchJune 2025 Edition Most materials are formed from a partially or totally fluid sample, and the transport of heat and mass from the fluid into the solid during solidification inherently influences the formation of the material and its resultant properties. The ISS provides a long-duration microgravity environment for conducting experiments that enables researchers to examine […]

NASA Langley Uses Height, Gravity to Test Long, Flexible BoomsResearchers at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, have developed a technique to test long, flexible, composite booms for use in space in such a way that gravity helps, rather than hinders, the process. During a recent test campaign inside a 100-foot tower at a NASA Langley lab, researchers suspended a 94-foot triangular, rollable, […]
How Do We Do Research in Zero Gravity? We Asked a NASA Expert: Episode 62IMAGE

How Do We Do Research in Zero Gravity? We Asked a NASA Expert: Episode 62How do we do research in zero gravity? Actually when astronauts do experiments on the International Space Station, for instance, to environment on organisms, that environment is actually technically called microgravity. That is, things feel weightless, but we’re still under the influence of Earth’s gravity. Now, the very microgravity that we’re trying to study up […]
