ESA Taps Spaceo-Led Consortium to Test Inflatable Satellite Deorbit SystemA consortium led by Portuguese start-up Spaceo has won a European Space Agency contract to test an inflatable drag sail designed to deorbit small satellites. Founded in 2023, Spaceo develops compact inflatable systems to deorbit satellites, improving end-of-life mission management. The company secured €100,000 in pre-seed funding from Portugal Ventures and early support from the […] The post ESA Taps Spaceo-Led Consortium to Test Inflatable Satellite Deorbit System appeared first on European Spaceflight.
Webb unmasks true nature of the Cosmic TornadoIMAGE

Webb unmasks true nature of the Cosmic TornadoThe NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured a beautiful juxtaposition of the nearby protostellar outflow known as Herbig-Haro 49/50 with a perfectly positioned, more distant spiral galaxy. Due to the close proximity of this Herbig-Haro object to the Earth, this new composite infrared image of the outflow from a young star allows researchers to examine details on small spatial scales like never before. With Webb, we can better understand how the jet activity associated with the formation of young stars can affect their surrounding environment.

NASA to Launch Three Rockets from Alaska in Single Aurora ExperimentThree NASA-funded rockets are set to launch from Poker Flat Research Range in Fairbanks, Alaska, in an experiment that seeks to reveal how auroral substorms affect the behavior and composition of Earth’s far upper atmosphere. The experiment’s outcome could upend a long-held theory about the aurora’s interaction with the thermosphere. It may also improve space […]

Hubble Sees a Spiral and a StarThis NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a sparkling spiral galaxy paired with a prominent star, both in the constellation Virgo. While the galaxy and the star appear to be close to one another, even overlapping, they’re actually a great distance apart. The star, marked with four long diffraction spikes, is in our own galaxy. It’s just […]

The FireSense ProjectExpanded coverage of topics from “The Editor’s Corner” in The Earth Observer Wind is a major factor in fire. It controls how fires evolve and pose threats to the safety of communities. While weather balloons have traditionally produced vertical soundings to define changes in atmospheric dynamics, their use is restricted during aircraft operations to combat active […]

Atomic Layer Processing Coating Techniques Enable Missions to See Further into the UltravioletIMAGE
science.nasa.gov• Mar 18, 2025• 1 min read
Atomic Layer Processing Coating Techniques Enable Missions to See Further into the UltravioletAstrophysics observations at ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths often probe the most dynamic aspects of the universe. However, the high energy of ultraviolet photons means that their interaction with the materials that make up an observing instrument are less efficient, resulting in low overall throughput. New approaches in the development of thin film coatings are addressing this […]
