Space exploration and establishing human presence on other planets demand advanced technology and effective collaboration between robots and astronauts. Efficient space resource utilization is also vital for extraterrestrial settlements. The Collabor...
Rewatching and currently on S4E9, “The Beautiful Girls”, where Mrs. Blankenship dies at her desk. I always love Bert’s line after struggling to write a proper obituary. I feel like it’s very p...
Human long duration exploration missions (LDEMs) raise a number of technological challenges. This paper addresses the question of the crew autonomy: as the distances increase, the communication delays and constraints tend to prevent the astronauts fr...
The use of eXtended Reality (XR) technologies in the space domain has increased significantly over the past few years as it can offer many advantages when simulating complex and challenging environments. Space agencies are currently using these disru...
I’ve been watching the broadcast of the NASA/SpaceX crew going to the ISS, as well as the crew that left the ISS to return to Earth. Watching them in the spacecraft with their astronaut suits on, yo...
The surface of Mars is bombarded by energetic charged particles of solar and cosmic origin with little shielding compared to Earth. As space agencies are planning for crewed missions to the red planet, a major concern is the impact of ionizing radiat...
Has anyone else watched this one yet? It's kind of impressive how it switches from a fairly effective "something followed me home from space" thriller into something much, much dumber. I can see why ...
The impact of exposure to astrophysical ionizing radiation on astronaut health is one of the main concerns in planning crewed missions to Mars. Astronauts will be exposed to energetic charged particles from Galactic and Solar origin for a prolonged p...
Feb 14, 2026 · The term “astronaut” derives from the Greek words meaning “star sailor,” and refers to all who have been launched as crew members aboard NASA spacecraft bound for orbit and beyond.
This include selfies taken by astronauts (also known as astronaut selfies), machines (also known as space robot selfies and rover selfies) and by indirect
their common names, countries of origin (modern and former), centuries of activity and main areas of exploration. Age of Discovery Astronaut/Cosmonaut/Taikonaut
Feb 21, 2026 · Weightlessness, or zero gravity, is the sensation of having no weight due to the absence of gravitational forces. This phenomenon is commonly associated with astronauts floating in space, …
Weightlessness is the sensation of having zero apparent weight, but an object's mass remains unchanged. An astronaut in orbit is weightless but still has the same mass.
