The spaceflight environment presents unique physicochemical conditions, including microgravity, ionizing radiation, altered fluid transport, and confined engineered habitats, which influence biological systems and biomolecular assembly processes.
In the future interstellar exploration at near-relativistic speeds will be possible using beamed energy laser propulsion.
The TOLIMAN project is engaged with the construction, launch and operation of a low-cost space telescope of unorthodox optical design. Its primary science goal targets an exhaustive search for temperate-orbit […]
Pandora is a SmallSat mission dedicated to understanding exoplanets and their host stars by disentangling the impact of stellar heterogeneity on exoplanet transmission spectra.
Update: Pandora was launched on 11 January 2026 at 8:44 am ET. A new NASA spacecraft called Pandora is awaiting launch ahead of its journey to study the atmospheres of […]
There is an increase in demand for bio-nanosatellites and biomedical methodologies as a result of experiments conducted in microgravity and radiation conditions.
Editor’s note: for more than half a century we have been learning how to use the viewpoint from space to study our home world. The instruments we have developed often […]
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) is a NASA-funded 6U-CubeSat mission designed to monitor ultraviolet (UV) radiation from low-mass stars.
The Pandora SmallSat is a NASA flight project aimed at studying the atmospheres of exoplanets — planets orbiting stars outside our Solar System. Pandora will provide the first dataset of […]
Pandora, NASA’s newest exoplanet mission, is one step closer to launch with the completion of the spacecraft bus, which provides the structure, power, and other systems that will enable the […]
