The start of humanity’s journey back to the moon is now just a matter of hours away — with NASA’s Artemis I mission set for blast off early tomorrow morning.
It will see the world’s most powerful rocket shoot for the stars in an historic launch that will signal the first stage of the US space agency’s goal to return people to the lunar surface for the first time in half a century.
If successful, the uncrewed Artemis I mission
One of the most groundbreaking innovations in this year’s iPhone 14 lineup is something you’ll hopefully never have to use: the ability to summon help in remote areas by connecting to satellites instead of relying on traditional cellular networks.
Although the new Eemergency SOS via satellite feature won’t be switched on until later this year, this is likely to be only the first step in Apple’s plans for an even more connected world.
Wireless technology companies like Qualcomm and
Proprietäre Weltraumkameras sind teuer, begrenzt und mühsam zu entwickeln. Der Smallsat-Hersteller NanoAvionics hat kürzlich alle Entwicklungsprobleme umgangen und sich stattdessen für etwas von der Stange entschieden. Das Unternehmen verwendete eine GoPro Hero 7, die an einem speziell angefertigten Selfie-Stick montiert war, um ein Selfie aufzunehmen, das wirklich nicht von dieser Welt ist.

Satellite images have revealed that the consequences of global warming can be seen from space — as the Alps are turning greener.
The European mountain range is famously covered in a blanket of snow for the majority of the year, attracting skiers and snowboarders across the world.
But new data has found that vegetation above the tree line has increased in nearly 80 per cent of the Alps over the last 38 years.
Although the new plants may assist in
Fresh satellite footage has revealed the extent of the carnage wrought by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces in the besieged city of Mariupol in southern Ukraine as hundreds of civilians are left to starve underground.
The imagery, obtained by Maxar Technologies, appears to show a dramatic expansion of mass graves which were dug on the edge of the port city in March to accommodate the victims of Russia’s indiscriminate bombing campaigns.

A 40-mile long ‘death convoy’ of Russian vehicles stalled near the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv has now ‘dispersed’, new satellite images reveal, with rocket artillery moved into firing positions for an attack on the capital.
The huge column of vehicles was last spotted on February 28 having ground to a halt on a highway leading into Kyiv from the north after suffering breakdowns, fuel shortages and supply problems.
Space debris from a Russian anti-satellite missile test came within 47 feet (14.5 metres) of knocking out China’s Tsinghua science satellite this week, Beijing claims.
The near-miss between Tsinghua and the piece of debris, called 49863, occurred at 02:49 GMT on Tuesday (January 18), the China National Space Administration (CNSA) has said, based on tracking data.
The two objects passed each other at a relative speed of more than 11,700 miles per hour, according to CNSA.
