This white paper explains how precision timing solutions support reliable PNT architectures across aerospace, defense, and industrial systems.
In this episode, we talk about how robotic dogs might be the next best astronauts as they are well-equipped to explore the Moon’s unforgiving terrain, and about a framework for launching swarms of robots into warehouses to get work done better, safer, and more efficiently.
The agency’s mission to explore Jupiter’s icy moon takes a big step forward as engineers deliver a major component of the spacecraft.
Using an artificial neural network, researchers at ETH Zurich have created the first high-resolution global vegetation height map for 2020 from satellite images.
James Webb Space Telescope aims to take us to the unexplored realm of our cosmic origins. From observing the formation of the first stars and galaxies to looking for the possibility of life on other planets, the telescope will play a major role in the future of space exploration.

James Webb Space Telescope aims to take us to the unexplored realm of our cosmic origins. From observing the formation of the first stars and galaxies to looking for the possibility of life on other planets, the telescope will play a major role in the future of space exploration.
Humanity's drive to explore has taken us across the solar system, with astronaut boots, various landers and rovers' wheels exploring the surfaces of several different planetary bodies.
A spacecraft that sails on light could provide new vantage point on solar eruptions that can disrupt modern electrical and navigation systems.
In space, maintenance isn't possible, so satellites must operate reliably for their entire mission. This makes fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) a critical requirement in satellite design.
Small devices can loft into mesosphere for climate sensing

Designed to monitor the whole sky for signs of meteors, which can be traced back to their cometary origins, the CAMS project has recently received a big upgrade to its detection and visualization pipeline — with the SpaceML project bringing citizen scientists into the mix.
Aerojet Rocketdyne engineers optimized a key component of their Reaction Control System (RCS) quad thruster using additive manufacturing. Not only is the new space engine part 67% lighter, but it also contributes to the reduction of the overall production cost of the thruster by 66%

Is there life on Jupiter's moon Europa? An ocean suspected to be under miles of ice gives science hope. But how could it be reached and explored? Researchers at the DFKI Robotics Innovation Center have been investigating this question since 2012 in the Europa Explorer project series.
EPFL engineering student Lucas Froissart designed an exoskeleton capable of propelling robot explorers into subsurface tunnels on the moon.
A team of researchers from three leading Australian universities proposes an integrated system for producing essential materials on Mars using local resources, paving the way for self-sufficient settlements.
Self-reconfiguring ElectroVoxels use embedded electromagnets to test applications for space exploration.
The Astrobee free-flying robots, developed in and managed by the NASA Ames Intelligent Systems Division, were setup for the second session to test an autonomous rendezvous algorithm and assist the ground team in monitoring Astrobee performance of autonomous robotic rendezvous with a tumbling target.
A praying mantis for the moon, Mars and meteorites: the mantis-like robot "Mantis" is said to be able to independently explore planets and build an infrastructure with its claws.
In this episode, we talk about how a new handheld 3D printer can revolutionize wound treatment in space and the duct tape inspired gel aiming to eliminate complications caused by gastrointestinal surgery.
Since ordering supplies from Earth won’t be practical, the astronauts will have to fabricate their own components for equipment and other products through additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing.
