  1. The Curiosity rover had managed to collect 32 Martian rock samples by using a drill attached to robotic arm. Perseverance rovere mission still keeps searching for signs of past life on the red planet by analyzing the chemical, mineral, physical and organic characteristics of the rocks.

    Sounds interesting, any links?

    The 3d printing technology that is used in space exploration area is called Additive manufacturing services. This machine allows to print multi-composite parts simultaneously. Moreover, the third stage for Xl rocket is made with the help of Additive manufacturing services. This piece of information made me really staggered  https://www.skyrora.com/additive

    Space Science has opened new objective, vision and mission for the humanity,  but it is still dependent on the financial contributions from Government and wealthy. Good work has been done in harvesting renewable energy and power savings through better battery technology. But still lots of work has to be done. Space Mining is good, but that should not disturb the gravitational balance. Moon has an important role on the current position of planet Earth. So what will be the limit/checks for Moon mining in future. Increasing Space debris is also a problem. 

    I don't think that moon mining might influence the gravitation. However, I should mention another issue you`ve mentioned related to space. It is space junk. The big number of space junk can damage expensive spacecrafts The growing number of space items can lead to the state where he object density is so high that one collision is enough to generate a cascade effect, leading to further collisions.
     

     
     
  4. In a few words this is rather good and interesting project. I is already used by some private space agencies. Land observation satellite it`s rather useful technology that can help scientists to observe some areas in order to take part in the environmental preservation campaign. It`s much better than colonizing Venus with some floating platforms.

  5. A few words about the exploration of Venus. NASA wants to start colonizing campaign of Venus with the help of floating platforms. Personally, I consider the colonization of  Venus a useless idea. Who wants to live in a flotilla above a totally inhospitable environment? I mean if it were the only option for survival then yes, otherwise not worth it. Also completely unworkable from a colonization perspective. To be a colony it needs to have a significant if not total ability to be independent. There is no way that some flotilla in the atmosphere of Venus can supply its own raw material needs for manufacturing as mining the surface of Venus would be well beyond what a flotilla environment could manage. Perhaps might be feasible and reasonable for NASA or the like to put a floating research station there with rotating crews and regular supply runs, but that would be about it. IMO NASA puts out silly things like this just to keep the public's interest in space so they can continue to get funding. All pipe dream nonsense, but it captures the public's imagination.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7A0O_4J5LE

  6. There is one theory about Proxima B. Some interesting ideas about Proxima B must be mentioned. Some scientists claim that this exoplanet might be the second Earth. What do you think about that? Although, another group of scientists consider Proxima B as only the closest planet to Earth outside of our system and there is no reason to consider that this makes it life-supporting. I`d like to hear what do you think about this point. I hope that such technology like James Webb space telescope or Ariel space telescope will help us in finding some new exoplanets and give more hints where life can exists. https://www.skyrora.com/blog/uk-space-news

  7. The universe is very large and it has many galaxies and some of them can contain planets where some forms of life can exist. Moreover, some scientists claim that the second Earth might be found. I want to mention is that Earth's atmosphere not only gives us O2 but also saves us from the harmful rays of the sun. This is also very rare, none of the planets in the solar system has that kind of atmosphere. There are many other things that may extinct all life on Earth but are not happening because the Earth is, the way it is(example: Earth's magnetic property)
    Soo, the chance might be not high.

  8. I wnna add some news related to Perseverance Mars mission. The 11th flight of NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, which will happen no earlier than Wednesday night, Aug. 4. The mission profile is designed to stay ahead of the rover – supporting its future science goals in the “South Séítah” region, where it will be able to gather aerial imagery in support of future Perseverance Mars rover surface operations in the area.

  9. The Tianwen missions aim to explore Mars’s internal structure, geology, and of course search for the signs of life. Zhurong rover is a part of this mission that aims to study the topology, analyze soil, atmosphere, and survey minerals, rocks, and other elements it’ll find. Zhurong has several instruments, such as a climate station, ground-penetrating radar, magnetic field detector, and several cameras. However, I haven't heard any news from this chinese mission

  10. Before sending the Starship to Mars, Space X is going to make the moon mission with the Starship. SpaceX Starship will officially be the single solution for the first lunar landing mission under NASA’s Artemis program to return to the Moon.This comes after the US GAO backed the decision to use Starship as the lander, stating it didn’t break any laws with the selection. The space agency first announced its decision to land astronauts on the Moon with SpaceX in April, but legal protests from the Blue Origin-led National Team and Dynetics halted progress for the contract.

  11. I`d like to mention another Mars rover mission that will be launched in 2022. The main purposes of that mission are to explore the surface of the red planet and to look for some forms of  life and traces of them. This mission is called Rosalind Franklin Mars rover mission and it will be sent by the European Space Agency   https://www.skyrora.com/blog/uk-space-news

  12.  

    One private space company invented and manufactures a special type of rocket which is called a hybrid rocket. This kind of rocket is used in small launches like delivering microsatellites in the orbit. this type of rocket is uncrewed and guided and is used for the test in microgravity conditions.

  13. ESA and NASA are going to make a partnership in the environmental project. The first-ever partnership of its kind is based on observing Earth and environmental issues. This campaign will be based on observing the Earth from space with the help of satellite technology in order to save the environment on Earth. Such kind of stuff will be observed like coral reefs, glaciers, and other things that are in danger now.

  14. NASA is about to use Ingenuity, which has spent $ 80 million in development, to explore areas that a six-wheeled rover cannot reach, as well as to create 3D maps of the planet’s surface and solve other scientific problems. The purpose of the rover’s mission is to try to find traces of possible existence in the distant past of life on Mars.
