Britain Launches Secure Satellite Timing System to Guard Critical Services

Spacedaily.com 

London, UK (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
Britain has contracted GMV to build a Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer system designed to deliver assured Position, Navigation and Time services for national infrastructure, defense operations, and the wider economy. The system will reduce dependence on Global Navigation Satellite Systems, which remain vulnerable to interference and disruption. GMV won the competitive tender t

Gilat books multimillion order for Sidewinder inflight ESA terminals

London, UK (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
Gilat Satellite Networks has secured a multimillion order from a major global avionics company for its Sidewinder electronically steered antenna inflight connectivity terminals designed by Gilat Stellar Blu, with deliveries scheduled over the next six months. The new contract underscores growing momentum for the Sidewinder ESA platform as airlines and service providers look to deploy advan

Alfven waves drive stable electric fields that power auroras

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
The shimmering curtains of the aurora form when energetic electrons plunge into Earths upper atmosphere and collide with atoms and molecules, releasing light across the polar skies. For decades, scientists have known that these electrons are accelerated by intense electric fields above the auroral regions, but they lacked a clear explanation for how those fields are generated and sustained in ne

Thunderstorm, not eclipse, drove tree signal spike in Dolomites

Paris, France (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
Around 14 hours before a partial solar eclipse crossed the Dolomites in northern Italy, a cluster of spruce trees showed a sharp, synchronized rise in electrical activity. A new opinion paper argues that this spike did not reflect any anticipatory response to the eclipse but was instead triggered by a local thunderstorm and nearby lightning. In a widely publicized study, Chiolerio and coll

Runaway black hole jet outshines legendary death star

Spacedaily.com 

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
A supermassive black hole that shredded a nearby star is blasting out a jet of energy that has kept brightening for four years, in one of the most powerful events ever recorded in the universe. The outburst comes from a tidal disruption event designated AT2018hyz, in which a star strayed too close to a black hole and was torn apart by intense gravitational forces in a process astronomers d

'The beacons were lit!' A system to detect and map merging black holes

Spacedaily.com 

New Haven CT (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black holes - known as supermassive black hole binaries - around the universe. Such a map would provide a vital new way to explore and understand astronomy and physics, just as X-rays and radio wave

Curiosity Blog, Sols 4788-4797: Welcome Back from Conjunction

Pasadena CA (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
Mars has emerged from its holiday behind the Sun, and we here on Earth have been able to reconnect with Curiosity and get back to work on Mars. Our first planning day last Friday gave Curiosity a full weekend of activities, which wrapped up with getting us ready for our next drill. We checked out a broken white rock in the workspace with APXS, MAHLI, and ChemCam's laser spectrometer and fi

DLR plans new control center for future Moon and Mars missions

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
For upcoming human and robotic missions to the Moon and Mars, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) will establish a new Human Exploration Control Center (HECC) at its site in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich. The new facility will expand the existing German Space Operations Center (GSOC) and is designed to manage complex, long-duration missions beyond low Earth orbit while reinforcing Germany and Europ

NASA Study: Non-biologic Processes Don't Fully Explain Mars Organics

Spacedaily.com 

Greenbelt MD (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
In a new study, researchers say that non-biological sources they considered could not fully account for the abundance of organic compounds in a sample collected on Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover. In March 2025, scientists reported identifying small amounts of decane, undecane, and dodecane in a rock sample analyzed in the chemistry lab aboard Curiosity. These were the largest organic compo

Isar Aerospace expands engine and stage testing at Esrange

Munich, Germany (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
Isar Aerospace is expanding its test operations at Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, Sweden, by establishing a second test site in cooperation with SSC Space. The new infrastructure is intended to support the development and production ramp up of the companys Spectrum launch vehicle and to help make access to space more scalable for European customers. The expansion at Esrange is aligned wit

Dark matter core may drive Milky Way center

Spacedaily.com 

London, UK (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
Our Milky Way galaxy may not host a supermassive black hole at its center but instead an enormous concentration of dark matter that exerts an equivalent gravitational influence on nearby stars and gas, according to new research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The authors argue that this invisible substance, which makes up most of the universe's mass, can account b

NASA confirms first flight to ISS since medical evacuation

Washington, United States (AFP) Feb 6, 2026
Four astronauts will blast off to re-staff the International Space Station (ISS) next week, NASA said Friday, after an emergency medical evacuation of the previous crew. Crew-12 will lift off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket early Wednesday, the US space agency said, with launch time "targeted for no earlier than 6:01 am" local time (1101 GMT). The confirmation provides a sliver of certainty

First Crewed Moon Flyby In 54 Years: Artemis II

Tempe AZ (SPX) Feb 08, 2026
Almost as tall as a football field, NASAs Space Launch System rocket and capsule stack traveled slowly - just under 1 mile per hour - out to the Artemis II launchpad, its temporary home at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on Jan. 17, 2026. That slow crawl is in stark contrast to the peak velocity it will reach on launch day, over 22,000 miles per hour, when it will send a crew of four on a j
