A lack of rockets is creating a crisis for space technology companies | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Satellite operators are facing a launch crisis as the number of available rockets diminishes, a situation that could last years and prevent new satellites reaching space. Just last year, wait times for a rocket launch were only 12 months or so, says Anatolii Papulov, founder and CEO of UK space tech firm NewOrbit, but the situation has now changed dramatically. “The lead times to launch right now are basically 30 to 36 months,” he says. “This will definitely impact a lot of start-ups.” There “ab
NASA’s next major telescope might see alien oceans and rainbows | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A NASA telescope in early development should be able to detect light bouncing off the surface of oceans on alien planets, vital information in the hunt for alien life. The Habitable Worlds Observatory is currently earmarked for launch in the 2040s. It will sport an advanced coronagraph, a device that can block out much of the light emanating from other stars. This will allow us to take images of potentially habitable Earth-like worlds outside our solar system for the first time. NASA’s huge Nanc
Saturn has a big, weird decagon around its south pole | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Saturn has a new, odd weather pattern resembling a decagon near its south pole. This may have formed due to a large storm nearby, but researchers aren’t totally sure. The pattern has clearly defined sides shaped by powerful winds, looking like a decagon – a geometric polygon with 10 sides and 10 angles – from above. It is similar to a hexagonal weather pattern first seen at the planet’s north pole more than 40 years ago. Saturn’s rings may have formed after a huge collision with Titan “[But] the
Venus may have had a moon for nearly 2 billion years | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Venus has no moon, but a modelling study suggests it probably did have one for nearly 2 billion years – before the planet ate it. Understanding this could help us learn about Venus’s previous habitability. Many large objects probably hit Venus in the early solar system, which could have formed a moon, similar to the giant impact that is thought to have formed Earth’s moon. “There’s a very good chance that Venus did have a moon-forming impact,” says Stephen Kane at the University of California, R
NASA calls off rescue effort to save doomed telescope | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is doomed to burn up in Earth’s atmosphere in the coming months, after a high-risk effort to save it failed. On Wednesday 19 August, NASA said in a statement that an ongoing issue with the LINK spacecraft, built by US start-up Katalyst Space, meant that an effort to dock with and boost Swift in orbit would no longer be attempted. “NASA should be willing to move quickly and take smart risks when the potential return is worth it, and that is exactly what we did w
