NASA Develops Robotic Technologies for Autonomous Exploration of Ocean Worlds
NASA is advancing robotic exploration technologies through OWLAT and OceanWATERS, systems designed to prepare landers for exploration on ocean worlds like Europa and Enceladus. OWLAT, developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), simulates lander operations on low-gravity, icy surfaces, while OceanWATERS provides a virtual environment replicati...

Time Moves Faster on The Moon Than on Earth, Claims New Study
A 56-microsecond daily time drift between Earth and the Moon, caused by relativity, presents unique challenges for future lunar missions. Scientists are devising a standard lunar time system to ensure navigation accuracy and mission safety, particularly as NASA’s Artemis programme expands human and robotic activity on the Moon. This groundwork is...

NASA SWIM Robots Tested for Future Missions to Explore Oceans on Europa
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is testing SWIM robots to potentially explore the subsurface oceans of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, believed to contain conditions suitable for life. The robots are designed to navigate autonomously and gather data through temperature, pH, and chemical sensors, helping scientists identify potential life...

Bristol's System Could Revolutionise Lunar Exploration with Remote Rover Control
The University of Bristol has developed a teleoperation system enabling remote control of lunar rovers, potentially revolutionising how lunar missions are conducted. The system bypasses signal delays, enabling precise sample collection and assembly tasks. Haptic feedback simulates lunar conditions, giving operators a realistic sense of touch when p...

China Launches Shenzhou 14 Capsule to Complete Tiangong Space Station Assembly
China on Sunday launched a new three-person mission to complete assembly work on its permanent orbiting space station. The Shenzhou 14 crew will spend six months on the Tiangong station, during which they will oversee the addition of two laboratory modules to join the main Tianhe living space that was launched in April 2021.
