UCLA Unveils SPLITTER, a Tethered Jumping Robot for Space Exploration
Researchers at UCLA’s RoMeLa lab have developed SPLITTER, a robotic system designed for planetary exploration through tethered jumping. The system consists of two quadrupedal robots connected by a tether, allowing efficient movement in low-gravity environments like the Moon and asteroids. Unlike traditional rovers, SPLITTER’s design enables sta...

NASA, General Atomics Test Nuclear Fuel for Faster Mars Missions
NASA and General Atomics conducted key tests on nuclear reactor fuel at Marshall Space Flight Center. The fuel was exposed to extreme temperatures to assess its viability for nuclear thermal propulsion. With successful results, the technology could enable faster space travel, reducing risks for astronauts on long-duration missions. NASA and DARPA a...

Moon’s Deepest Canyons Formed in Minutes by High-Speed Impact Debris
Reports reveal that two gigantic canyons on the moon, deeper than the Grand Canyon, were formed in under ten minutes due to the rapid movement of rock debris following the impact that created Schrödinger basin. These canyons, Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, were carved by debris traveling at speeds of up to 4,600 km/h. Scientists suggest th...

Astronomers Capture Supermassive Black Hole Plasma Jets at Birth
For the first time, plasma jets from a supermassive black hole have been observed in real time. Located 270 million light-years away in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, the jets traveled at one-third the speed of light. Emerging in 2024 after a radio flare in 2023, the jets broke through dense gas near the black hole, which has a mass 1.4 billion times that of...

Groundbreaking Propulsion Method Using Relativistic Electron Beams Could Enable Interstellar Travel
A new propulsion method, using relativistic electron beams, could make interstellar travel feasible within a human lifetime. Researchers Jeff Greason and Gerrit Bruhaug have proposed accelerating electrons to near light speed to deliver kinetic energy to spacecraft. This method could enable probes to reach 10% of the speed of light, drastically red...
