Building such facilities off Earth could have a lot of benefits. Early projects are underway.

The trouble is, it can only ever be found in the most pristine areas, like Antarctica, because in most places there is so much other dust that micrometeorites are immediately lost. But Larsen wasn’t ...

AI gives a thumbs up to Brett Bellmore innovative modifications to Robert Zubrin’s Nuclear Salt Water Rocket (NSWR).

Research areas include how solar wind and micrometeorites produce volatiles, such as water, molecular oxygen, methane, and hydrogen, which are all crucial to supporting human activity on the moon.

Astronomers should search for technosignatures on planets that are not conducive to life. Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb ...

Maeda also co-led the team of researchers. She does not discriminate space rocks based on their size, as even “tiny micrometeorites” are scientifically valuable. “But of course, finding a big ...

A pre-assessment of targeted low-concentration IMP concentration using bulk samples from the genuine Antarctic ice core sections analysed on this study yield site-specific low concentrations (∼<20 ...

NASA’s Artemis project aims to put humans on the moon for the first time in more than half a century. Japan is slated to take part in this program, providing both astronauts and a rover to aid ...

U.K. start-up Pulsar Fusion has unveiled plans to build a fleet of reusable nuclear fusion-powered rockets, known as Sunbirds ...
