From Earth to Space: Test technology with lava tubes for future space exploration
The DLR scout roller is designed to explore the complex terrain of the lava tube. Credit: Roy LichTenheldt, DLR Are the ancient lava pipes in the Canary Islands common to space exploration? For the robot team, I knew quite a lot. Our researchers have traveled to Lanzalot, 18,000 km away from the home of Brisbane, and tested navigation and mapping…

Space researchers build signal system to warn of dangerous solar storms
Credit: Pager Researchers have created an improved signaling system to predict geomagnetic storms. They are currently testing how well these algorithms can prepare us for space storms that could wreak havoc by knocking out satellites in space and power grids on Earth. . Yuri Shprits, a space scientist at the German Earth Science Research Center in Potsdam, is on a…

Space Launch System could launch Titan balloon mission
An artist’s drawing of a balloon over Titan. Credit: Donahue et al. Few places in the solar system are better suited for ballooning than Titan. The combination of low gravity and high atmospheric density makes Saturn’s largest moons ideal for lighter-than-air vehicles, and the idea of placing them there has been around for at least 20 years. So why hasn’t…

NASA to test radiation-tolerant computing solution in space
The Radiation Tolerant Computer (RadPC) payload undergoes final inspection at Montana State University in Bozeman, which is leading the payload project. RadPC is one of the next 10 NASA payloads scheduled for delivery for NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative in 2025. The RadPC prototype has previously been tested on the International Space Station and Earth-orbiting satellites, and the…
