Blue Origin has literally rolled out a test version of a power tower to gather solar energy for Moon Base operations. The tower would be mounted on the Blue Moon MK1’s top deck, then extends upwards to 85 feet (26 meters) total height and deploys solar arrays. “The infrastructure era of lunar exploration starts now,” […]

Now circling Earth in a T-shaped configuration, China is readying a new module that upgrades the orbiting facility to a cross shape. The current station consists of the Tianhe core module, the Wentian lab module and the Mengtian lab module. According to a report by China Media Group (CMG), the first phase of expansion will […]

NASA’s plan to de-orbit the International Space Station in coming years has fallen under the scrutiny of a government watchdog group.

New studies have helped identify what the Moon’s South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin has to offer – a massive impact structure on the Moon’s far side. Regions near SPA are also potential landing sites for NASA’s Artemis missions. Rare opportunity SPA is considered one of the Moon’s oldest surviving features, providing insight into the early […]

GOLDEN, Colorado – First of all, take into account centuries of accumulated engineering knowhow, hard-learned lessons, and societal evolution. We here on home planet Earth have shaped a robust framework of building standards that governs construction on our world today. But now, as humanity prepares to put in place a “sustained presence” on the moon, […]

According to the NASA Curiosity Mars rover team, the challenge is piecing together how a vast network of boxwork could exist on Mount Sharp, the 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) mountain the rover has been ascending. “Each layer of the mountain formed in a different era of Mars’ ancient, changing climate. The higher […]
