This Article was written by our editor, Kamakhya Arora Designing for space is unlike any traditional design process. It requires us to dream beyond the present and envision a future that does not yet exist. Every decision must consider physics, psychology, and adaptability in an environment where the rules of Earth do not apply. The
Gravitational waves, first predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 as a consequence of his General Theory of Relativity, represent one of the most profound discoveries in modern astrophysics. These ripples in spacetime, caused by the acceleration of massive objects, provide a novel means of observing and understanding the universe. Since their first direct detection in

The astronomical community eagerly awaits the potential explosion of T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), commonly known as the “Blaze Star,” a recurrent nova located approximately 3,000 light-years away in the constellation Corona Borealis. If predictions hold, this rare event will mark the first such occurrence since 1946, offering sky-watchers a unique opportunity to witness a
Firefly Aerospace has announced its selection of Blue Origin’s Honeybee Robotics to provide a lunar rover for its third lunar mission, set to launch in 2028. The mission will explore the Gruithuisen Domes, a scientifically significant and enigmatic volcanic formation on the Moon’s near side. This collaboration highlights a growing trend of commercial partnerships leveraging

Space exploration has pushed the boundaries of human endurance, exposing astronauts to prolonged periods in microgravity environments. Understanding how the human body adapts to such conditions is crucial for the planning of long-duration missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. This article discusses the major physiological changes that occur in the human body after several
