Space Exploration
From robotic landers probing distant moons to the crewed missions pushing further than humans have gone in fifty years, this is where SpaceInfo Club tracks the push beyond Earth orbit. Coverage spans NASA, ESA and commercial missions, the engineering that gets them there, and the science they bring back.
Reporting draws on conversations with the scientists behind these missions, including astrophysicist Dr Francesca Faedi (University of Leicester, Orbital Innovation Ltd.), who studies how deep-space conditions affect the human body. See the full list of astronomers and mission scientists we’ve spoken with.

Dark matter does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. It cannot be detected directly by any telescope. Instead, astronomers measure its presence through gravitational lensing — the subtle distortion of light from distant galaxies as it passes through massive structures.

NASA has just released new findings from a fresh analysis of Cassini mission data — and the results are remarkable.
This new fabric will be integrated into Spacewear’s next-generation spacesuit, the Smart Flight Suit 3 (SFS3) — designed to be safer, lighter and more sustainable.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there.
Spacewear’s research team is also developing materials capable of mitigating lunar dust, one of the biggest operational challenges for future missions on the Moon.
