A new space antenna design could revolutionize satellite technology. Using 3D printing and a little bit of air pressure, engineers can create an incredibly lightweight antenna for use in space. This “blown-up” antenna can be quickly deployed and collapsed, depending on the mission needs. Advanced materials and technology have made it possible to have a low-mass antenna that is highly effective. The sky is the limit with this groundbreaking new design!
The James Webb Space Telescope recently gazed at the M83 Galaxy, an impressive spiral galaxy located in the constellation Hydra. This telescope was launched into orbit on October 31, 2021 and has the ability to capture images of astronomical objects far beyond Earth’s view. Its imaging capabilities allow it to capture star formation, gas clouds, and other processes that are otherwise difficult to detect. This is the telescope’s first observation of M83 and showcases its power and capacity to discover more information about the universe.
A mysterious “devil comet” will be passing by Earth on November 11th, and it’s an exciting opportunity to catch a glimpse of cosmic mythology.

All you need for this night time event is some comfortable outdoor seating and a clear view of the November sky. Be sure to witness this once in a lifetime opportunity!
Competition is a widely accepted notion in business but it typically does not work when it comes to global pandemics. In a recently published paper, a team of scientists suggest that instead of facing this crisis as individual countries, a unified international effort should be adopted, with mutual trust and cooperation forming a backbone to global pandemic response. This global approach will involve a sharing of resources, data, and strategies to ensure effective, long-term counter-measures to the global pandemic.
In November of 2023, a historical and exciting event is planned as NASA will hold their first ever all-female spacewalk, marking a major milestone in the effort to further gender equality in the space industry.

Two female astronauts will venture out on a journey outside the International Space Station as they take part in a special 6 and a half hour spacewalk. With this event, it is hoped that further steps will be taken to create an equitable and inclusive future in the world of space exploration.
