Astronomers have been on the hunt for a new kind of exoplanet in recent years – one especially suited for habitability. They’re called hycean worlds‚ and they’re characterized by vast liquid water…

Some folks are worried about artificial intelligence being too woke. Count me among a different crowd: those worried about AI destroying the human race. I’m not sure exactly how it would do so‚ but…

It’s a headline straight out of the movies yet the White House has recently confirmed it believes that Russia is building space-based anti-satellite weapon! There seems to be no conclusive evidence what this might be but one option may be a nuclear bomb that would indiscriminately wipe out satellites within a huge volume of space! Not only would it devastate satellites but would cause more problems down on the surface and create a whole load of space junk.  In a statement‚ the National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said that he did not believe the weapon had an ‘active capability’ yet and further went on to say he did not believe it had even been deployed. He went on to say that the White House was monitoring Russian activity and would continue to take it very seriously.  Launching such a nuclear weapon into space would violate the 1967 Outer Space Treaty which countries of the United Nations‚ including Russia‚ signed. It prohibits putting nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction into space‚ on the Moon or on any other celestial object. Such an act would likely prompt sanctions from other nations and further compound the situation faced by Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. Note that such a device wouldn’t even actually need to be used‚ just deploying it into space would be sufficient to violate the Treaty.  A spokesperson from Moscow has denied the existence of such a program suggesting it was “malicious fabrication” that has been created by the American political teams. The Kremlin went on to suggest that such a fabrication might coerce the Congress to pass a $97 billion foreign aid bill which includes $60 million for Ukraine.  Tempting though such a nuclear device might seem to any countries wishing to unleash devastation to other nations‚ the impacts can be far reaching. The destruction of any object in orbit will create a whole debris field with components ranging from a few millimetres to several centimetres. At the moment‚ there are several hundreds of millions of pieces of space debris being tracked from Earth. The high velocity items drifting around pose a threat to other satellites still in operation and even the International Space Station which has had to apply course directions to avoid collisions.  Should Russia have‚ and launch and subsequently detonate a nuclear device in space‚ they would not only be putting themselves at risk of more sanctions but also be putting their own satellites at risk! It’s almost impossible to control the path of space debris so a detonation would generate more that would undoubtedly destroy some of Russia’s own satellites.  It may be some time before we know for certain whether Russia are planning a nuclear capability in space. The one hope is that they recognise the risk to their own‚ and other supportive countries space assets. Taking out a bunch of US or western satellites is one thing but the subsequent debris taking out their own infrastructures and those of other supportive nations may have repercussions that are quite unpalatable.  Even if the space debris does not knock out other satellites‚ it is certainly going to make it even harder for us to travel beyond the confines of the Earth due to the sheer volume of high velocity fragments orbiting the planet.

Intuitive Machines‘ Odysseus lander made space history today — becoming the first commercial spacecraft to survive a descent to the moon‚ and the first U.S.-built spacecraft to do so since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. But it wasn’t a trouble-free landing. Ground controllers had a hard time establishing contact with the robotic lander just after the scheduled touchdown time of 6:23 p.m. ET (2323 UTC). Several minutes passed‚ and then Intuitive Machines mission director Tim Crain reported that there was a faint signal coming from Odysseus’ high-gain antenna. “We’re not dead yet‚” he said. Your order was delivered… to the Moon! ?@Int_Machines' uncrewed lunar lander landed at 6:23pm ET (2323 UTC)‚ bringing NASA science to the Moon's surface. These instruments will prepare us for future human exploration of the Moon under #Artemis. pic.twitter.com/sS0poiWxrU— NASA (@NASA) February 22‚ 2024 A few minutes later‚ the IM-1 mission team decided that the signal was evidence enough that Odysseus was still operating. “What we can confirm without a doubt is our equipment is on the surface of the moon‚ and we are transmitting‚” Crain said. “So‚ congratulations‚ IM team‚ we’ll see how much more we can get from that.” As mission team members applauded‚ Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus radioed in with his congratulations. “I know this was a nail-biter‚ but we are on the surface and we are transmitting‚” he said. “Welcome to the moon.” “Houston‚ Odysseus has found its new home‚” Crain replied. What Odysseus was designed to do Odysseus‚ which is named after a seafaring hero in Greek mythology‚ was launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Feb. 15. The mission’s objective was to deliver payloads from NASA and commercial customers to a spot near Malapert A crater in the lunar south polar region. That area of the moon is of high interest because its cratered terrain is thought to hold resources of water ice that could be eventually be used to supply crewed outposts. NASA is paying Houston-based Intuitive Machines $118 million for the delivery under the terms of its Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative. The space agency’s payloads include a camera system that was designed to document the plumes of dust kicked up by the landing‚ an experimental radio navigation beacon‚ a radio-based fuel gauge‚ a laser range finder‚ a set of laser reflectors and a sensor that will study the moon’s electron plasma environment. Data from the experiments could help NASA plan for the Artemis program’s crewed lunar landings‚ which could start happening as soon as 2026. The commercial payloads range from a box of 125 marble-sized moon sculptures and a digital data storage device to a mini-observatory that could capture pictures of the lunar surface and the Milky Way above. There’s also a camera system that was designed to be dropped off during the descent to take “selfie” pictures of the touchdown. Backup systems come into play Odysseus reached lunar orbit on Feb. 21‚ and went through a series of maneuvers today to descend from an altitude of 92 kilometers (57 miles). NASA’s laser range finder‚ known as the Navigation Doppler Lidar or NDL‚ ended up playing a crucial backup role in guiding the descent. Just a couple of hours before landing‚ Intuitive Machines reported that controllers couldn’t get Odysseus’ own laser range finders to work — so they reprogrammed the lander to use NASA’s NDL system instead. In the wake of the landing‚ Intuitive Machines’ mission control team went through a series of procedures aimed at resetting equipment and boosting the signal from Odysseus. “After troubleshooting communications‚ flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data‚” Intuitive Machines reported in a posting to X / Twitter. “Right now‚ we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface.” It's getting late over here‚ but #IM1 @Int_Machines landed on the moon and is alive!!!! Congratulations!??? Somewhat weaker signal than expected‚ but it's definitely there‚ switching antennas/radios and calling home. ????? pic.twitter.com/AwlQOvVQ78— AMSAT-DL (@amsatdl) February 23‚ 2024 There’s a chance that Odysseus went off track during the final stages of the descent and ended up landing askew. That’s what happened a month ago when Japan’s SLIM spacecraft tumbled into an awkward position on its lunar landing site. SLIM’s off-kilter solar arrays were able to soak up enough power for an abbreviated round of science observations. Even under the best of circumstances‚ the solar-powered Odysseus lander is expected to be in operation on the lunar surface for only seven days. The mission is slated to end when the sun drops below the lunar horizon and the circuit-chilling lunar night begins. Past and future lunar robots NASA’s deputy associate administrator for exploration‚ Joel Kearns‚ noted in advance of the landing that the odds for a completely successful commercial moon landing were slim. “This is not an easy thing we’ve asked these companies to do‚ but if they’re successful‚ the up side for American exploration is just so great we have to try it‚” Kearns said. Last month‚ Pittsburgh-based Astrobotic missed out on sending its Peregrine lander to the lunar surface‚ due to a propellant leak that was detected after launch. The past year has also seen moon landing failures by Russia and a Japanese private venture‚ as well as successes by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s SLIM team and India’s space agency. Still more commercial moon landing attempts are on NASA’s calendar: Intuitive Machines is already working on another lander that will drill for ice in the moon’s south polar region. Meanwhile‚ Astrobotic is getting set to send NASA’s VIPER rover to a spot near the south pole‚ and Firefly Aerospace is due to deliver 10 NASA payloads to Mare Crisium aboard its Blue Ghost lander. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson accentuated the positive in a pre-recorded video message that was released on the assumption that Odysseus survived its descent to the surface. “Today‚ for the first time in more than half a century‚ the U.S. has returned to the moon‚” Nelson said. “Today‚ for the first time in the history of humanity‚ a commercial company‚ an American company‚ launched and led the voyage up there. Today is a day that shows the power and promise of NASA’s commercial partnerships. … This feat is a giant leap forward for all of humanity. Stay tuned.” Stay tuned‚ indeed.
