Join Ariane 6 launch system architect, Tina, as she shows us a day in her life.
Tina has worked on space transport systems for 20 years now. She first worked on the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), then on the Ariane 5 Mid-life Evolution development and now on Europeâs newest launcher Ariane 6.
How did she become a rocket scientist?
âI was lucky enough to spend some months in French Guiana as a student for an internship and working there got me hooked â I was determined to come back for my job one day, and here I am: I spent a great part of 2023 in Kourou testing the Ariane 6 propulsion system, together with an amazing team of very skilled professionals.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have a job and colleagues that make me want to get out of bed and into the office every day â because we love what we do and because the people are simply amazing!â

Ganymede is the primary scientific target of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, Juice, mission. With a diameter of about 5260 km, larger than that of Pluto and Mercury, Ganymede tops the Solar-System moonsâ size chart. It is the seventh moon from the gas giant (and the third among the Galilean satellites) and orbits Jupiter at a distance of more than 1 million kilometres. Researchers believe there is tidal heating on Ganymede, although to a much smaller degree than on Io and Europa. This heat could drive some tectonic activity and provide one of the necessary conditions for life to emerge: a source of energy.
This high-resolution mapping of the surface can help constrain the moonâs composition and mineralogy, and assess how habitable Ganymede could be by searching for biosignatures. Observations at various wavelengths will allow astronomers to study non-water-ice material to determine the distribution of biologically essential elementsâsuch as carbon or oxygenâand other important elementsâsuch as magnesium and ironâon the planetary body. The mission will also shed light on the origin and evolution of the materials on the surface by exploring which substances form at Ganymede and which are brought in from the plasma environment around the moon.
To study Ganymede in detail, Juice will enter orbit around it, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit a moon in the outer Solar System. The dedicated orbital tour is expected to last about eight months and will be the final stage of the mission.

Is there life on Mars? No, we have never discovered life on the Red Planet, but we have found lots of evidence that suggests Mars could have once supported life in its ancient past. Thereâs even a chance that Mars could be habitable beneath its surface. NASA astrobiologist Heather Graham explains more.

A detailed concept for a lunar habitat, created by one of the worldâs leading architectural firms with ESA technical support, is currently on show at the Biennale in Venice. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, originator of many of the worldâs tallest skyscrapers, worked with ESA on a semi-inflatable habitat design which could be part of a long-term vision for an international Moon settlement.
The resulting design is on show at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia (@BiennaleChannel). While the theme of the overall exhibition is âHow will we live together?â, the SOM installation is called âLife Beyond Earthâ, peering beyond our post-COVID-19 planet to show how human life can be sustained in the hostile space environment.
The installation encompasses two large-scale, physical models and this film, bringing Biennale visitors on a journey from Earth to the Moonâs surface.
SOM designed a semi-inflatable shell structure to offer the highest possible volume to mass ratio. Once inflated on the lunar surface, it would reach approximately double its original internal volume.
A lot of work went into the four-storey habitat interior, in terms of lighting conditions, reconfigurable features, and a high floor to ceiling space, to allow crew members to take advantage of lunar one-sixth g using grabbing bars and other simple aids.
Its chosen site has been described as the most desirable real estate in the Solar System: the rim of Shackleton crater beside the lunar South Pole. Avoiding the crippling temperature extremes of the Moonâs two-week days and nights, this location offers near-continuous sunlight for solar power, an ongoing view of Earth and access to lunar water ice deposits in adjacent permanently-shadowed craters.

If astrobiologists find life beyond Earth in the solar system, it will most likely be in the form of tiny organisms called microbes â nothing that would talk to us. But the galaxy is a big place; the universe even bigger. Somewhere out there, life may have evolved to become as smart, or even much smarter, than us. And the next step in that ladder may be âpost-biological,â argues Susan Schneider, the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, Exploration, and Scientific Innovation. Advanced life may be entirely based on microchips and silicon, using the tools of artificial intelligence instead of brains. Listen to the full episode of âGravity Assistâ at nasa.gov/gravityassist.

Astrobiologists study ancient lakes on Earth in order to help us search for life in our solar system and beyond. Subscribe to our “Gravity Assist” podcast for this episode and more: www.nasa.gov/gravityassist
As the Perseverance Rover flies toward Jezero Crater on Mars, which once hosted water, astrobiologists are interested in places on Earth that are similar to the rover landing site. Kennda Lynch, scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas, has been doing fieldwork in an ancient lake location in Utah called the Pilot Valley Playa. In this episode of Gravity Assist, she describes her recent discoveries and why sheâs excited about Perseverance. She also explains how all life forms create waste products, even bacteria, that could leave tracers or âbiosignaturesâ for scientists to detect. By looking at how microbes survive in extreme environments on Earth, scientists can explore the bigger question of how life could sustain itself on other planetary bodies like Mars and Jupiterâs moon Europa.

Curiozitatea, povestea Ći ecuaĆŁiile sunt coloana vertrebralÄ a fizicii. Curiozitatea este scĂąnteia care, odatÄ ce pÄtrunde Ăźn creier, declanĆeazÄ o reacĆŁie Ăźn lanĆŁ. AĆa cum Ćtim de la copii, curiozitatea este satisfÄcutÄ prin poveĆti. Acesta este al doilea pas. DeÈi frumoase, poveÈtile nu descriu cantitativ Èi precis natura. De aceea, pentru a Ăźncheia povestea, trebuie sÄ ĂźnvÄÈam sÄ folosim matematica, limbajul universal al naturii. âFizica este o cale de a te descoperi pe tine insutiâ, asa cum ne marturiseste Cristian Presura.
Fiind unul dintre cei mai cunoscuti fizicieni romani contemporani, Cristian Presura s-a descoperit pe sine prin fizica. Nascut in 1971 acesta a studiat Fizica la Universitatea din Bucuresti. Dupa terminarea studiilor a lucrat la Intitutul de Fizica Atomica unde a studiat proprietatile laserelor in medii active si solide.
A caracterizat proprietatile optice ale sistemelor corelate de electroni, obtinadu-si astfel doctoratul in fizica la Universitatea Groningen din Olanda Ăźn anul 2002. In urma cercetarilor sale, Cristian a publicat rezultatele descoperite Ăźn numeroase lucrari publicate in reviste de specialitate precum : Science.
In prezent Cristian este dedicate domeniului cercetarii si doreste sa aduca inovatie prin descoperirile sale. Acesta lucreaza ca cercetator la compania Philips si este specializat in sensozi medicali. Alaturi de echipa sa, a inventat primul ceas ce poate masura pulsul sportivilor exclusiv pe baza sensorilor optici. Cristian Presura este totodata membru al asociatiei cercetatorilor romani Ad Astra.
Dedicarea lui Cristian pentru cercetare nu se opreste aici. Acesta a publicat de-a lungul carierei sale zeci de lucrari si brevete, una dintre cele mai cunsocute fiind volumul âFizica povestitaâ, o lucrare distinsa ce a fost premiata cu Premiul Academiei Romane in domeniul stiintelor fizice.
Din dorinta de a populariza stiinta si in particular fizica, Cristian este fondator al asociatiei Stiinte pentru Toti. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
The Rio Tinto river snakes through the Spanish countryside for 100 kilometres, a dark, blood-red stain of acid water and rusty-looking rocks that scientists love to study. Both ESA and NASA experts regularly spend weeks in the Rio Tinto, examining the life underground, and using it as a test bed to look for life on Mars.

A composite day at ESTEC, the European space research and technology centre, as depicted in time-lapse format.
Located in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, ESTEC is Europeâs largest place for space, the technical heart of the European Space Agency. For almost all European space missions, the path to space leads through ESTEC.
Around 2700 people arrive here for work every day, working on a broad range of space activities from scientific exploration to telecommunications, Earth observation to navigation, robotics to human spaceflight.
A suite of unique laboratories probe every aspect of the space environment, applying decades of hard-won expertise. Seen here is preparation for testing materials in simulated space conditions as well as atomic force microscopy, employing a nanometer-wide tip like a stylus across a record player to reveal surface topography down to the atomic scale.
Full-scale testing of satellites takes place in the ESTEC Test Centre, including the Maxwell Chamber, kept isolated from the external world for precision electromagnetic testing, and the Large Space Simulator, Europeâs largest vacuum chamber used to reproduce the airlessness and temperature extremes encountered in space. The chamber uses large quantities of liquid nitrogen to mimic the chill of deep space.
Erasmus is ESTECâs human spaceflight facility, supporting researchers in the design and performance of experiments in microgravity conditions. Also based there is ESTECâs Telerobotics lab â developing methods of remotely controlling robots using force feedback, extending the human sense of touch to space. The lab team are putting the finishing touches to the Interact Centaur rover, a robot designed to be operated remotely by astronauts in orbit.

NASA-funded astrobiology research has changed the fundamental knowledge about what comprises all known life on Earth.
Researchers conducting tests in the harsh environment of Mono Lake in California have discovered the first known microorganism on Earth able to thrive and reproduce using the toxic chemical arsenic. The microorganism substitutes arsenic for phosphorus in its cell components.
This finding of an alternative biochemistry makeup will alter biology textbooks
and expand the scope of the search for life beyond Earth. The research
is published in this week’s edition of Science Express.
