Science and technology, explained simply
Two small lunar rovers called LEV1 and LEV2, which Japan’s Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) managed to free before the landing, took pictures of the inverted lander and transmitted them to Earth.
According to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Lunar Excursion Vehicle 2 (LEV2) lunar rover, which is shaped like a ball, took a picture of the SLIM spacecraft, which tipped over during a hard landing and stood on its head.
The images were then transmitted to Earth via the LEV1 wireless communication system. After landing, the lunar module worked for about two hours and then fell asleep.
Revolutionary research by Swiss scientists opens new horizons in the search for extraterrestrial life. Their artificial intelligence model has identified 44 star systems where Earth-like planets could potentially exist. This represents a significant breakthrough in astronomy and exoplanet research. Artificial Intelligence Expands the Boundaries of Space Research Swiss scientists have developed an innovative artificial intelligence […]

Specialists of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States published amazing photos of the Cygnus cargo spacecraft of the American company Northrop Grumman on the social network X. The images were taken before Cygnus left the International Space Station on July 12 and burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere. The images from […]
The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to send the Ramses spacecraft to track the asteroid Apophis as it approaches our planet on April 13, 2029. The 375-meter-diameter asteroid will fly at a distance of only 32,000 kilometers from Earth – closer than some satellites in orbit. Despite its close passage, Apophis does not pose a […]
The Chinese company Space Pioneer has conducted a spectacular bench test of the Tianlong-3 launch vehicle with a reentry first stage. During the burning of the engines, the rocket spontaneously broke away from the launch pad, rose several hundred meters, and then fell and exploded 1.5 km from the test site. According to Space Pioneer, […]
