Space labs leverage microgravity to overcome key challenges in synthetic meat production, using edible microcarriers and orbital bioreactors. This approach accelerates tissue growth while reducing environmental impact, with commercial products expected by 2026.
NASA partners with Netflix to bring its NASA+ streaming service to the platform this summer, expanding access to live space coverage for global audiences while maintaining free, ad-free viewing.
Engineered nanoparticles could warm Mars 5,000x more efficiently than previous methods by scattering sunlight and trapping heat, using materials already present on the planet. While not yet creating breathable air, this approach makes liquid water possible for microbial life or crops.
Space agencies and private companies are accelerating plans to mine asteroids for rare minerals and water ice. Technological advances and falling launch costs make this sci-fi concept increasingly feasible, with demonstration missions planned through 2026. Challenges include developing microgravity mining tech and establishing international space mining regulations.
Major space agencies have agreed on binding standards to manage orbital debris, including requirements for satellite design, end-of-life procedures, and active debris removal. The protocol addresses growing concerns about collision risks in increasingly crowded Earth orbits.
NASA is funding advanced plant growth systems for space missions, focusing on sustainable food production, oxygen generation, and psychological benefits for astronauts during long-duration Mars expeditions. Research includes Veggie and Advanced Plant Habitat systems on the ISS, with student contributions through citizen science programs.
