Rsc Energia Patents Space System with Artificial Gravity The patented space system by RSC Energia comprises one axial and four habitable modules, rotation means, and power supply. It is designed to ensure the station's continuous operation even if one hermetic connection element malfunctions. Rotation within the system enables the generation of an overload of 0.5g, equivalent to up to 50% of Earth's gravity. This innovation holds promising implications for long-duration space missions and the well-being of astronauts.

Model demonstrating the operation of a geostationary satellite A model showcasing the operation of a geostationary satellite was unveiled for educational purposes. The demonstration aimed to explain how these satellites orbit the Earth at the same speed as the planet's rotation, allowing them to remain fixed over one position on the equator. This positioning makes them ideal for telecommunications, weather monitoring, and other applications requiring constant coverage of a specific area. The model illustrated how geostationary satellites provide a stable platform for various services due to their fixed position relative to the Earth. By maintaining a consistent vantage point, these satellites enable uninterrupted communication, weather forecasting, and geographic mapping. Understanding the mechanics behind geostationary satellites is crucial for appreciating their role in modern technology and everyday life.

Why are robot dogs crucial for Moon missions and can Russia manufacture them? The global space race is intensifying as nations gear up to establish Moon bases. China is leading the way with plans for lunar caves and trials of quadruped reconnaissance robots. Alexander Bon, a specialist from the Moscow Aviation Institute's Center for Space Technologies, evaluates the significance of China's advancements and explores Russia's capability to produce similar robotic devices.

Mysterious Nebula Reveals Sinister Silhouette The IC 2118 nebula, commonly referred to as the Witch Head Nebula, is known for its eerie appearance that has sparked fascination among astronomers and stargazers. Upon closer inspection, observers can distinguish a sinister silhouette within the nebula, resembling the profile of a witch's head. This distinctive feature is what inspired the nebula's ominous moniker and contributes to its mystique in the night sky.

Basic Automata: How Willie Ley Predicted the Launch of the First Earth Satellites Two years before the triumphant "Beep! Beep! Beep!" of the First Satellite, American science popularizer Willie Ley detailed what the spacecraft of the Space Age's beginning would be like. Small, unmanned, with minimal instruments – he calculated the mass, trajectory, and goals of these "pioneers." Expert Igor Afanasyev from Pro Cosmo highlighted Willie Ley's prophetic accuracy that proved remarkably true. Ley's insights into the characteristics of the first satellites, including their size, unmanned nature, and basic instrumentation, were remarkably prescient and aligned with the actual developments in the early days of space exploration.

Russian Device on the ISS Captures Powerful Signal from the Sun Despite the overall decrease in solar activity, the X-ray monitor SPIN-Kh1-MVN on the International Space Station (ISS) has detected one of the most intense signals ever recorded during its operation. The SPIN-Kh1-MVN, installed outside the "Zvezda" module in December 2024 by cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Wagner for the "Sky Monitor" (MVN) experiment, captured this remarkable solar event.

All-Female Crew Completes 10-Day Isolation Experiment in Kazakhstan Four female engineers and researchers in Kazakhstan recently concluded a 10-day isolation experiment from October 1 to 10. The team performed cognitive and behavioral studies, physiological measurements, and assessed the capsule's engineering systems. At the end of the experiment, only three participants remained, with valuable data gathered to enhance the national astronaut training program. The findings from the isolation experiment, named SANA-1, will play a crucial role in shaping the country's future astronaut training initiatives. The research conducted by the all-female crew will contribute to advancing knowledge in space exploration and preparing for future manned missions.

Gravitational Lensing Helps Detect the Lightest Dark Object Dark matter, which cannot be directly observed, influences the distortion and deflection of light from distant galaxies due to the gravity of unseen objects. The recently discovered dark object surpasses the Sun's mass by a million times and is positioned approximately 10 billion light years away from Earth.

Perseids Meteor Shower Reaches Peak The current peak of the Perseids meteor shower is showcasing a spectacular display of over 100 meteors captured in a composite photo. The image, compiled from shots taken across six nights, highlights the meteors originating from the radiant point in the Perseus constellation. In addition to the meteor shower, the long-exposure photos also unveil the Milky Way and various nebulae, offering a stunning glimpse into the vastness and dynamism of the night sky during the Perseids activity.
