NASA has selected three lunar investigations to measure hazards, probe a possible lava tube and examine ice in tiny cold traps—evidence that could shape future surface operations.

Seventy-three Horizon Europe projects are beginning work with €411m for research tools, data services, climate modelling and scientific facilities.

NASA has moved the PRIMA far-infrared telescope into preliminary design, targeting a 2033 launch if the mission passes its confirmation review.

ESA has awarded parallel studies for Europe’s planned EOGS secure Earth-observation system, with architecture work due before operations begin in 2028.

A new £18m UKRI competition will fund independent research into gambling harms, with awards up to £2m and safeguards around industry involvement.

ESA’s FLEX and Sentinel-3C satellites are in orbit, beginning a mission to measure plant fluorescence and strengthen environmental monitoring.

ESA has integrated a tool that predicts where meteorite fragments may land using orbital data, fragmentation models and forecast winds.

UKAEA and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory plan to connect fusion-focused AI systems, share experimental data and develop digital twins.

A three-year Guildford study found a woodland site markedly cooler during extreme heat. Its single-site comparisons also show why local context matters.

NASA’s new M-FORCE team will reassess how Earth microbes could reach and survive on Mars. The review is not a finding of Martian life or a rule change.
