Will a swarm of autonomous rovers perform scientific exploration of Mars faster and more precisely than currently used rovers? This concept is being tested in Józefosław near Warsaw by researchers from Poland, Switzerland and the USA, as part of a project conducted in cooperation with NASA.
If refuelling in orbit were possible, then fully functional satellites would not have to be decommissioned due to lack of fuel. Two centres of the Łukasiewicz Research Network - Institute of Aviation and the Polish company PIAP Space undertook a comprehensive development of all the necessary elements of such a service.
After Roscosmos has been excluded from the ExoMars mission, Astronika will take over the construction of a key component. It will be responsible for the ramp on which the rover will descend from the lander to the planet's surface.
BitByBit has significantly contributed to the creation of a new European system that provides a unified ground infrastructure for multiple European space missions. The company will participate in the further development and operation of the system.
The European space weather platform, which reports on phenomena that may negatively impact communications, navigation and remote sensing, has been improved by, among others, scientists from the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
The Polish company Scanway - together with the European Space Agency and ArianeGroup - presented the first photos from the inaugural flight of the Ariane 6 rocket. These images confirm the operation of the vision system offered by Scanway in space conditions, the company reports.
Before leaving for the International Space Station, the Polish astronaut will learn how to run experiments in the laboratory. The biological laboratory, modelled on the one on the ISS, is located at the German Space Agency (DLR) in Cologne.
Black holes are not responsible for the creation of dark matter - according to the observations of Polish astronomers from the OGLE project, who have just presented the results of analyses of 20 years of observational data. They also report that primordial black holes cannot be the source of gravitational waves.
A Polish company specializing in space engineering will coordinate the construction of an antenna system for communication with Earth for the European Space Agency’s large mission ARIEL.
