Ohmcraft is returning to space once again with more than 20 custom resistors for the Europa Clipper spacecraft. These resistors will play a vital role in two of the spacecraft’s critical scientific instruments; the MASPEX (Mass Spectrometer for Planetary Exploration) and SUDA (Surface Dust Mass Analyser).

Volcanism is a significant and transformative force shaping the earth’s surface. Volcanic eruptions, often dramatic and destructive, can rapidly alter landscapes and endanger both human and animal life. To improve the prediction of volcanic eruptions, INFICON, a specialist in measurement and sensor technologies, is collaborating with scientists and international research bodies on the Italian islands of Vulcano and Stromboli.

Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, is making significant inroads into the space industry.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has initiated a competition to create a robotic cargo capsule intended for missions to the International Space Station (ISS), with plans for the inaugural journey set for 2028. This venture represents a significant departure from ESA's conventional approach to project management.

In the infinite and often intangible fathoms of the cosmos, one company is looking to the stars – or more specifically, Low Earth Orbit – to build a pharmaceutical factory in space that will create crystalline antibodies to help those on earth.

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Ariane-6 rocket finally made its debut on 9th July 2024, from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. This launch was a significant milestone for Europe, marking the first flight of the Ariane-6, which aims to replace the Ariane-5 and restore Europe’s autonomous access to space. However, the launch has since been sullied by a new debate – the Ariane-6 vs Falcon 9 from SpaceX.
