- Scientist models way to make sure no one's violating the ban on nuclear weapons in space
A scientist proposes a model using high-energy particles in Earth's magnetic field to detect hidden nuclear weapons in orbit. The method relies on identifying neutron signals from nuclear materials interacting with trapped protons, potentially verifiable by inspector satellites like CubeSats.
- MIT’s new spacecraft engine could send tiny satellites to Mars
MIT researchers have developed a new spacecraft engine that uses a single fuel to power both chemical and electric thrusters, enabling small satellites to achieve quick bursts of speed and efficient long-range propulsion. A NASA-supported CubeSat mission will test the technology in orbit.
