The shortlist for the UK Government’s Nanosat Design Competition has been announced, with five teams – from apprentices to grammar school and university students – competing for a share of the £600,000 Challenge Fund. It was launched in November 2021, we covered, with aspiring space scientists invited to design a small satellite for launch, with climate change as the theme ...

I'll file this one under 'Gadget In-Extremis' but really it's just an excuse to highlight an amazing video: a timelapsed capture of the James Webb Space Telescope's journey from sea and land to space (on Christmas Day)...

This is one for ambitious, space-focused Gadget Masters: the UK Space Agency (UKSA) has opened the Nanosat Design Competition for entries, challenging you to design your own Nanosat, with climate change as a theme.

The ESA (European Space Agency), NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have announced the winners of their Earth Observation hackathon.

Say hello to Oscar-Qube, its name is short for Optical Sensors based on CARbon materials: QUantum Belgium. And, using an extra-sensitive magnetometer, the Earth-mapping system is now in space.
