Caccia all’oro nell'Eldorado spaziale. L'idea di estrarre risorse dagli asteroidi ha dominato la narrazione della New Space Economy nell'ultimo decennio. Ma tra le presentazioni in PowerPoint delle startup e la dura realtà della fisica spaziale c'è di mezzo un oceano tecnologico ancora da attraversare. Un recente studio internazionale prova a tracciare la rotta, distinguendo...

What Is the US Deorbit Vehicle? - New Space Economy
The International Space Station represents the largest single structure humans have ever assembled in space. For more than two decades, this orbital laboratory has served as a continuous home for astronauts and cosmonauts, a diplomatic bridge between global powers, and a testing ground for the technologies required to venture deeper into the solar system. However, the station operates in a harsh environment. Thermal cycling, radiation, and micrometeoroid impacts degrade its structural integrity over time. The seals are aging, the metal shows signs of fatigue, and the risk of a catastrophic failure increases with each passing year.

What can go wrong on a human mission to Mars? - New Space Economy
The dream of sending humans to Mars is a testament to our species' ambition, a beacon of exploration that pulls our collective gaze toward the heavens. Yet, the journey to the Red Planet is not a simple voyage to a new shore. It is a multi-year gauntlet fraught with such an abundance of interlocking and catastrophic risks that a single, minor oversight in any one of a thousand systems can guarantee mission failure. Success is not defined by a single triumphant landing, but by the continuous, flawless management of potential disasters across every phase of the mission. The story of what can go wrong on a human mission to Mars is a catalogue of technological fragility, environmental hostility, and human fallibility, played out millions of kilometers from home with no possibility of rescue.
Declassification of the Manned Orbital Laboratory: An Analysis of Materials Released by the NRO
The Manned Orbital Laboratory (MOL) was a major initiative by the U.S. Air Force in partnership with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) during the 1960s. MOL was a secretive yet highly signif…
New measurements reveal the enormous halos that shroud all galaxies in the universe - New Space Economy
In a study published in Nature Astronomy, scientists reveal the first detailed picture of the gas shroud around a galaxy, extending 100,000 light years out into “empty” space. If our own Milky Way has a similar halo, it is likely already interacting with the halo of our nearest galactic neighbour, Andromeda.
