Space flight and central nervous system: Friends or enemies? Challenges and opportunities for neuroscience and neuro-oncology. [PDF]
Abstract Space environment provides many challenges to pilots, astronauts, and space scientists, which are constantly subjected to unique conditions, including microgravity, radiations, hypoxic condition, absence of the day and night cycle, etc. These stressful stimuli have the potential to affect many human physiological systems, triggering physical ...

Fuel Optimization for Low Earth Orbit Maintenance [PDF]
The resolution of Earth images taken from a satellite has close relation with satellite's altitude. If a satellite has lower altitude, it gets a picture having better resolution.

Unscented KALMAN Filtering for Spacecraft Attitude and Rate Determination Using Magnetometer [PDF]
An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) for estimation of the attitude and rate of a spacecraft using only magnetometer vector measurement is developed. The attitude dynamics used in the estimation is the nonlinear Euler`s rotational equation which is augmented

Abstract We observed Io with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) while the satellite was in eclipse, and detected thermal emission from several volcanoes. The data were taken as part of our JWST‐ERS program #1373 on 15 November 2022. Kanehekili Fluctus was exceptionally bright, and Loki Patera had most likely entered a new brightening phase.
