ISRO sets up mission to simulate life on moon
ISRO has set up its first-ever analog space mission in Ladakh (Northern India) recently. Analog space missions are designed to simulate the extreme environments of regions in space. The mission has been set up to train Indian astronauts for India’s planned mission to send humans to the moon by 2040.
Old data from Voyager-2 shows that Uranus could have had liquid water
The Voyager-2 spacecraft, launched in 1977, is one of only two to leave the solar system. In 1986, it became the first and only spacecraft to observe Uranus and its moons. Recently, 38 years after the data was collected, scientists noticed that the data from Vooyager-2 showed that there could have been an ocean of liquid water buried beneath the surface of Uranus’ moon Miranda. This can’t be confirmed yet until another spacecraft gets a closer view of the moon, but this discovery has increased the scientific interest in Miranda.
