Plans for future investigations of the Perseverance Mars rover.
In Europe, an independent advisory group has reported to the European Space Agency calling for the Agency to significantly increase its autonomy in human and robotic space exploration. In the report, “Revolution Space: Europe’s Mission for Space Exploration”, the group argues that human space exploration is undergoing a revolution, which Europe cannot afford to miss.
Rocket Lab set to launch NASA’s TROPICS constellation to study cyclone/hurricane formation, evolution and dissipation.
A description of the Tropospheric Emissions Monitoring of Pollution, or TEMPO instrument and its mission.
