Euroopan lentoturva llisuusvir asto EASAn mukaan avaruusturistit ovat jäämässä lainsäädännön kannalta outoon tyhjiöön. Euroopasta laukaistavien avaruustur ismilentoj en lainsäädännön kehittäminen kuuluu EASAlle, mutta viraston määräyksillä ei ole voimaa ilmakehän ulkopuolella.

With Virgin Galactic planning to fly space tourism flights from Kiruna, Sweden, the European Aviation Safety Agency has started to develop safety rules for civilian spaceflight - although the scope of the regulations will be limited, New Scientist reports .
“But the agency admits it cannot legislate for flights beyond the atmosphere: “EASA has no competency nor mandate for outer s...... [Show More]
The European Aviation Safety Agency is developing safety rules for civilian space flight - but they will only apply while craft are in the Earth’s atmosphere.
With Sweden already building a spaceport from which Virgin Galactic may offer flights into the aurora borealis, EASA has decided to act. “Both [Virgin’s] carrier aircraft and the rocket-powered aeroplane/glider would meet...... [Show More]

The arrival of spring in southern Mars is reviving NASA’s two venerable Mars rovers as deepening autumn in the arctic north slowly freezes the Phoenix lander .
After hibernating for the winter on the northern edge of a plateau called Home Plate, the Spirit rover moved uphill in October to collect more sunlight.
On the other side of the planet, the Opportunity rover, which climb...... [Show More]

NASA’s Phoenix lander may spend its last days on Mars in a ‘Groundhog Day’-like state, performing the same sequence of weather measurements over and over again.
Phoenix team members hope to upload repeating commands to the craft as early as today to place the lander in a ‘terminal science mode’. The plan is designed to wring a few additional weather measurements...... [Show More]

Cassini ha recolectado indicios de que en Enceladus, una de las lunas de Saturno, podría existir vida.
Enceladus ha fascinado a los investigadores desde que en el año 2005 se detectaron chorros de vapor de agua en el polo sur del satélite. Estos chorros confirmarían la teoría que afirma la existencia de un océano de agua líquida debajo de la superficie de Enceladus, océano que podría albergar...... [Show More]
