As the Solar Orbiter spacecraft beams back the most detailed images of the Sun, the Emirates Mars mission lifts off and we take stock of the decade-long plan to build on Australia’s astronomical community.
Gilmour Space on the Gold Coast is another pioneer of the Aussie space industry and they’re powering ahead with their hybrid rocket design. Today, co-CEO Adam Gilmour zooms in for A Trekzone Conversation about their company.
From electrical engineering, visual effects at ILM and Sulu on Star Trek: Continues. The man, the mythbuster, the legend – Grant Imahara.
We’ve covered it all on this week’s editions of Talkin’ Science, and it’s time to wrap them all up with this uncut edition, produced live…
The night time sky is turning on a treat for amateur astronomers with Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn all at opposition – find out exactly what that means, and how you can see it, with today’s Talkin’ Science Story of the Week..
It’s a real concern in both directions of travel as we set our minds to further missions to Mars and the Artemis program, space contamination could spell disaster not only for what lies preserved on the worlds of our solar system, but what these sample return missions (and crewed return missions) can bring back to Earth.
China’s space program has wrapped a busy week, launching three satellites into orbit from two launches. Dr Brad has the details in this Talkin’ Science Story of the Week.
As China launches three satellites in two weeks, NASA issues directives to manage space contamination and planetary opposition provides a treat for amateur astronomers. It’s Talkin’ Science from Trekzone!
Chief Engineer James Waldie is our guest today as part of Aussie Space Month here at Trekzone, with thanks to SpaceAustralia.com.
We’re back live for another edition of Talkin’ Science uncut. From hungry black holes to the loss of 7 satellites, we’ve got this week’s science and space news headlines.
Over the weekend Rocketlabs – the US company aiming to provide fast and reliable access to space – had another failure to launch, which resulted in the loss of all seven satellites.
Astronomers studying data from the Kepler Space Telescope have discovered moons orbiting exoplanets. They’re even harder to find because of their size, but these candidates are about 200 to 3,000 light years away.
Astronomers have made an astonishing discovery while spotting the largest black hole in the known universe. It’s thirty four billion times the mass of our star… and consumes the equivilant of our sun a day.
Astronomers are being kept busy by new research into black holes and exomoons as Rocketlabs – the US based company aiming to provide fast and reliable access to space – fails to launch again.
It’s Aussie Space Month all July (2020) here on Trekzone, and we’re kicking things off with Dr Jason Held having A Trekzone Conversation about his companies government contract to build our own mission control centre.
It’s time to produce live the uncut edition of Talkin’ Science. Catch up on our stories including Pluto’s potential ‘hot start’, some impressive black hole discoveries and the exoplanet spotted around baby star “AU Mic.”
Minerals on the surface of Mars could be the last remnants of an ancient sea 3.5 billion years ago, according to international researchers. The team say there are features in the southern Utopia region that could be evidence of a coastline, meaning for a short period in the planet’s history it could have had an ocean.
For the last hundred years or so, physicists believed the Universe was expanding equally in all directions, and used the concept of “dark energy” as a placeholder to help explain what they couldn’t understand.

Curtin University in Perth has joined forces with NASA, the University of Miami, San José State University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology
As NASA prepares for the first crewed Moon landing in more than five decades, the agency has identified an updated set of nine potential landing regions near the lunar South Pole for its Artemis III mission.
Those searching for life on Mars should look within its ice, according to international researchers.
