Using observations from a NASA suborbital rocket, an international team that includes a University of Leicester space scientist has, for the first time, successfully measured a planet-wide electric field thought to be as fundamental to Earth as its gravity and magnetic fields.
How the Sun influences the atmosphere, space weather and habitability of a planet, as well as the space between the stars, could be investigated by two proposed UK space missions, led by the University of Leicester.
A leading Leicester researcher will give a free talk on an exciting new space mission which will use a cutting-edge x-ray telescope developed in the city.
Work on building a cutting-edge x-ray telescope has been completed and the final instrument handed over, to be integrated into a spacecraft that will make new insights into the solar winds that bombard our planet’s magnetosphere.
ESSI brings together industry, academia & governments with finance & insurance communities to understand and incentivising sustainable activities in space.
EarthCARE will revolutionise our understanding of how clouds and aerosol particles affect weather and climate, helping to resolve disagreements between projections of future climate.
Space Park Leicester in collaboration with the Institute for Space at the University of Leicester is proud to announce an upcoming Space Park Conversations event featuring Dr Ellen Stofan, Under Secretary for Science and Research at the Smithsonian Institution.
Leicester researchers studying the Earth’s surface temperature have warned the more frequent extreme weather the world is experiencing will soon reach a tipping point if carbon emissions are not reduced.
A ‘twin’ of the world’s wetlands is to be created by Leicester scientists from satellite data, mathematical models and artificial intelligence to help monitor and reduce methane emissions.
