A 2019 study found that of viruses originating from the five most common mammalian sources — primates, rodents, carnivores, ungulates and bats — those from bats are the most virulent in humans.
The company had been planning to reach space with the test flight on Saturday but the spaceplane's engine cut off too early. Following the incident, the vehicle's two pilots flew back to Spaceport America and landed safely.
The cargo Dragon will remain at the space station for a month, before parachuting into the Atlantic with science samples and discarded gear. The crew Dragon will stay up until spring.
At about 10 kilometers (6 miles) above ground, a parachute was opened to slow its fall and beacon signals were transmitted to indicate its location in the sparsely populated area of Woomera in southern Australia.
According to ISRO, on Thursday, NewSpace India had signed the agreement with Pixxel to launch its first satellite.
A team led by an Indian-origin scientist in the US has developed a new system that can extract oxygen and hydrogen fuel from the salty water on Mars, and may radically change the logistics of future missions to the Red Planet and beyond.
Chang’e 5 — named for the Chinese moon goddess — is the country’s boldest lunar mission yet. If successful, it would be a major advance for China’s space program, and some experts say it could pave the way for bringing samples back from Mars or even a crewed lunar mission.
The nebula -- a cloud of gas in space -- is likely composed of debris from two stars that collided and merged into a single star, said a study published in the journal Nature.
Two Russian cosmonauts have conducted a six-hour 48-minute spacewalk to prepare the International Space Station for a new module.
