Summary

This research investigates how wind transports sand across Mars to improve the safety of future space missions. Combining measurements from Earth-based analogue dunes with computational modelling and NASA satellite data, the approach predicts Martian winds and sandstorms with high accuracy, potentially reducing landing risks and supporting future human exploration of Mars.

Summary

This research aims to make space travel cheaper by creating reusable rocket engines. Current engines overheat to destructive levels, but simulations show that adjusting the fuel–oxygen ratio can cool them without losing power. By preventing long-term damage, engines can be reused, lowering launch costs and expanding access to space exploration.
