00:00:00 --> 00:00:03 Anna: Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go to
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 podcast for all things space and astronomy.
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07 I'm Anna.
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10 Avery: And I'm Avery. We're thrilled to have you
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13 join us for another episode packed with
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16 the latest and most exciting news from beyond
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16 our planet.
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19 Anna: Today we've got some great stories to share,
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22 from groundbreaking satellite launches to
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 potential encounters with interstellar
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 objects, and even a peek into how
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30 AI is shaping the future of astronaut
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30 health.
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 Avery: So get ready to dive deep into the cosmos
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37 with us right here on Astronomy Daily.
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40 Let's get started. Kicking off our
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43 news, we have a major stride
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45 in global weather and climate monitoring.
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 The European Spaceport in Kourou, French
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 Guiana saw the successful launch of the
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 first in a new series of satellites, the the
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 Metop second generation aboard
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 an Ariane 6 rocket.
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02 Anna: That's right, Avery. This isn't just any
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 satellite. It marks a new era for weather and
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 climate monitoring from polar orbit.
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 Liftoff happened on August 13th and within a
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 few hours we had confirmation that Metop
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 SGA1 was alive and well.
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 Solar, uh, arrays deployed, ready to generate
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17 power.
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20 Avery: It's fantastic news, especially given the
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23 increasingly erratic weather patterns we're
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26 seeing. This mission is designed to build
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29 on the legacy of the first generation METOP
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31 satellites, but with significantly enhanced
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32 capabilities.
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 Anna: Absolutely. A key part of this
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38 new satellite's sophisticated instrument
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41 package is the Copernicus Sentinel
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 5 instrument. This is crucial because
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46 it's designed to deliver critical data on air
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49 pollutants, ozone and climate related
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52 gases. Simonetta Celli,
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54 ESA's director of earth Observation
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57 Programmes, really highlighted the value of
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59 these strong partnerships in getting this
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59 done.
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01 Avery: And Phil Evans, the Director General at
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04 umitset, emphasised the real world impact.
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07 He pointed out that extreme weather has cost
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 Europe hundreds of billions of euros and tens
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12 of thousands of lives over the past 40 years.
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15 This Meetup SGA1 launch is a
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17 significant step towards giving National
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20 Weather Services sharper tools to save lives,
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 prevent, protect property and build
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 resilience against any climate changes.
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27 Anna: It certainly is. The MET Off SG mission is
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29 planned to comprise three successive pairs of
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32 satellites operating for at least the next
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35 two decades. Each pair will have an A type
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 and B type satellite carrying different but
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40 complementary instruments to capture a wide
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 range of observations. This first one,
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45 Metop SG A1
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48 is an A type and features six instruments,
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50 including that all important Sentinel 5
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51 spectrometer.
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53 Avery: Amazing how these satellites will circle
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56 Earth from pole to pole, covering the globe
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59 approximately every 24 hours, giving us
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01 highly detailed measurements from their
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04 relatively low orbital altitude. This
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06 capability, combined with Europe's
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09 geostationary meteosat series, really
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12 maximises the Effectiveness of data for
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 weather forecasting and climate analysis.
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17 It's a comprehensive approach to
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 understanding our planet's atmosphere.
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22 Anna: Next up, let's talk about United Launch
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25 Alliance. They just fired off their first
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28 fully operational Vulcan rocket, marking a
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31 significant milestone in space launches.
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32 Avery: That's right Anna.
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33 Anna: Um.
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35 Avery: This powerful View launcher successfully
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38 boosted two military satellites into space,
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41 making it the first Space Force sanctioned
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44 flight for the Vulcan. It thundered to
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45 life on Tuesday evening at
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48 8:56pm EDT from from
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51 Pad 41 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51 Station.
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54 Anna: It sounds like quite the sight. Soaring over
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57 the Atlantic with almost 3 million pounds of
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00 thrust, the 198 foot tall
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03 Vulcan is powered by two methane
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06 fueled BE4 engines and put on a
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07 spectacular skylighting show.
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09 Avery: But this launch isn't just about the
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12 spectacle. It's a major milestone for United
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15 Launch Alliance. The Vulcan is strategically
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 replacing their older rocket fleet,
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20 specifically the Atlas V which uses a Russian
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22 built first stage engine and their already
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25 retired Deltas. This has been a big push to
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27 have an all American launcher.
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30 Anna: That makes sense given the geopolitical
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33 climate. So what were the payloads
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35 on this important first Space Force mission?
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38 Avery: The mission carried at least two
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41 satellites, one classified spacecraft
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44 and a crucial experimental satellite called
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47 Navigation Technology Satellite 3
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49 or NTS3.
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52 This is the Pentagon's first experimental
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55 navigation satellite since the GPS
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58 precursors were launched in the 1970s.
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01 Anna: And what exactly is NTS3
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02 designed to do?
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05 Avery: It's designed to test upgraded atomic clocks
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 and navigation technology that could lead to
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10 much more accurate and jam proof Global
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13 Positioning System type data from for both
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 military and commercial users. Joanna
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18 Hinx, a senior aerospace engineer with the
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20 Air Force Research Laboratory, highlighted
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23 how integral GPS is to our daily lives
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26 and that NTS3 is about evolving and
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28 augmenting it to maintain its gold standard.
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31 Anna: That sounds like a significant leap forward
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33 for navigation tech. Where will this new
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35 satellite operate from?
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37 Avery: It's bound for geosynchronous orbit about
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40 22 miles above the equator.
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42 That's significantly higher than the typical
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45 GPS satellites which uh, at 12
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48 miles. This higher perch combined with an
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50 advanced phased array antenna allows it to
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53 directly electronically direct signals to
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54 receivers across broad regions.
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58 Anna: So the Vulcan is designed specifically
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01 for these high altitude specialised missions?
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04 Avery: Precisely. ULA President and CEO Tory
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07 Bruno explicitly stated that the Vulcan was
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09 purposely designed to support these missions.
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12 Doing direct inject to geo for the Space
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14 Force. He highlighted its capability to
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17 launch heavy payloads directly to high orbits
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19 without requiring the satellites to use their
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21 own limited propellant for transit.
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24 Essentially saying one core is cheaper and
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27 more efficient than three expendable cores
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28 from other heavy launch vehicles.
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 Anna: That's a direct challenge to the competition.
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34 What does this mean for ULA's future launch
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35 schedule?
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38 Avery: ULA is really ramping up. They're expanding
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40 their ground infrastructure and expect to
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42 launch nine flights in 2025 and
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44 aiming for a cadence of two per month by the
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47 end of the year. For 2026, they project
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50 between 20 to 25 flights. So the Vulcan
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52 is set for a, uh, busy operational future.
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55 Shifting our gaze from launches to deep space
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56 with a follow up to one of our stories from
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59 yesterday's episode. There's a fascinating
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01 proposal on the table that could see NASA's
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04 Juno spacecraft intercepting the third
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06 interstellar object ever detected.
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09 Anna: That's incredibly exciting. Avery,
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12 you're talking about Comet 3I Atlas, right?
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15 It was just detected on July 1, 2025
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18 by the Atlas system in Rio Hurtado,
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21 becoming only the third interstellar visitor
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24 we've ever observed. After Oumuamua and
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25 2i Borisov.
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28 Avery: Exactly. And the exciting part is the
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30 proposal from a team led by Professor Abraham
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 Lueb of Harvard University, along with
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36 Adam Hibbard and Adam Krall to use our
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38 existing Juno probe. The their analysis
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41 suggests Juno could intercept 3i Atlas once
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44 it approaches Jupiter on March 16,
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47 2026, offering us an unprecedented
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49 close look at one of the universe's most
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51 enigmatic objects.
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54 Anna: That's a truly rare opportunity. It
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56 highlights the serendipitous nature of these
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59 celestial encounters, especially since it's
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02 practically infeasible to launch a dedicated
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04 mission from Earth to catch three Eye Atlas.
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06 Given how little warning we had of its
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09 arrival. The fact that it happens to pass so
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11 close to multiple planets like Mars, Jupiter
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14 and Venus is a strange coincidence.
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16 Avery: Indeed, it really is. The scientific value of
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19 such an encounter would be immense. Studying
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21 interstellar objects as they pass through our
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24 solar system offers a unique window into
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27 the conditions present in other star systems.
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29 Without us needing to send a spacecraft all
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31 the way there. It's like getting a cosmic
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32 sample delivery.
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34 Anna: And this isn't just about understanding other
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37 star systems. Professor Loeb, who became
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39 quite well known for his hypothesis
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42 hypothesis that Oumuamua might have been
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 an extraterrestrial spacecraft, has
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47 also explored the controversial possibility
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50 that 3i Atlas could be an
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53 artificial object. While they don't
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56 necessarily subscribe to it themselves, they
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58 argue that it's a hypothesis worthy of
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01 scientific analysis. Given its potential
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03 implications, that definitely adds.
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06 Avery: Another layer of intrigue to the mission. The
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09 proposal outlines how a ah, Jupiter Oberth
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11 manoeuvre involving Specific thrust
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13 applications in September 2025
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17 could shift Juno from its current orbit to
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19 intercept 3I ATLAS near Jupiter
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22 on March 14, 2026.
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24 If successful, this would not only provide
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27 invaluable data, but also rejuvenate
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30 Juno's mission and extend its scientific
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32 lifespan beyond its originally intended
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33 termination.
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36 Anna: A win win, then. Juno's suite of instruments,
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38 including its Near Infrared spectrometer,
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41 magnetometer and visible light camera, would
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44 be perfect to probe the object's
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46 composition, delivering data that could
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48 address fundamental questions about its
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51 origin and nature. Even if recent
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54 Hubble images suggest its nucleus is
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56 smaller than initially thought for a
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58 technological artefact, the insights we'd
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01 gain about what lies beyond our solar system
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03 would be absolutely fascinating.
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07 From looking out into the cosmos and beyond,
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10 let's bring it back closer to home, or at
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12 least closer to the idea of future homes for
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15 humanity. NASA and Google are teaming up
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18 on an incredibly innovative project. An
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21 AI medical assistant for astronauts headed
00:10:21 --> 00:10:21 to Mars.
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24 Avery: That's right, Anna. As space missions get
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26 longer and further from Earth, keeping crews
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29 healthy becomes a massive challenge. Think
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32 about it. Astronauts on the ISS have real
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34 time communication with Houston, regular
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36 cargo deliveries of medicine, and can be home
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39 in a pinch. None of that will be true for a
00:10:39 --> 00:10:39 Mars mission.
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43 Anna: Exactly. This push for Earth independent
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45 medical care is leading to some fascinating
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48 developments. This new tool is called the
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50 Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant,
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53 or cmoda, and it's a proof of
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56 concept AI designed to help astronauts
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59 diagnose and treat symptoms when a doctor
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02 isn't available or communications with Earth
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03 are blacked out.
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05 Avery: It's a multimodal tool, meaning it
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08 incorporates speech, text and images. And it
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11 runs within Google Cloud's Vertex AI
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13 environment. NASA actually owns the source
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15 code and has helped fine tune the models,
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18 utilising Google's platform, which provides
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19 access to various models.
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22 Anna: They've put CMODA through some initial
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25 tests too, simulating scenarios like an
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28 ankle injury, flank pain and ear pain.
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 Uh, A trio of physicians, including an
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33 astronaut, graded its performance and
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35 the results were impressive.
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37 Avery: They found a high degree of diagnostic
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40 accuracy with the flank pain evaluation and
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43 treatment plan judged 74% likely
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45 correct ear pain at 80% and an
00:11:45 --> 00:11:48 impressive 88% for the ankle injury.
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51 Anna: The plan is to gradually expand its
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54 capabilities, adding more data sources like
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56 medical devices, and training the model to be
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59 situationally aware of specific space
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02 medicine conditions, such as microgravity.
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05 Avery: While it's primarily for astronauts, the
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07 potential for this technology to extend to
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09 medical applications here on Earth is huge.
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12 As Google's David Crueley mentioned, the
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13 lessons learned from this tool could have
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16 wide applicability to other areas of health,
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18 especially in remote or underserved areas.
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20 It's a perfect example of how space
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22 technology often finds its way back to
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24 benefit us on our home planet.
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26 Anna: And that brings us to the end of another
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29 fascinating episode of Astronomy Daily.
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31 What an incredible array of advancements
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32 we've covered today.
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35 Avery: Absolutely, Anna. Um, From Europe ushering in
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37 a new era of weather and climate monitoring
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40 with the Metop second generation satellite to
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43 ULA's Vulcan rocket launching its first Space
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45 Force mission, it's clear innovation is
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46 booming.
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48 Anna: And let's not forget the thrilling
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51 possibility of NASA's Juno
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53 spacecraft intercepting the interstellar
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56 comet. Three I ATLs
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00 offering us an unprecedented look at an
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02 object from beyond our solar system.
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05 Avery: Plus, the groundbreaking work NASA and Google
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08 are doing with the AI Medical Assistant
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12 is paving the way for safer, healthier,
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15 long duration missions to Mars. It really
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17 shows how space exploration pushes the
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20 boundaries of technology in all fields.
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23 Anna: It truly does. We hope you have enjoyed
