The biggest space missions of 2021 (and their chances of success)
Several space missions in 2020 suffered delays. In 2021 the calendar is full of events: someone will go swimmingly, someone else who knows. Here they are.

The Transit Tech Lab identifies and tests new technologies around the world. Among the 8 selected this year, here are the 5 that could transform the fight against covid-19 on public transport
A direct fusion engine being studied between Princeton and Turin can reduce the duration of a space trip, and exploit other advantages.
Air pollution: a scourge for the environment and our health. Here are 15 projects, technologies and initiatives that aim to break it down. Forever.
The technologies to obtain transparent solar panels are making great strides, and will soon power cities in the most disparate ways and points.
You pull a string for a minute and you get more than two hours of light. Deciwatt Nowlight is a terrific alternative to the dangerous and polluting kerosene lamps used in developing countries.
Half the Sahara desert and a bit of Australia with panels that reject heat? Extreme idea. But radiative cooling is theoretically possible.
This is the question of the century: when will we return to normal? Here are all the scenarios (and sub-scenarios) of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Earth, the solar system, the entire Milky Way and thousands of other nearby galaxies would be in a vast "bubble" with a diameter of 250 million light years.
In the world, the ants that we are never stop. Here is a small atlas of innovations that together will make the shape of the future.
The largest study of the composition of exoplanets reveals a surprising reality: water on other planets is practically everywhere. Cambridge revolutionizes the search for extraterrestrial life
Thanks to LEDs, Beko's Harvest Fresh technology better preserves fruit and vegetables in a bright "Matrix" that makes them feel like they are still outdoors.
In just 10 years we will see 2 missions in search of life on Europe, one of the most habitable places in the solar system beyond Earth (except on Saturday evening).
What are the long-term predictions for humanity, whether it will survive (a very) long time? 6 problems to face in the very, very distant future.
For those who still wonder what served to go to the Moon, here are 10 pieces of modern technology born directly from the Apollo mission.
Dragonfly will land near Titan's equator, among dunes apparently composed of layers of solid hydrocarbons. It will be powered by plutonium like the Martian rovers, and with its eight rotors it will be able to cover much more distance than any space predecessor.
BioSentinel is one of 13 projects planned as part of the Artemis 1 mission scheduled for mid-2020. 47 years after the last launch of living organisms (Apollo 17, which reached the Moon in December 1972).
The gigantic energy of americium and plutonium allows a range of otherwise unreachable space missions: the UK advances rapidly in this direction.
Elon Musk is serious, and promises to bring people to Mars by 2018. Very little, if we consider that there are less than two years left. Elon Musk, after creating the space travel company SpaceX, once declared that he wanted to die on Mars: is his dream about to come true? Details of the program are expected to be revealed by Musk himself at the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico in September. The announcement is part of a larger project… Read more
