There are plenty of engineering challenges facing space exploration missions, most of which are specific to their missions objectives. However, there are some that are more universal, especially regarding electronics.
Astronomers have found a young star bathing a planet in intense X-ray radiation, wearing it away at a rapid rate. The planet is Jupiter-sized and orbits its red dwarf star
The JWST has pushed the boundaries of exoplanet characterization. But one thing it hasn’t done yet is to determine if rocky exoplanets close to our Solar System can retain their
