MultiPlanet University

Join us at the Aerospace Networking Social at AIAA ASCENDx 🚀🛰️Houston Thursday, Feb 26th at
Chelsea Wine Bar, Houston TX.

We look forward to participating at AIAA ASCENDx 2026 alongside exhibitors NASA, JSC, SpaceX, Blue, Axiom, and many others to Advance Space Science and Exploration.

We were glad to participate at NASA core Flight System (cFS) Symposium 2026 alongside hundreds of leading researchers and engineers.

cFS26 will be an important part of Flight z software Engineering (FSEO) Course going forward with dozens of leading lecturers and to help realize near term planetary science space mission.

Hosted at LMI HQ, huge thanks to GSFC Software team and many speakers on important work to support many deep space/PSD missions (I.e Orion,Gateway, DAVINCI, Artemis), we’re up to speed with NASA Flight software standards, from MOOG, APL, to FSW, PCB Microprocessors.L, and

Join us during Planetary Science Summit (PSS) 5pm ET Thurs Jan 8 with colleagues in industry,NASA, government to advance R&D,Missions,and discussions.

Chinese astronauts 👩🏽‍🚀successfully synthesized Oxygen and Rocket Fuel with Artificial Photosynthesis In Orbit.

While Chinese 🇨🇳 researchers explores extraterrestrial artificial photosynthesis back in 2015, seeing it work in orbit is a milestone on Tiangong space station.

This is a crucial improvement because it slashes the massive energy demands usually associated with high-temperature or high-pressure chemical synthesis as the ISS uses a third of its energy reserved for ECLISS & Oxygen production.

By tweaking the catalyst, researchers can produce other valuable compounds, such as methane or formic acid, which could serve as precursors for fuels or even sugars.

Process demonstrated control over gas and liquid flows in microgravity, a difficult feat for future space-based manufacturing.
