Grief hangs heavy over Gaza as the death toll continues to rise and devastation mounts.
In just 24 hours, 39 Palestinians were killed and 317 more were injured.

R&D Successes Onboard Biomass
For any space mission to launch, thousands of hours must have been spent iterating new technologies to make the spacecraft fly. The Biomass satellite, which today shared its first science data, is no exception.
