The interplanetary internet has been used by an astronaut at the International Space Station (ISS) to send commands to a robot on Earth. The experimental technology, called Disruption-Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocol, could be a future way to communicate with astronauts on Mars. Currently, if there is a problem when data is sent between Earth and Mars rovers, information can be lost.

Engineers are battling to save the European Space Agency’s (Esa) flagship Earth observation mission – Envisat.
Controllers say the eight-tonne spacecraft appears to be in a stable condition, but they are not receiving any data at all from it.
Contact was lost with Envisat at the weekend shortly after it downloaded pictures of Spain’s Canary Islands.

Nasa’s new Mars rover has returned its first 360-degree colour panorama from the surface of the Red Planet. The Curiosity robot used its wideangle science camera placed high up on a mast to acquire the frames.
The low-resolution vista shows at centre the big mountain that lies in the middle of Gale Crater, the deep depression in which the rover landed.

When the police catch up with paedophiles, they can be sure of one thing – they will find lots and lots of images and videos. A signature trait they share is the collecting and curating of a large store of images of children being sexually and physically abused.

Technology can help analyse images but sometimes
people are better
