The commercial space flight companies are edging closer and closer to flight readiness. Paying customers will soon be launching into space; tourists and their money is thought to be a major step forward into space and beyond. Blue Origi flight tests have been a great success and may launch commercial flights as soon as year’s end. Virgin Galactic is also smashing mile stones towards flight certification. SpaceX and its Manned Dragon capsule in direct competition with Boeings moves closer to an ISS taxi service.

New Frontier Episode 16

NASA’S Parker Solar Probe Mission is on its way and will be shortly followed by Europe’s Solar probe Mission. No spacecraft have traveled so fast or so close to a star before. It is hoped to reveal the source of the solar winds that effect us here on Earth.

New Frontier Episode 15

New satellites are being launched to continue detailed observations of Earth and its oceans an ice caps, They are finding that climate change is accelerating and they have the data to prove it.

New Frontier Episode 14

Perhaps that American politician was right. There are indeed things we know we don’t know. For instance, cosmologically speaking, we know we don’t know much and certainly not nearly enough – about two of the enduring mysteries of the Universe. Dark Matter and Dark Energy, it’s little wonder that scientists are devoting so much grey matter and energy of their own to finding out as much as they can.

New Frontier Episode 13

Stars are a bit like human beings. They can be warm or cold, they come in all kinds of shapes and sizes... and, let’s face it, they can be dim or bright. And recent discoveries suggest that the number of stars in our galaxy alone, the Milky Way, may exceed 200 billion. Just what are these citizens of the night sky?

New Frontier Episode 12

Launching payloads into space is a very difficult task, historically rocket launches are the proverbial 'swords into ploughshares' Missiles designed to carry atomic warheads now send satellites and probes into the solar system. Ironically it's one of the few exploits Mankind undertakes that doesn't occur in nature.

New Frontier Episode 11

The night sky is a time machine. The further we look out into the universe the further back in time we reach. What we see in the night sky is only a small percentage of the contents of the Universe, most is dark matter and dark energy we know it exists; however its nature eludes us for the moment.

New Frontier Episode 10

As scientists and astronomers peer closer at nearby stars with ever more fidelity they are discovering planets; exo planets, worlds outside our own solar system. With technological advances and improved techniques scientists are discovering more and more worlds every day. With confidence scientists now calculated there could be as many as 40 billion Earth like planets in our Milky Way galaxy alone.

New Frontier Episode 9

It powers the machinery of nature; our weather, encourages and sustains life on land and at sea. When it sets in the West it reveals to us its many billions of sibling stars populating the night sky. We study our Sun closely, and like a Rosetta stone it can reveal the secrets of all the other stars above.

New Frontier Episode 8

These are the the Moon's of the gas giants. Each a unique and mysterious world of its own. Some have oceans of water, geysers of Sulphur or atmospheres of plastic. Some are just now being seen at the outer rim of our solar system, all are worthy of much more scrutiny.

New Frontier Episode 7

Beyond the asteroid belt lay the ice giants, some can be seen with the naked eye, others only glimpsed once by a passing probe. We are again sending cameras to the edge of the solar system giving us new insights into the evolution of our worlds.

New Frontier Episode 6

From the beginnings of our Solar System four and half billion years ago there remains tantalizing clues to its evolution; remnent debris: asteroids and comets. They vary in size from grains of dust
to mountain sides, footballs to planetoids. They were the buildin blocks of the planets and perhaps carry the origins of life itself.
Now within our grasp these rocks of ice and dust are ready to give up their secrets.

New Frontier Episode 5

It has fired our imaginations for millennia, Mars, the God of War and the source of Man's science fictional demise. We know the dry barren planet was once flowing with vast reservoirs of water, the sky thick and filled with clouds and the tantalizing possibility of life. It is the only other place in our solar system than Man might one day call home.

New Frontier Episode 4

They orbit between us and our Star, the inner worlds; hidden within the sun's glare often only visible at sunrise or sunset. Venus the first and brightest star in the evening sky, and Mercury fleeting across the solar disk. They are half of our solar system's terrestrial planets yet we know so little. As we begin to take a closer look at our companions they are posing more questions than answers.

New Frontier Episode 3

The Moon, our closest celestial companion. Our indispensible dance partner through the cosmos. Lighting our night sky and gently tugging at our shores. Few have walked on her surface, though he allure remains strong, once again we are glancing her way with renewed interest and with a view to return very soon.

New Frontier Episode 2

Series introduction and the study of Earth from orbit. The sky above is littered with stars and countless galaxies. It is where we come from and where we are destined to return. The first phase of this journey is complete, now commences the second, with robotics, advanced technologies and sheer daring we are now going where before we only dreamt.
