NASA and ESA astronauts protagonize (rare) all-female spacewalk

SAPO Notícias1 September 2026 at 23:31

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and Sophie Adenot from the European Space Agency (ESA) made history by carrying out an exclusively female spacewalk at the International Space Station (ISS). The mission lasted more than six hours and represented a rare milestone in space exploration.

With this spacewalk, the total number of spacewalks carried out exclusively by female teams rises to six. This fact makes the event particularly significant in the context of female representation at NASA and ESA.

During the mission, the two astronauts carried out various maintenance tasks on the ISS, contributing to the continuity of the orbital station's operation. The work carried out reinforces the importance of female presence in technically demanding space missions.

State of Rio loses more than half of treated water in distribution, and seminar debates new technologies to reduce waste

The state of Rio de Janeiro loses more than half of treated water during distribution, with 50.53% of waste according to data from Instituto Trata Brasil, an index higher than the national average of 39.53%. The 5th edition of the SANEARio seminar will debate on Wednesday technologies and innovations to reduce losses in supply systems, bringing together specialists, utilities, government and universities. The event takes place in a context of national paradox: while 34 million Brazilians still do not have access to treated water, about 40% of production is lost before reaching consumers.

Humanoid robots: "It's going to be much faster than people think"

In less than ten years, humanoid-shaped robots could be working in hotels, bars, hospitals and even in private homes, according to experts in the field. Luís Paulo Reis, a researcher at the University of Porto, believes the technology will be ready in a three-year window. China leads the investment in this sector, but it is not alone in this technological race.
