Historical Discovery: Mercury Does Indeed Have Electron Radiation BeltsAn international team of researchers, including a scientist from ISAE-SUPAERO, has just published a study in the journal "Nature Astronomy" revealing the existence of electron radiation belts around Mercury. This discovery, based on an analysis of data from the MESSENGER mission and supported by previously unpublished observations from the BepiColombo mission’s MEA (Mercury Electron Analyzer) instrument, sheds new light on the physics of planetary magnetospheres and raises major challenges for the protection of space missions.

The Age of Pioneers: Reinventing Aviation with HydrogenFor the past ten years at ISAE-SUPAERO, research into hydrogen has established itself as a major focus of innovation in support of the aviation sector’s energy transition. Now, more than ever, the pioneering spirit drives the Institute’s researchers. The Mermoz hydrogen-powered drone project builds on the legendary legacy of the Aéropostale and Jean Mermoz’s 1930 flight across the South Atlantic. Almost a century later, "Défi Mermoz" is in turn taking up a technological challenge, closely aligned with industrial priorities, without waiting until 2050!
