Researchers at ISAE-SUPAERO have been awarded the Newcomb Cleveland Prize for their article ‘Seismic detection of the Martian core’ published in the journal Science!

The Newcomb Cleveland Prize is awarded once a year to an “outstanding” article published in the journal Science during the previous year. The winning article is chosen on the basis of the quality of the research, innovation, the likelihood of influencing the field of research and the interdisciplinary importance of the article.

"From the reflections of seismic waves on the boundary between the core and mantle of Mars, the team was able to determine that Mars has a large core. A large core implies a mantle that is mineralogically similar to Earth's upper mantle and transition zone. However, Mars differs from Earth in terms of its core. The Martian core is much less dense, implying that a number of light elements such as oxygen and sulphur are dissolved in the iron and nickel core. This observation is difficult to reconcile with conventional models of planet formation.

"We will receive 25,000 dollars, which we have decided to donate to Médecins sans Frontières, to help the victims of the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria."

Orbit Your Thesis: ISAE-SUPAERO in zero gravity with the AIM experiment

Artery In Microgravity (#AIM), the first student scientific experiment designed and developed in collaboration since 2018 by ISAE-SUPAERO and Polytechnique Turin, was launched on 23 November 2022 by Space X's Dragon cargo ship to the International Space Station (ISS)! Selected by the ESA as part of its ‘Orbit your thesis’ programme, AIM aims to study the behaviour of the heart and its arteries in space, in order to determine whether people with heart problems will one day be able to stay there.
