Description:
European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and technology for future moon landings as part of the NASA-led Artemis missions. <br/><br/>The moon is a strange little world. Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet's companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than the parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon's surface feels as if he or she only weighs one sixth of their earthly weight. The same goes for all equipment the astronauts would use. It may sound like no big deal but this feeble gravitational pull creates all sorts of unforeseen problems that are difficult to prepare for in research labs on Earth. There is, however, one way to experience lunar gravity while still in the confines of Earth and explore these challenges before going to the moon: in a parabolic flight.<br/><br/>Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: European Space Agency/Novespace/NASA<br/>A Future Studios Production

_the-new-mini-countryman-electric-production-line.webp "Electrification continues at BMW Group Plant Leipzig: Four months after launching production of the combustion-engined MINI Countryman, the all-electric version is now rolling off the lines at Leipzig as well. After phasing out production of the BMW i3, the birthplace of electric mobility at the BMW Group has welcomed another fully electric car to its range. It now manufactures four models with three drive types by two brands, all on a single production line: the BMW 1 Series, the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (including the plug-in hybrid version), the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and the MINI Countryman in both its fully electric and combustion-powered versions.<br/><br/>The MINI Countryman Electric represents a major step in the MINI brand’s transition to full electrification by 2030 and combines an electrified go-kart feel with zero local emissions mobility. It comes in two fully electric variants: the Countryman E and the more powerful all-wheel Countryman SE ALL4.")
_the-new-toyota-yaris-cross-trailer.webp "Update for the bestseller: Toyota is continuing to expand the qualities of the Yaris Cross and improving the compact SUV in all areas that have already earned it the title “World Urban Car of the Year 2022” in its first year of sales. Since then, the Yaris Cross has become the best-selling Toyota model in Europe. Around 200,000 units were sold across Europe in 2023 alone. The city SUV is also one of the brand's top sellers in Germany.<br/><br/>The new Yaris Cross, rolling off the production line at Toyota Motor Manufacturing France, continues the success of the Yaris, which has enjoyed great market popularity for over 25 years. The revised Yaris Cross can already be ordered in Germany. The first vehicles will be delivered to customers in May 2024.<br/><br/>Toyota has not only improved power, performance and choice of hybrid drive and expanded the range of active safety and driver assistance systems, but has also comprehensively upgraded the Yaris Cross in digital terms. This includes an individually customizable instrument display and a more powerful multimedia system with convenient and stable connectivity and user-friendly operation.<br/><br/>Toyota assumes that between 2024 and 2026 around 80 percent of vehicles in the European B segment will not have a battery-electric drive. This corresponds to an annual sales volume of around four million units.")
