🇻🇪🇷🇺Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, announced this Sunday that they plan to set up a measurement station for their Glonass satellite navigation system, analogous to the American GPS, the European Galileo and the Chinese BeiDou, in Venezuelan territory.

The facility, Roscosmos said in a statement, will ensure safe navigation for consumers using pinpoint positioning technology.

🇹🇳🗳📃 — 🇹🇷🐺 TRT World: Tunisians are voting in a referendum on the president's new constitution, which will expand his powers

🇹🇳🗳📃 — 🇬🇧🌹 The Guardian: Tunisians set to hand president almost total power in referendum
— "Tunisians were on Monday expected to approve giving the president unfettered powers, ending the country’s stumbles towards democratic rule and capping the turbulent decade across the region known as the Arab spring.

As voters trickled to the polls for the referendum, the country that birthed the revolts that rocked the Middle East seemed resigned to a return to pre-revolution autocracy, with a declining economy and political sclerosis sounding the death knell for hopes of widespread reform and free elections that would empower citizens.

President Kais Saied is now likely to cement a new constitution that gives him more control over a country he has ruled by decree since suspending parliament and installing emergency rule a year ago."

🇺🇸🐒🦠 — 🇺🇸🗞 NBC News: Monkeypox is being driven overwhelmingly by sex between men, major study finds
— "The global monkeypox outbreak is primarily being driven by sex between men, according to the first major peer-reviewed paper to analyze a large set of cases of the virus.

The outbreak, which epidemiologists believe initially began in mid-spring gatherings of gay and bisexual men in Europe, has since alarmed such experts by ballooning to nearly 16,000 cases worldwide.

Now infectious disease specialists are developing an increasingly refined understanding of the predominant conduits of monkeypox transmission, as well as the typical disease course patterns.

The study authors reported that 95% of the cases were likely transmitted through sexual close contact. What’s more, their paper offers strong new evidence that anal sex itself, although not necessarily ejaculation, is a major source of transmission.

“The finding that 95% of cases may have been transmitted during sex provides reassurance that this outbreak is primarily caused by very close contact and may explain why it’s been largely limited, so far, to dense social networks of men who have sex with men,” said Dr. Jay K. Varma, an infectious disease expert at Weill Cornell Medicine."

🇷🇺 🚀 Russia will withdraw from the International Space Station project after 2024 and focus on building its own station. | Tribute

MOSCOW — Russia will pull out of the International Space Station after 2024 and focus on building its own orbiting outpost, the country’s new space chief said Tuesday amid high tensions between Moscow and the West over the fighting in Ukraine.

Moscow and Washington cooperated in space even at the height of the Cold War, when Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft docked in orbit in 1975 in the first crewed international space mission, helping improve U.S.-Soviet relations.

With Elon Musk’s SpaceX company now flying NASA astronauts to and from the space station, the Russian Space Agency lost a major source of income. For years, NASA had been paying tens of millions of dollars per seat for rides to and from the station aboard Russian rockets.

NASA has been working with U.S. companies on establishing their own private space stations to eventually replace the International Space Station.

🇺🇸 🚀 The launch of Artemis I is right around the corner.

ABOUT THE MISSION -

Artemis I

All eyes will be on the historic Launch Complex 39B when the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lift off for the first time from NASA's modernized Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a long-term human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

The primary goals for Artemis I are to demonstrate Orion’s systems in a spaceflight environment and ensure a safe re-entry, descent, splashdown, and recovery prior to the first flight with crew on Artemis II.

Mission Facts:

Total distance traveled: 1.3 miIlion miles

Mission duration: 4 to 6 weeks

Re-entry speed: 24,500 mph (Mach 32)

CubeSats: 10
