generation of vaccines
The success of mRNA vaccines against Covid-19 has positively influenced the advancement of the development of new types of immunization with the same technology. From this, diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, genital herpes, HIV, cystic fibrosis, cancer and various types of lung diseases are being studied.
Cancer mRNA vaccines hold the most promise, as vaccines are being designed to recognize cancer cells and destroy them. Finally, another advance that is being analyzed is the possibility of applying the vaccine against Covid-19 through a simple nasal spray, quickly and effectively.
This has already been tested on animals, so human testing will happen soon.
See just two of the key developments expected in 2023 for space.
advanced spatial observation
The James Webb Space Telescope, an instrument launched by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency, left the whole world delighted with the new images of the universe.
In 2023 ESA plans to launch the Euclid telescope, which will remain in solar orbit for about six years to create a 3D map of the entire universe. In addition, in Chile, the Vera C. Rubin plans to take more images in July, with a camera that has a detection power of more than 3 billion pixels.
missions to the moon
The NASA program that sent the Orion capsule to the moon without a crew and successfully returned to Earth in December, called Artemis, is just the beginning of this space journey. On December 11, the United Arab Emirates launched its Rashid lunar rover, which is programmed to investigate the surface of our natural satellite.
In addition, one of the most anticipated missions for this year will be the first civil flight to the moon. It will have eleven people who will make a trip six days aboard Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship rocket.
