After months of work in the NASA Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students (SUITS) challenge, more than 100 students from 12 universities across the United States traveled to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to showcase potential user interface designs for future generations of spacesuits and rovers. NASA Johnson’s simulated Moon and Mars surface, called “the rock yard,” became the students’ testing ground as they braved the humid nights and abundance of mosquitoes to put their innovative designs to the test. Geraldo Cisneros, the tech team lead, said, “This year’s SUITS challenge was a complete success. It provided a unique opportunity for NASA to evaluate the software designs and tools developed by the student teams, and to explore how similar innovations could contribute to future, human-centered Artemis missions. My favorite part of the challenge was watching how...

The government said on Monday the tendering process of two plots of land in the New Territories has been suspended, in a bid to speed up the development of the Northern Metropolis.

The other site, an 8-hectare plot in Hung Shui Kiu, will be included in a study by the bureau looking into the possibility of creating a 15-hectare industrial park to be operated and managed by a government-owned company. The study is expected to be completed this year. The two sites were put out to tender in 2024, and the tender deadline is Friday. "After considering the opinions of the innovation and technology as well as the logistics...
