It is a choice ingredient of films depicting future exploration of the cosmos – for most of us, the stuff of sci-fi. However, Angelique Van Ombergen, head of life sciences at the European Space Agency (ESA), makes it clear: "While for many people hibernation is science fiction, our approach is truly scientific."

War in space: U.S. officials debating rules for a conflict in orbit
Ukraine's use of commercial satellites to help repel the Russian invasion has bolstered the U.S. Space Force's interest in exploiting the capabilities of the private sector to develop new technologies for fighting a war in space. But the possible reliance on private companies, and the revolution in technology that has made satellites smaller and more powerful, is forcing the Defense Department to wrestle with difficult questions about what to do if those privately owned satellites are targeted by an adversary.
