N A JOINT op-ed in
the Norwegian newspaper Aftonbladet, Nicolai Wammen, the defence
minister, and his Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and
Icelandic counterparts have
announced strengthened cooperation between the Nordic countries in the face of an
increased threat from Russia.
“Russia’s leaders have
shown they are prepared to
make practical and effective use of military means
in order to reach their political goals, even when this
involves violating principles
of international law,” the
ministers wrote.
“There is increasing military and intelligence activity in the Baltics and in our
northern areas. The Russian
military is challenging us
along our borders and there
have been border infringements in the Baltics. The
Nordic countries meet this
situation with solidarity.”
The declaration outlines
concrete areas of co-operation including more joint
exercises, joint industrial
co-operation, the exchange
of intelligence information
and joint processing of digital data.

Danes contribute to Mars O2 project

researchers from the Niels
Bohr Institute at the
University of Copenhagen
and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) are
among a team working on
a machine that in six years
time will produce oxygen
on Mars as a step to paving
the way for humankind’s exploration of the Red Planet.
Morten Bo Madsen leads
the Mars group at the Niels
Bohr Institute that is working on the technology for
the Mars 2020 mission.

“We are building a little instrument that will produce
oxygen on Mars,” he told
Videnskab.dk.
“It will act as a prototype
for a much bigger plant that
will provide astronauts with
oxygen in the future.”
The project is known as
MOXIE (Mars oxygen in
situ resource utilisation experiment) and will use as its
starting point the plentiful
CO2 in the Martian atmosphere. “MOXIE works as
a kind of reverse fuel cell,”
Madsen explained.
