A mission is to be launched into space with brewing equipment aboard to make sake in orbit.
And it could one day lead to the alcoholic drink being made on the Moon.
The space brewing equipment has been jointly developed for the mission, being launched by Japan space agency JAXA by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and saki company Dassai.
The items are due to be transported to the International Space Station using a new Japanese-built unmanned cargo transfer spacecraft called HTV-X.
The brewing experiment, called the Dassai Moon Project, will be conducted by current Japanese space station astronaut Kimiya Yui.
A JAXA spokesman said: “The Japanese-led mission aims to brew sake in space for the first time in the history of humanity.”
The launch was due to take place on October 21, 2025 but has been postponed because of poor weather.
The sake project to build a brewery on the lunar surface was conceived in 2024 by Dassai with the aim of improving quality of life on the Moon in future.

A plan to put the world’s first fully function film and TV studio into space , has been announced.It would mean movies about astronauts for example could be filmed in genuine weightlessness rather than relying on studio effects.Called SEE-1 is planned to launch in late 2024 and dock with the International Space Station on orbit around Earth.The module will allow artists, producers, and creatives to develop, produce, record, and live stream content from space.The idea is to maximize the space station’s low-orbit micro-gravity environment for films, television, music and sports events.The inflatable module design provides for around six meters diameter of unobstructed pressurized volume, which can be adapted to a range of activities.These include an onboard state-of-the-art media production capability that will capture and convey the experience of weightlessness with breathtaking impact.The project is being developed by London based Space Entertainment Enterprise .The company was co-founded by film producers Elena and Dmitry Lesnevsky, who are planning the first ever Hollywood motion picture filmed in outer space.

Russian Node Module arrives
On Friday 26 November, astronauts on board the International Space Station welcomed the final Russian module, Prichal, This Node Module provides additional docking ports for Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov oversaw it's docking to the Russian segment.
ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer, who's currently aboard the International Space Station during his Cosmic Kiss mission, took this picture of the module and shared it on his social media channels.

Cosmic pearl
It can be hard to appreciate that a human-made, football-pitch-sized spacecraft is orbiting 400 km above our heads, but there it is.
The jewel of human cooperation and ingenuity that is the International Space Station shines brightly in this image captured by ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet from the SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour.
Crew-2 got these amazing views during a flyaround of the orbiting lab after undocking from the Harmony module on 8 November, before their return to Earth.
Since this image was taken, there has even been a new addition in the form of the Russian Node Module, known as Prichal. The final Russian module planned for the Station, it is a spherical node attached to the Russian segment with six docking ports for future Progress and Soyuz arrivals.
A collaboration between five space agencies, the Station has become a symbol of peaceful international cooperation for 23 years now. It represents the best of our space engineering capabilities as well as humankind’s pursuit of scientific knowledge and exploration.
By any standards, it is an incredible piece of spacecraft engineering. Weighing 420 tonnes, it travels in low-Earth orbit at more than 27 000 km/hour, circling Earth approximately 16 times every day.
Crew members conduct scientific research in microgravity at facilities such as ESA’s Columbus module. Some of these experiments and tests are preparing the way for human exploration of the Moon and beyond. But the Station also provides a unique view of Earth, while its science benefits life on our planet.
Current ESA astronaut in residence is Matthias Maurer, a first-time flier spending around six-months in orbit for his Cosmic Kiss mission. Matthias will continue to support a wide range of European and international science experiments and technological research on the Station before handing off to the next ESA astronaut to fly, Samantha Cristoforetti.

Dinner for ten
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet and the rest of the International Space Station crew having dinner.
Thomas shared this image on his social media channels with the caption: "Dinner with everybody. Our new crewmembers Klim and Yulia work all day to shoot scenes for their movie, and our cosmonaut friends help them out a lot. I canÕt wait to see the final product! The tradition of our very special ship is to dine all together at least once a week, and itÕs fun to see new faces and hear new stories after five months in our small family. Kind of a warm-up round for resuming social life on Earth in a few weeks!"

Space men at work.
If you are spacewalking and you know it, raise your hand.
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet (left) and JAXA astronaut Aki Hoshide (right) performed a spacewalk on Sunday 12 September to prepare another section of the International Space Station for its solar panel upgrade.
The new solar arrays, called IROSA or ISS Roll-Out Solar Array, are being gradually installed over the existing arrays to boost the International Space StationÕs power system.
Thomas and NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough prepared and installed two IROSA solar panels across three spacewalks in June. The arrays were taken from their storage area outside the Space Station and passed from spacewalker to spacewalker to the worksite. There the rolled arrays were secured, unfolded, connected and then unfurled.
Aki and Thomas prepared the P4 truss for its IROSA installation. This is the same area as where Thomas and Shane installed two IROSAÕs but closer to the main body of the Space Station, in an area called the 4A channel. Only one new solar array will be installed here, on a later spacewalk.
While SundayÕs extravehicular activity or EVA was already the fourth spacewalk during ThomasÕ Alpha mission, it was his first with Aki and the first time a spacewalking pair did not feature a US or Russian astronaut.
Aki and Thomas made good time preparing the 4A channel for the next IROSA and were able to complete a second task to replace a floating potential measurement unit that was faulty. This unit measures the difference between the Space StationÕs conductive structures and the atmospheric plasma.
Thomas and Aki completed their spacewalk in six hours and 54 minutes, which hands Thomas the ESA record for longest time spent spacewalking.
How did he celebrate? With ice cream!

Feeding tardigrades.
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet captured feeding tardigrades in one of the International Space Station experiments.
Thomas shared this image on his social media channels with the caption: "Researchers are investigating the effects of microgravity on these microscopic creatures, also known as water bears, through an experiment called Cell Science 4. Did you know the largest tardigrade species is just over 1mm in length and they're incredibly hardy Ð surviving extreme environments in space and on Earth. In this case, researchers want to characterise the genes that allow tardigrades to survive during short and long periods in space, then assess how the use of these genes changes across generations. Maybe we can harness their secrets!"Credit: ESA / eyevine
