this actually the raw material we use building the solar voyager. collected by children from the primary school. we called it "urban mining". they sort it, the waste plastics, on types, and they have cleaned it and made these chips out of it. what you see is that they are starting to feel more attached with the material, because they do not see it as waste, they see it as raw material for building the solar, for instance. the plastic shreds are melted into a filament for a 3—d printer. 30 of these have been working continuously for six weeks to produce a ii,000—piece of plastic jigsaw puzzle designed to fit together to make the shell, the interior and two trailers. to test the durability, the couple took the vehicle to iceland in april. the pace looks slow and it is — four kilometres per hour, but they plan to drive the solar voyager during every hour of antarctic sunlight that's available which, at this time of year, is 2a hours a day. and so, in continuous shifts of three hours, they'll navigate some of the trickiest terrain on earth. wednesday th

this actually the raw material we use building the solar voyager. by children from the primary school. we called it "urban mining". they sort it, the waste plastics, on types, and they have cleaned it and made chips out of it. while doing this, the children are asking, "are you happy?" "is this 0k?" how many we already have collected and how nice the material is. what you see is that they are starting to feel more attached with the material, because they do not see it as waste, they see it as raw material for building the solar, for instance. the plastic shreds are melted into a filament for a 3—d printer. 30 of these have been working continuously for six weeks to produce a 4000—piece of plastic jigsaw puzzle designed to fit together to make the shell, the interior and two trailers. this is only the flat part. we also have those, which can give us the flexibility to make all kinds of shapes. to test the durability, the couple took the vehicle to iceland in april. the pace looks slow and it is — four kilometres per hour, but they plan to drive the s

a landmark in space exploration to report now, because nasa says its voyager 2 probe has left the solarfour decades ago, and has flown pastjupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune. mission control say it is now in interstellar space, about 18 billion kilometres from earth. the only other man—made object which has gone as far is its sister mission, voyager 1. our science correspondent victoria gill is at nasa and sent us this update. both of these probes left at a few days apart in 1977. 41 years later, this particular probe, voyager two is the second object to leave their heliosphere. the scientists involved a careful not to use the solar system phrase. we use it because it has left the bubble contained the magnetic field that protects us from cosmic rays from interstellar space. it is now exploring the space between the stars. it is following its voyager one probe into that blackness. it is doing a brand—new science and even though this is a 41—year—old prior, it is hoped both probes would last until 2027, keep talking to earth for 50 years. still phoning home, picking up new signals about

nasa's voyager 2 space probe has become only the second human—made object to leave our solar system forfore its twin, voyager 1, which has already gone into outer space. nasa says the two probes are giving them a variety of data to analyse. the american space agency says it's detected the first signs of signicant melting of glaciers in east antartica, which could have a big impact on rising sea levels around the globe. until now, the region has been considered safe and unaffected by more dramatic changes occuring elsewhere in the continent, as navtej johal explains. in one of the most remarkable landscapes on earth... a tidal wave. . changes landscapes on earth... a tidal wave.. changes afoot, and it's worrying scientists. it's been known for yea rs worrying scientists. it's been known for years that climate change has caused warmer ocean water in west antarctica to eat into glaciers like this one, the giant thwaites glacier. but a new nasa study shows east antarctica, which was supposed to be stable, is now beginning to feel the impact too. the agency is going through huge numbers of s
