[6.4] First UK baby born from deceased donor womb transplant — bbc.co.uk (+15)

A baby boy has become the first child in the UK born using a womb transplanted from a deceased donor, a breakthrough for women born without viable wombs.

Grace Bell, who has MRKH syndrome, received the organ in 2024 before undergoing IVF. This milestone, part of a clinical research trial, follows the 2025 birth of a baby via a living donor transplant and offers hope to thousands of similar patients.

The transplanted womb will eventually be removed to prevent Bell from requiring lifelong immunosuppressants. Globally, over 70 babies have been born following womb transplants, though deceased donor successes remain rare in Europe.

[5.6] Perseverance rover gains precise self-location capability on Mars — space.com (+4)

NASA has updated the Perseverance rover to autonomously determine its precise location on Mars using new software, eliminating Earth-based guidance and enabling faster, more extensive exploration of the planet.

The Mars Global Localization system matches panoramic imagery to orbital maps, identifying coordinates within roughly ten inches. Previously, cumulative sensor errors required mission teams on Earth to manually verify positions, a process delayed by the massive communication distance and time between the two planets.

This technology follows recent tests of AI-planned routes and digital twin simulations. Officials believe this advancement will facilitate more efficient autonomous exploration for future robotic missions on Mars and other celestial bodies.
