China's space station to drive over 1000 research projects
China's space station is set to conduct over 1,000 research projects, advance scientific literacy, and foster international partnerships over the next decade and beyond, according to the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
As a hub for national space research, the station aims to facilitate comprehensive interdisciplinary studies, Constellr launches first satellite pioneering global thermal monitoring
constellr, a European leader in Earth Observation (EO), has successfully launched its first satellite, Sky-Bee-1, equipped with thermal infrared technology to monitor global land surface temperatures with unparalleled precision. This achievement marks the initial phase of its High-precision Versatile Ecosphere (HiVE) satellite constellation, aiming to deliver critical insights for sustainable re H3 Shenzhou-19 astronauts advance experiments aboard Tiangong space station
China's Shenzhou-19 crew on the Tiangong space station has undertaken several important scientific experiments since the start of 2025, including a test involving a pipeline inspection robot, as reported by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The astronauts conducted the experiment by placing the robot within a simulated pipeline, activating it, and pressing the task button to initiate i The new era of infrastructure maintenance using satellite data
The rapid growth of urban populations is intensifying challenges in maintaining critical infrastructure, exacerbated by extreme weather conditions. Large-scale facilities, such as waste landfills, face particular hurdles as managers struggle with on-site access and oversight. These limitations contribute to issues such as environmental degradation and inefficient operations.
To address the The Tyranny of the VC Equation Why Your Company Might Not Be "VC-able"
TL;DR: There are many great startup companies that may generate significant returns, but most of them don't pass the difficult threshold of being VC investable because their return profile doesn't close the "VC equation."
Most people in the space industry are familiar with the concept of tyranny when trying to leave the planet, especially as so eloquently summarized by Austin Morris in a b Slingshot Aerospace to enhance USSF technology for GPS jamming and spoofing detection
Slingshot Aerospace, a leader in AI-driven satellite tracking and space traffic solutions, has secured $1.9 million from the United States Space Force's (USSF) Space Systems Command (SSC) to advance its capabilities in detecting and geolocating GPS jamming and spoofing threats. These tactics, often employed in conflict zones, undermine technology effectiveness and may signal future security thre
