York Space demonstrates successful payload commissioning for BARD mission
York Space Systems completed the initial commissioning of the Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT) payload on the BARD mission, validating the mission's operations concept and advancing wideband space communications for NASA.
During a continuous wave pass, York's operations team established first-contact telemetry download. The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) acquired signal w Dust and Sand Movements Reshape Martian Slopes
A meteoroid impact near Apollinaris Mons on Mars produced streaks and more than a hundred fresh markings across the slopes, as recorded by ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter on December 24, 2023. The Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) gathered images that show a cluster of impact craters in the dust-shifted areas at the base of the slope. With supporting data from other imagery, rese The archaeologist's guide to colonizing other worlds

Blue Origin, the space company owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, was forced Sunday to postpone the anticipated launch of its New Glenn rocket due to unfavorable weather conditions.
Rain and a ground system issue caused delays that were followed by cumulus cloud cover as the 88-minute launch window closed, leaving managers with the only option of pushing back the rocket's planned second missio Sentinel-1D extends global radar imaging as new Copernicus satellite enters orbit
The European Space Agency's Sentinel-1D satellite, equipped with Airbus's Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), has successfully launched, joining Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1C in orbit. This addition ensures uninterrupted radar data acquisition for monitoring worldwide land and ocean environments with an operational lifetime planned for over seven years.
Sentinel-1D supports a range of missions a Mission control center supports HummingSat launches with digital twin and electric orbit-raising
SWISSto12 has detailed the mission control operations for its geostationary satellite, HummingSat. The company's Command-and-Control Center in Athens, Georgia, facilitates launch, orbit raising, and in-orbit testing prior to customer handover. SWISSto12 plans an additional redundant Mission Control capability in Europe.
Since opening, the Georgia center has incorporated mission control sys
