Digging Gets Smarter with Trimble's Siteworks Upgrade for Excavators
Trimble (Nasdaq: TRMB) has launched a new capability for its Siteworks Machine Guidance Module that integrates tilt bucket attachments into its field software suite. This enhancement enables construction crews to execute advanced grading, ditch shaping, backfilling, and complex slope tasks with greater speed and accuracy. The integration delivers superior control of the bucket's cutting edge thr True Anomaly expands Jackal spacecraft operations to GEO and lunar space
True Anomaly Inc., a leader in developing advanced defense-focused space technologies, has unveiled plans to extend the operational envelope of its Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle (AOV) to geosynchronous orbit (GEO) and Cislunar space. The move positions Jackal as a front-runner in the evolving domain of orbital defense and maneuver warfare beyond low Earth orbit (LEO).
In domains where Solar panels from Moon dust may revolutionize lunar energy supply
In a significant advance for lunar sustainability, scientists have fabricated solar cells using simulated Moon dust, offering a lightweight, radiation-resistant energy source for future Moon missions. The research, published April 3 in Device, a journal from Cell Press, outlines a new approach that could drastically reduce the need to ship bulky materials from Earth.
"Current space-grade s Rocket Lab launches tailored solar arrays for next gen satellite missions
USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) has unveiled a new suite of customizable solar arrays, branded as STARRAY, aimed at addressing the broad spectrum of satellite power demands across all orbital environments. The official debut took place during the 40th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
STARRAY systems are engineered for adaptability, delivering power outputs ranging from around 100 wa Microbial profile mapped aboard China space station
Efforts to understand how microgravity shapes microbial life have long been hampered by limited data from the International Space Station (ISS), primarily due to the technical challenges of sustained experimentation in orbit. Now, China's new space station offers an expansive opportunity to deepen our grasp of microbial dynamics in space habitats.
Launched under the China Space Station Hab Rx Networks launches TruePoint FOCUS to deliver real-time centimeter precision
Rx Networks Inc., a leader in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data services, has announced the debut of TruePoint FOCUS, a cloud-powered correction platform that provides near-instantaneous centimeter-level accuracy for positioning applications.
Engineered for precision-driven industries, TruePoint FOCUS caters to use cases that require consistent real-time accuracy. It supports Multi-Orbit and Multi-Partnership Strategies Shape the Future of Inflight Connectivity
Inflight connectivity providers are making substantial advances in network strategy, hardware integration, and operator partnerships, reflecting the sector's shift toward scalable, high-performance services across multiple orbits and technologies. Several recent announcements from Eutelsat, Panasonic Avionics, SES, Intelsat, ThinKom, and Quvia demonstrate the competitive momentum behind multi-or A football field of archives shaped the identity of the Royal Observatory
The vast archival legacy of George Biddell Airy, former director of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, stretches 110 meters across the Cambridge University Library shelves-roughly the length of a football field. In a new paper published in Isis: the Journal of the History of Science Society, historian Yuto Ishibashi explores how Airy's meticulous approach to recordkeeping and standardization deep Aitech launches compact AI-powered satellite platform for next-gen Earth and space intelligence
Built upon more than three decades of space-proven electronic systems and trillions of miles of cumulative flight heritage, Aitech has introduced the IQSat, an ultra-compact, AI-enabled picosatellite platform capable of forming large-scale constellations. The new system enables broad, persistent coverage of the Earth, offering real-time insights into life patterns, environmental change, and stra Eclipse quiets birds only in zones of near-total darkness
A landmark study using community-sourced audio data has revealed that bird song diminished significantly only in areas of near-complete solar coverage during the April 8, 2024, total eclipse. The research, featured in Scientific Reports, marks the first scientific deployment of the Haikubox acoustic monitoring network.
