US Space Force launches first reprogrammable navigation satellite from L3Harris
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 15, 2025
The US Space Force has placed the L3Harris-built Navigation Technology Satellite-3 (NTS-3) into orbit aboard a United Launch Alliance Vulcan rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. NTS-3 is the Department of Defense's first experimental navigation satellite in almost five decades, and the first fully reprogrammable Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) spacecraft designed to operate i

China accelerates space computing as Geovis and Sugon map an orbital data network
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Aug 15, 2025
China is accelerating investment in the emerging space information, or space computing, sector that it frames as a future trillion-yuan growth engine, with leading firms joining to process satellite and aerial data in orbit rather than entirely on the ground.
Geovis Technology Co Ltd recently signed a framework agreement with supercomputer maker Sugon to co-develop an open and inclusive sp

Magnetic field mapping in Sagittarius C reveals new clues to Milky Way core dynamics
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 13, 2025
The complex and turbulent Galactic Center has long challenged astronomers attempting to model its underlying physics. Now, new measurements of the magnetic field in Sagittarius C, a region within the Central Molecular Zone of the Milky Way, are offering unprecedented insight into the interplay between dense clouds, massive star formation, and magnetic structures.

CO2 increase to reshape geomagnetic storm impacts on satellites
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 15, 2025
Rising carbon dioxide levels in Earths upper atmosphere will alter how geomagnetic storms influence satellite operations, according to new research from the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR), with implications for thousands of spacecraft that depend on stable orbital conditions.

Rare gigantic jet captured from ISS by NASA astronaut
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 15, 2025
NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers photographed a rare gigantic jet on July 3, 2025, while aboard the International Space Station. Initially thought to be a sprite, analysis confirmed it was an even rarer Transient Luminous Event (TLE).
"Gigantic jets are a powerful type of electrical discharge that extends from the top of a thunderstorm into the upper atmosphere," explained Dr. Burcu Kosar, Pri
