SatService to supply Q V band satcom ground station for Bundeswehr university
SatService GmbH, a Germany based provider of advanced satellite ground systems and a subsidiary of Calian Group Ltd, has secured a contract from the Federal Ministry of Defence of Germany to deliver an advanced Q V band satellite ground station to the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich. The project supports both scientific research and modern military satellite communications requi Assistive home robot learns coordinated dual arm tasks by watching people
Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new way for an assistive robot to learn how to move its arms autonomously by combining observational learning with communication between its limbs. The approach lets the robot watch how people perform everyday tasks and then adapt those movements so its two arms can work together safely and efficiently in domestic settings s Mars relay orbiter seen as backbone for future exploration
NASA has set clear goals at Mars: search for evidence of ancient life, understand the planet's climate and geology, and prepare for human exploration. Those objectives depend on a robust link between spacecraft at Mars and mission teams on Earth, with every image and dataset traveling hundreds of millions of kilometers across interplanetary space.

Launching the first Ariane 6 with four boosters
Video:
00:01:09
This first launch of the four-booster version of Ariane 6, operated by Arianespace, took 32 satellites for Amazon’s Leo constellation to low-Earth orbit. Liftoff occurred at 13:45 local time (16:45 GMT/17:45 CET) from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, with separation of the last satellites occurring after 114 minutes.
Ariane 6 in its four-booster configuration, known as Ariane 64, doubles the rocket’s performance compared to the two-booster version that has flown five times including the inaugural flight in 2024. The P120C boosters used by Ariane 6 are one of the most powerful one-piece motors in production in the world.

China tests AI satellite swarm for space-based computing
China has advanced its vision for space-based computing with a satellite network that deploys 10 artificial intelligence models in orbit and demonstrates inter-satellite networking capabilities.
Developed by Zhejiang Lab in cooperation with international partners, the experimental space computing network is built around the Three-Body Computing Constellation, a planned fleet of more than 1
