Paris, France (SPX) Apr 30, 2024
The European Space Agency (ESA) has chosen Thales Alenia Space's IRMA and PhiFireAI projects for in-orbit testing aboard the Fsat-2 microsatellite. Scheduled for a June 2024 launch, this 6U CubeSat will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance Earth observation satellites to address social, economic, and environmental issues. Initiated in early 2023, the ESA's challenge involve

Redefining engineering practices across NASA

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 29, 2024
Since John F. Kennedy's landmark 1961 address advocating for lunar exploration, NASA has continually embraced the challenge of difficult endeavors to stimulate innovation across its varied missions. Kennedy articulated this ethos when he said, "We choose to go to the Moon not because it's easy, but because it's hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies a

UC Irvine study bolsters dark matter existence theory
Write a comment
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 30, 2024
Astronomers from the University of California, Irvine have used computer simulations to support the existence of dark matter, a critical component thought necessary to explain various cosmic phenomena. These simulations contribute to the ongoing debate about whether the universe's workings can be solely attributed to observable matter or if invisible elements like dark matter are required.
