SwRI-led research finds particles energized by magnetic reconnection in the nascent solar wind
Wednesday, 04 June 2025 09:48
New research led by a Southwest Research Institute scientist identified a new source of energetic particles near the Sun. These definitive observations were made by instruments aboard NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which detected the powerful phenomena as the spacecraft dipped in and out of the solar corona.
These new results offer fresh perspectives on how magnetic reconnection could heat the Seventh and Eighth O3b mPOWER Satellites to Start Delivering Connectivity Services
Wednesday, 04 June 2025 09:48
SES reports that the latest pair of O3b mPOWER satellites launched in December 2024 are now ready to offer services across the globe.
Featuring redesigned payload power modules, the seventh and eighth O3b mPOWER satellites are bolstering the capabilities of SES's second-generation medium earth orbit (MEO) system, supporting the delivery of high throughput and predictable low latency servic Maxar Space Systems Selected to Build High-Power EchoStar XXVI Satellite

Wednesday, 04 June 2025 09:48
In the world of black holes, there are generally three size categories: stellar-mass black holes (about five to 50 times the mass of the sun), supermassive black holes (millions to billions of times the mass of the sun), and intermediate-mass black holes with masses somewhere in between.
While we know that intermediate-mass black holes should exist, little is known about their origins or c Maxar inks partnership with Saab for defense applications of geospatial data

A breath of fresh data: Sentinel-4 innovates for clean air
Wednesday, 04 June 2025 08:43
From its vantage point outside Earth’s atmosphere, more than 36 000 km above Earth’s surface, the Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission will detect major air pollutants over Europe in unprecedented detail. It will observe how they vary on an hourly basis – a real breakthrough for air quality forecasting.
