The European Space Agency (ESA) and Honeywell move to the next phase of a project that will provide satellite-based quantum key distribution. The project, called QKDSat, will enable protection of critical infrastructures, such as power plants, water management systems, hospitals and banks from cyberattacks.

The deal underscores NGA’s push to fold commercial satellite data and artificial intelligence into U.S.

SES announced plans Sept.

The company delivered 84 terminals to York Space and Northrop Grumman for the military constellation known as the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture

PARIS – Astro Digital announced plans Sept. 16 to purchase and distribute power from Florida startup Star Catcher’s future space-based energy grid.

Scientists created the most accurate three-dimensional map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope. This map will teach us more about these obscure cloudy areas, and the hot young stars that shape them.

It is notoriously difficult to map and study regions in space where stars form because they are usually hidden from view by thick clouds of gas and dust, whose distances cannot be directly measured.

Gaia can’t see these clouds directly, but it can measure stellar positions and the so-called ‘extinction’ of stars. This means

Teams from ESA, Airbus, NASA and Lockheed Martin stand before the service module for Artemis III at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

Last week, ESA officially handed over its third European Service Module to NASA. The module will power Orion on Artemis III, the mission set to return astronauts to the lunar surface for the first time in over 50 years.

The handover took place on 10 September during the third quarterly European Service Module project meeting of the year at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, US. Each European Service Module is the result of thousands of hours of design,
