The Space Development Agency (SDA) has announced the successful initial launch of Tranche 0 (T0) of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), the Transport and Tracking Layer satellites that will demonstrate the low-latency communication links to support the warfighter with a resilient network of integrated capabilities, including tracking of advanced missile threats, from low-Earth Space ISAC stands up operational watch center to keep pace with proliferating threats to space systems
Space ISAC, its founding board of directors and executive director launched Space ISAC's Operational Watch Center and its initial operational capability today. This is a crucial milestone for Space ISAC, whose executive, operational, and administrative functions are operated by the National Cybersecurity Center (NCC), and the global space industry, as they address the growing threats and vulnera Spire Global awarded National Reconnaissance Office contract for radio frequency data
Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) has been awarded a contract by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) for commercial radio frequency (RF) remote sensing. Spire won a contract as part of the NRO's Strategic Commercial Enhancements (SCE) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) program in September 2022.
Spire is proud to announce two options were exercised extending the performance period through Webb telescope discovers oldest galaxies ever observed
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the four most distant galaxies ever observed, one of which formed just 320 million years after the Big Bang when the universe was still in its infancy, new research said on Tuesday.
The Webb telescope has unleashed a torrent of scientific discovery since becoming operational last year, peering farther than ever before into the universe's distant 50 years after NASA's Apollo mission, moon rocks still have secrets to reveal
ESA's astronaut candidates start training
ESA welcomed its latest group of astronaut candidates yesterday at its European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany, at the start of their one-year basic training to prepare for future space missions.
First woman, Black astronaut to make 2024 flight around Moon
NASA unveiled the crew on Monday for its first human mission to the Moon in more than 50 years –- including the first woman and Black man to participate in a lunar flight.
Three Americans and one Canadian will fly around the Moon next year, becoming the first astronauts to venture that deep into space since the historic Apollo missions ended in 1972.
The flight, dubbed Artemis II, is scheduled to take place in November 2024 and is a prelude to returning humans to the lunar surface for the first time in a half century.
The three NASA astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch—named to Artemis II have all spent time on the International Space Station (ISS) while Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency will be making his first space flight.
The four astronauts, dressed in blue flight suits, were introduced by NASA administrator Bill Nelson at an event at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Earth's anisotropic inner core structure driven by dipole geomagnetic field: Study
A geomagnetic field is generated in Earth's interior and extends into outer space to protect Earth from cosmic radiation and the charged particles of solar wind. The magnetic field is generated by the convection of charged molten iron fluids in Earth's outer core.
In contrast to the convective homogenous outer core, Earth's inner core is inhomogeneous and anisotropic. The seismic velocity
