Tiny Welsh island wins world stargazing fame
Night falls over Ynys Enlli. The remote Welsh island's sky turns impossibly black.
Planets rise and shooting stars streak overhead, while the Northern Lights send flares of green and red across the sea.
The rugged outcrop has become Europe's first "Dark Skies Sanctuary", one of just 17 places around the world to achieve international recognition for their ultra-low light pollution and p Rocket Lab Signs Multi-Launch Deal to Deploy Satellite Constellation for Capella Space
Rocket Lab USA, Inc (Nasdaq: RKLB) has secured a multi-launch deal for a rapid succession of four Electron missions for Capella Space, an American space tech company and the world's leading provider of commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery.
Scheduled for launch beginning in the second half of 2023, each Electron mission will deploy a single SAR Earth-imaging Acadia satellite, a Sidus Space to integrate Edge AI for upcoming satellite constellation operations
Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ:SIDU) has announced the integration of edge AI capabilities into its planned satellite constellation. The Space-as-a-Service satellite company is focused on commercial satellite design, manufacture, launch, and space-based data collection. Under an expanded agreement with Exo-Space, Sidus will use the FeatherEdge AI platform to provide near real-time intelligence derive Kleos Space joins Ursa Space Virtual Constellation
Ursa Space Systems, a global satellite intelligence infrastructure provider, has announced that Kleos Space (ASX: KSS), a space-powered defense and intelligence technology company, will join its Virtual Constellation, the world's largest database of satellite imagery from the most trusted SAR, optical, and RF data vendors around the globe.
Kleos intelligence products are available now to p Maxar awarded Phase 3b of One World Terrain Contract for US Army
Maxar Technologies (TSX:MAXR) has been awarded Phase 3b of the U.S. Army's One World Terrain (OWT) prototype Other Transaction Agreement contract.
The OWT program delivers 3D global terrain capability and associated information services that support a fully accessible virtual representation of the physical Earth through the Army network. OWT is a key component of the Army's Synthetic Train SpaceX Dragon crew blasts off for ISS
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off on Thursday to the International Space Station carrying two NASA astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut and the second Emirati to voyage to space.
The SpaceX Dragon Crew-6 mission launched at 12:34 am (0534 GMT) Thursday from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a livestream of the launch showed.
The launch had been scrubbed on Monda Researchers find asteroid redirection a viable possibility for planetary defense
Redirecting near-Earth objects like asteroids before they impact the planet is a viable possibility, according to new research published Wednesday.
Conducted last September, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test proved to be more successful than anticipated, according to the research published in the journal Nature.
In October, NASA confirmed the DART mission successfully alter SpaceX Dragon crew blasts off for International Space Station
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off on Thursday to the International Space Station carrying two NASA astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut and the second Emirati to voyage to space.
The SpaceX Dragon Crew-6 mission launched at 12:34 am (0534 GMT) Thursday from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a livestream of the launch showed.
The launch had been scrubbed on Monday just minutes before liftoff because of a clog in a filter that supplies ignition fluid to start the rocket engines.
"Congratulations to the NASA and SpaceX teams for another history-making mission to the International Space Station!" NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement.
Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumb trick inspires robotic exploration system for caves on Mars and beyond
House hunting on Mars could soon become a thing, and researchers at the University of Arizona are already in the business of scouting real estate that future astronauts could use as habitats. Researchers in the UArizona College of Engineering have developed technology that would allow a flock of robots to explore subsurface environments on other worlds.
"Lava tubes and caves would make perfect habitats for astronauts because you don't have to build a structure; you are shielded from harmful cosmic radiation, so all you need to do is make it pretty and cozy," said Wolfgang Fink, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UArizona.
