Transforming how we stream content using satellites
Wednesday, 13 November 2024 13:21 Write a comment
We all know the frustration of settling down to watch something, only to spend more time staring at a buffering screen than enjoying the content. This common annoyance could soon be history, thanks to ESA's 5G-EMERGE project, which is combining satellite technology with 5G networks to revolutionise how we receive media content, particularly in areas where traditional internet connections struggle to deliver.

Smile is the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer, a brand-new space mission currently in the making. It will study space weather and the interaction between the solar wind and Earth’s environment.
Unique about Smile is that it will take the first X-ray images and videos of the solar wind slamming into Earth’s protective magnetic bubble, and its complementary ultraviolet images will provide the longest-ever continuous look at the northern lights.
In this first of several short videos, David Agnolon (Smile Project Manager) and Philippe Escoubet (Smile Project Scientist) talk about the why and the how of Smile. You’ll

A new model estimates odds of intelligent life across universes
Wednesday, 13 November 2024 08:48 Write a comment
A fresh theoretical model developed by astrophysicists at Durham University offers a method to assess the likelihood of intelligent life appearing in our Universe, as well as in possible alternate universes. This concept builds on the legacy of the famous Drake Equation, devised in the 1960s by Dr. Frank Drake to estimate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations within the Milky W 
Extreme heat weakens land’s power to absorb carbon

A new European Space Agency-backed study shows that the extreme heatwaves of 2023, which fuelled huge wildfires and severe droughts, also undermined the land’s capacity to soak up atmospheric carbon. This diminished carbon uptake drove atmospheric carbon dioxide levels to new highs, intensifying concerns about accelerating climate change.

During its recent exploration of the crater rim, Perseverance diverted to explore a strange, scattered field of bright white rocks which sparked the interest of the team scientists.
Perseverance has been climbing up the steep slopes of the Jezero crater rim for over two months now, and ever since approaching the edge of the crater has been spying increasingly diverse and strange-looking ro Sidus Space chosen to build Lunar Data Storage Spacecraft for Lonestar

Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing (NYSE: BA) subsidiary, has successfully completed two spacecraft for NASA's TRACERS (Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites) mission, aimed at studying the interaction between solar wind and Earth's magnetic field.
"TRACERS will ultimately inform how we understand space weather," said Dave Machuga, CEO of Millennium Space S
