NASA's Fermi hunts for gravitational waves from monster black holes
Our universe is a chaotic sea of ripples in space-time called gravitational waves. Astronomers think waves from orbiting pairs of supermassive black holes in distant galaxies are light-years long and have been trying to observe them for decades, and now they're one step closer thanks to NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.
Fermi detects gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light. An i ESA ends cooperation with Russia on lunar missions

Intelligence official says U.S. government is not micromanaging commercial imagery
Many of the commercial companies that are openly sharing satellite imagery of Ukraine work with the U.S. government but are not restricted in what they can share, said Stacey Dixon, principal deputy director of national intelligence
Satellites improve national reporting of greenhouse gases
With the climate crisis continuing to tighten its grip, nations around the world are making efforts to reduce emissions of climate warming gases. To track action, countries report their greenhouse gas emissions to the UNFCCC – the body responsible for driving global action to combat climate change. While accurate and consistent reporting is crucial, very few countries exploit Earth observation satellite data to check and improve their estimates. Scientists have now devised new ways of comparing national greenhouse gas inventories with independent measurements taken from space.
Race is on for China's first domestic satellite listed firm
China's commercial aerospace sector has embraced a wave of IPO plans recently, as private enterprises hasten to "aim for the stars" and become the country's first domestically listed aerospace company.
In March, Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co, the country's first commercial remote sensing satellite firm, is planning to file an IPO, according to the website of Haitong Securities. Kleos' first two Patrol satellites deployed from D-Orbit Transfer vehicle
Kleos Space S.A (ASX:KSS, Frankfurt:KS1) has confirmed that the first two Patrol Mission satellites (KSF2-C and KSF2-D) have been successfully deployed from D-Orbit's orbital transfer vehicle, ION Satellite Carrier, and contact has been established. The remaining two Patrol satellites (KSF2-A and KSF3-B) are expected to be deployed into a different orbit from the transfer vehicle in the coming w Swiftly gaining holistic views of space systems with AI
As Lockheed Martin designs and tests spacecraft, massive amounts of data points are created and it's important to review that information to pinpoint any anomalies. That process could be extremely time consuming without the right tools in place, like artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
For years, Lockheed Martin has incorporated NEC Corporation's System Invariant Analysis Technology ( Tianzhou 4's rocket arrives in Hainan
The Long March 7 carrier rocket tasked with launching the Tianzhou 4 cargo spacecraft arrived at Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province on Monday, the China Manned Space Agency said.
Next, the rocket will be assembled and undergo ground tests with the robotic spaceship at the coastal launch complex, the agency said in a brief statement.
