Planet Labs Teams Up with NVIDIA for Enhanced Satellite Insights
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a provider of daily data and insights about Earth, announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to enhance onboard processing capabilities for its Pelican-2 satellite. Planet will use the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform for its next-generation high-resolution mission and will fly the technology on its Pelican-2 satellite, launching later this year.
NVIDIA GPU accelerate New turbulence transition discovered in fusion plasmas
Fusion energy is that released when two light nuclei combine to form a single heavier one (nuclear fusion reaction). Fusion energy-based power generation (fusion power plant) uses the energy generated when deuterium and tritium combine to form helium. A nuclear fusion reaction does not produce carbon dioxide. In addition, since it is possible to extract deuterium and tritium from the sea water, Space Team Europe: Ariane 6 launch pad operations are GO

With the transfer and standing up of Ariane 6’s central core and the integration of its two solid-fuel boosters, all stages of the first Ariane 6 rocket have been transferred to the launch pad in French Guiana – marking the beginning of operations.
While the qualification of the launcher and launch system has been underway here, on the European continent, the final tests have been carried out on the upper stage at the German Aerospace Centre’s (DLR) test facility in Lampoldshausen, Germany.

Green light for Galileo second-generation satellite design

Production of Galileo Second Generation satellites advances at full speed after two independent Satellite Critical Design Review boards have confirmed that the satellite designs of the respective industries meet all mission and performance requirements. This achievement is another crucial milestone hit on time in the ambitious schedule to develop the first 12 satellites of the Galileo Second Generation fleet.
The European Galileo navigation system, the most precise worldwide, is gearing up for the Second Generation (G2). G2 will bring unprecedented positioning, navigation and timing capabilities to support a wide array of user needs and services.
