Parker Solar Probe Completes 21st Close Approach to the Sun
NASA's Parker Solar Probe successfully completed its 21st close approach to the Sun on Sept. 30, matching its previous distance record by coming within 7.26 million kilometers (4.51 million miles) of the solar surface. This close approach, known as perihelion, occurred at 5:15 UTC (12:15 a.m. EDT), with the spacecraft traveling at an impressive speed of 635,300 kilometers per hour (394,700 miles Gold Fields collaborates with Fleet Space's ExoSphere to boost exploration in Chile
Fleet Space Technologies, Australia's leading space exploration company, has announced its collaboration with Gold Fields to deploy the ExoSphere solution for advanced mineral exploration at the Salares Norte project in Northern Chile. ExoSphere will provide 3D subsurface imaging of the Brecha Principal and Agua Amarga resource areas, aiming to uncover new insights into the site's mineral system AV boosts stratospheric payload capacity for solar-powered aircraft
AeroVironment (AV) recently completed a successful flight test of its updated Sunglider, showcasing advancements in its High-Altitude Platform-Station (HAPS) capabilities for both commercial and government markets. The new version, Horus A, is designed specifically for government applications, offering enhanced stratospheric performance as a solar-powered UAS. It is capable of carrying payloads ICEYE unveils Dwell Precise mode with enhanced 25 cm resolution
ICEYE, a global leader in SAR satellite operations for Earth Observation, has launched Dwell Precise, a new imaging mode that delivers an impressive 25-centimeter resolution. This new capability builds on the earlier release of Dwell Fine in March 2024 and is based on ICEYE's 1200 MHz radar bandwidth, currently the maximum permitted for commercial satellites.
The Dwell Precise mode combine LEO satellites hold the key to resilient, interference-free navigation
In Finland, frequent disruptions caused by GPS jamming have impacted daily civilian life, creating significant challenges for navigation. A new approach, utilizing Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites combined with massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antennas, offers a solution for these challenges. This method, which ensures accurate navigation even when traditional global navigation sate
