U.S. military has growing appetite for satellite communications but its needs are complex
The U.S. Army is in the market for satellite communications but with a complicated twist. It is not just looking to buy broadband for troops in the field but “end to end” services.
OneWeb Q&A: Fully funded to craft the art of the possible
As SpaceX charges ahead with more than 1,700 Starlink satellites launched so far for a consumer broadband service, early mover OneWeb and more recent contenders are developing megaconstellations targeting higher paying enterprise and government customers.
SpaceX wins contract to launch Yahsat’s Thuraya 4-NGS satellite
Yahsat has selected SpaceX to launch its next-generation Thuraya mobile connectivity satellite in 2023, the companies announced Sept. 8.
Swissto12 and Saturn collaborate on small GEO satellites
Switzerland-based additive manufacturing specialist Swissto12 announced plans Sept. 8 to collaborate with Saturn Satellite Networks, a U.S. firm focused on small geostationary satellite missions, to market small geostationary telecommunications satellite missions.
NASA's next space telescope to launch in December
The James Webb Space Telescope, which astronomers hope will herald a new era of discovery, will launch on December 18, NASA said Wednesday.
The $10 billion observatory, which is a joint project by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, will blast off on an Ariane 5 rocket from Spaceport in French Guiana.
Safeguarding clean water for spaceflight missions
By all appearances, the universe beyond Earth is a vast, lonely, and sterile space. Yet, wherever humans may travel, an abundance of microbial life will follow.
In a first study of its kind, lead author Jiseon Yang at the Arizona State University Biodesign Institute, Center for Fundamental and Applied Microbiomics, and her colleagues characterized different bacterial populations isolated o York Space Systems tackled Exotrail electric propulsion system for its Cislunar mission
On 16 August, Exotrail signed a contract with US-based aerospace company YORK SPACE SYSTEMS for the delivery of one ExoMGTM - cluster2, a product configuration from Exotrail high thrust and flexible electric propulsion product family, for delivery by Q2 2022.
ExoMGTM - cluster2 system will be integrated onboard YORK SPACE SYSTEMS S-Class platform for a satellite mission aiming to orbit the Researchers enlist robot swarms to mine lunar resources
With scientists beginning to more seriously consider constructing bases on celestial bodies such as the moon, the idea of space mining is growing in popularity.
After all, if someone from Los Angeles was moving to New York to build a house, it would be a lot easier to buy the building materials in New York rather than buy them in Los Angeles and lug them 2,800 miles. Considering the distan The Sun's 11-year cycle cannot explain global warming
The Earth's global climate system fluctuates in 11-year and 3, 5-year cycles find Yizhak Feliks, Justin Small and Michael Ghil. The study was published in Climate Dynamics on July 15th.
The 11-year near-periodicity recalls that of the solar cycle, which climate-sceptics for decades have argued plays a major role in global warming. But the fluctuations between the Earth's climate system and Milky Way is not homogeneous
In order to better understand the history and evolution of the Milky Way, astronomers are studying the composition of the gases and metals that make up an important part of our galaxy. Three main elements stand out: the initial gas coming from outside our galaxy, the gas between the stars inside our galaxy - enriched with chemical elements -, and the dust created by the condensation of the metal
