Gilat secures $12M in orders for SkyEdge VSAT Platforms
Write a comment
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ, TASE: GILT), a global leader in satellite networking technologies and services, has announced that it secured over $12 million in orders from a prominent satellite operator. These orders are aimed at enhancing the operator's global satellite communication (SATCOM) network using Gilat's SkyEdge family of Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) platforms.

Physicists at the University at Albany celebrated the latest advancements in the search for direct evidence of dark matter on Monday, as new findings from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) project were presented at two scientific conferences. Dark matter is thought to be a massive, yet unseen, component of the universe's structure.

NASA's development of a carbon nanotube material is poised to significantly enhance the search for exoplanets, some of which may harbor life. Originally devised in 2007 by a team led by John Hagopian and Stephanie Getty at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, this carbon nanotube technology is now being refined for potential use on NASA's upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). HWO will be t Major leap for nuclear clock paves way for ultraprecise timekeeping

The world keeps time with the ticks of atomic clocks, but a new type of clock under development - a nuclear clock - could revolutionize how we measure time and probe fundamental physics.

China's initiative to establish an international lunar research station has attracted new international partners, marking a significant step in global space collaboration.
At the opening of a two-day space conference in Tunxi, Anhui Province, on Thursday, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) signed a cooperation agreement with Senegal on the International Lunar Research Station ( SpaceX successfully launches all-civilian crew for historic private spacewalk

Write a comment
The Global Methane Budget 2024 paints a troubling picture of the current state of global methane emissions. The new report reveals that human activities are now responsible for at least two-thirds of global methane emissions.
This marks a significant increase in human-produced methane sources over the past two decades, with emissions rising by 20%, with the fastest rise occurring over the last five years.
A smooth start to life in orbit for Sentinel-2C

Sentinel-2C has completed its important first few days in space, which saw teams on the ground working around the clock to ensure the spacecraft is ready to begin its mission.
Video: Cluster reentry explained—world's first targeted reentry
Write a comment
The first of four satellites that make up ESA's Cluster mission is coming safely back down to Earth, marking a brilliant end to this remarkable mission.
The satellite's orbit was tweaked back in January to target a region as far as possible from populated regions. This ensures that any spacecraft parts that survive the reentry will fall over open ocean.
During 24 years in space, Cluster has sent back precious data on how the sun interacts with Earth's magnetic field, helping us better understand and forecast potentially dangerous space weather.
With this first ever targeted reentry, Cluster goes down in history for a different reason, taking ESA well beyond international space safety standards and helping ensure the long-term sustainability of space activities.

Artemis III landing sites identified using mapping and algorithm techniques
Write a comment
Where would be the most ideal landing site for the Artemis III crew in SpaceX's Human Landing System (HLS)? This is what a recent study submitted to Acta Astronautica, and available on the arXiv preprint server, hopes to address as an international team of scientists investigated plausible landing sites within the lunar south pole region, which comes after NASA selected 13 candidate landing regions in August 2022 and holds the potential to enable new methods in determining landing sites for future missions, as well.
