OneWeb and HD Hyundai Avikus to advance marine technology by unlocking the potential of LEO connectivity
OneWeb, the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, and HD Hyundai Avikus, a world leader in advanced autonomous ship, has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
This agreement, signed during a dedicated ceremony at SMM Hamburg 2022, signifies a new partnership to explore opportunities for advanced LEO satellite technology to support the next generati Is over-eating to blame for bulges in Milky Way bar
A new simulation conducted on the world's most powerful supercomputer dedicated to astronomy has produced a testable scenario to explain the appearance of the bar of the Milky Way. Comparing this scenario to data from current and future space telescopes will help clarify the evolution of our home Galaxy.
Astronomy is revealing the structure of the Milky Way Galaxy in which we live in incre Harris talks with space station astronauts, introduces new initiatives
Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to astronauts serving on the International Space Station on Friday as she convened the meeting of the National Space Council at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
In the call, Harris talked about the importance of protecting Earth and joining forces to meet other space initiatives. She is the chair of the council.

MEASAT Global Berhad ("MEASAT") - Malaysia's premier satellite operator, has signed a multiyear contract with Reach Ten Communication Sdn Bhd ("Reach Ten") for Managed Bandwidth Services, supported by the high throughput satellite ("HTS") payload on MEASAT-3d ("M3d"). With this contract, Reach Ten will become the largest enterprise satellite service provider in Malaysia in terms of capacity prov Could Ukraine become a strong ally ESA has been looking for
The European Space Agency (ESA) said in June that it expects strong support from NASA after the European agency suspended its cooperation with Russia due to the Ukraine war.
"Administrator Bill Nelson has given us a clear message: NASA wants to help Europe in this situation," said ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher.
ESA wants to find a silver-bullet solution here and now to cover SpaceX launches 34 more Starlink satellites, AST SpaceMobile satellite
Elon Musk's SpaceX launched 34 more Starlink satellites with AST SpaceMobile's BlueWalker 3 satellite to low-Earth orbit on Saturday.
The satellites were launched by a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida after targeting a 9:20 p.m. liftoff due to weather.
The first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas New mineral found by Chinese scientists
Chinese scientists have achieved a remarkable new feat in their research of the moon as they have discovered and identified the sixth new lunar mineral.
The China National Space Administration and the China Atomic Energy Authority jointly announced in Beijing on Friday that the new mineral-Changesite-(Y)-was found by scientists at the Beijing Research Institute of Uranium Geology from surf LeoLabs awarded contract from US Dept of Commerce to support space traffic management prototype
LeoLabs, Inc., the world's leading commercial provider of low Earth orbit (LEO) mapping and Space Situational Awareness (SSA) services, has announced an award to provide data and services to the US Department of Commerce to support the development of a US civil- led Space Traffic Management (STM) system. The announcement was made at the 9th session of the National Space Council in Houston, Texas NASA's Webb catches Tarantula Nebula
A stellar nursery nicknamed the Tarantula Nebula has been captured in crisp detail by NASA's Webb telescope, revealing hitherto unseen features that deepen scientific understanding, the agency said Tuesday.
Officially known as 30 Doradus, the region of space is characterized by its dusty filaments that resemble the legs of a hairy spider, and has long been a favorite for astronomers interested in star formation.
Thousands of young stars, distant background galaxies, and the detailed structure of the nebula's gas and dust structures were viewable for the first time thanks to Webb's high resolution infrared instruments.
Why go back to the Moon?
On September 12, 1962, then US president John F Kennedy informed the public of his plan to put a man on the Moon by the end of the decade.
It was the height of the Cold War and America needed a big victory to demonstrate its space superiority after the Soviet Union had launched the first satellite and put the first man in orbit.
"We choose to go to the Moon," Kennedy told 40,000 people at Rice University, "because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win."
Sixty years on, the United States is about to launch the first mission of its return program to the Moon, Artemis. But why repeat what has already been done?
Criticism has risen in recent years, for example from Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, and the Mars Society founder Robert Zubrin, who have long advocated for America to go directly to Mars.
