The Omega service allows customers to purchase and integrate ready-to-use propulsion systems for their satellites, offering comprehensive support from launch to end-of-life deorbiting. This turnkey service enables customers to utilize Omega throughout a satellite's entire lifecycle, including deployment and collision avoidance.
"We are very impressed with what is being developed by the thr Northrop Grumman completes PDR for SDA Data Transport Satellites
Friday, 02 August 2024 16:52
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has successfully completed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for 74 high-speed data transport satellites for the Space Development Agency (SDA). These satellites, which incorporate advanced technology from the earlier Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), will enhance capabilities for U.S. Forces.
The 74 satellites include both Tranch Researchers Launch Underwater Study of Greenland's Glaciers
Friday, 02 August 2024 16:52
The University of Texas at Austin has initiated an expedition to explore the underwater boundaries of Greenland's coastal glaciers to gain insights into future sea level rise.
The four-week international expedition will study the mechanisms controlling the melting of these massive glaciers, which hold about 23 feet (7 meters) of potential sea level rise within their ice.
Accompanying DARPA Launches Initiative for Next-Gen US Microelectronics Manufacturing
Friday, 02 August 2024 16:52
The Next-Generation Microelectronics Manufacturing (NGMM) program is set to revolutionize U.S. microelectronics production through a new agreement to establish the first national center dedicated to advancing domestic microelectronics manufacturing.
DARPA is collaborating with the University of Texas at Austin and its Texas Institute for Electronics research center to form a consortium sup Mesoscale Discoveries in Ferroelectric Materials Could Revolutionize Electronics
Friday, 02 August 2024 16:52
In electronic technologies, critical material properties change in response to stimuli like voltage or current. Scientists strive to understand these changes at various scales, from the nanoscale to the microscale. However, the often-overlooked mesoscale - spanning 10 billionths to 1 millionth of a meter - is now coming into focus.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argon New catalyst developed from nanoscale cubes
Friday, 02 August 2024 16:52
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created innovative sheets of transition metal chalcogenide "cubes" linked by chlorine atoms. Unlike the widely studied atom-based sheets such as graphene, the team's research introduces the novel use of clusters. They successfully formed nanoribbons within carbon nanotubes for structural analysis and also created microscale sheets of cubes, whi Experiment on photosynthesis is heading to the space station to explore effects of microgravity
Friday, 02 August 2024 14:20
An experiment aimed at learning more about how plants grow in space will be aboard a National Aeronautics and Space Administration launch in early August from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
A Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft perched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will carry the plants to the orbiting laboratory, where astronauts will tend to them before the plants are returned to Earth.
The experiment created by scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will look at how two different types of grass grow on the space station. A PNNL team led by biologist Pubudu Handakumbura designed the experiment and will compare the results from space to identical plants being grown at the Kennedy Space Center.
