Intelligent Control System Enhances Space Reactor Performance under Uncertainty
Tuesday, 03 June 2025 06:46
Researchers from the University of South China, Tsinghua University, and the Technical University of Munich have developed an advanced uncertainty model and intelligent control system that improves the responsiveness and adaptability of space nuclear reactors in complex environments. The new system boasts faster response times, higher control accuracy, and stronger adaptability to changing condi SpaceX launches more Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit
Tuesday, 03 June 2025 06:46
SpaceX early Tuesday launched a Falcon 9 rocket loaded with a batch of Starlink satellites into space from the East Coast.
The rocket launched at 12:43 a.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The mission was to put a batch of 23 Starlink satellites, 13 of which have direct-to-cell capabilities, into low-Earth orbit, where they will Northrop Grumman Commits $50 Million to Firefly Aerospace to Drive Eclipse Medium Launch Vehicle

Tuesday, 03 June 2025 06:46
The Milky Way may not have a catastrophic collision with another huge galaxy as has been predicted, computer simulations revealed Monday, giving our home galaxy a coin-flip chance of avoiding destruction.
But don't worry either way: no galactic smash-up is expected for billions of years, long after our ageing Sun will have burnt away all life on Earth.
The Milky Way and the even-larger g Japan's dense GNSS network captures unprecedented 3D sound wave patterns after Noto Peninsula quake
Tuesday, 03 June 2025 06:46
Earthquakes generate ripple effects in the Earth's upper atmosphere, which can disrupt essential satellite-based communications and navigation systems. A team at Nagoya University, in collaboration with others, has now used Japan's extensive GNSS receiver network to produce the first-ever 3D images of atmospheric disturbances caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
