AI challenge advances satellite-based disaster mapping
Four teams from different countries have been recognised for their breakthrough work in using artificial intelligence to detect earthquake damage from space, marking the conclusion of a global competition organised by the European Space Agency in collaboration with the International Charter ‘Space and Major Disasters’ – commonly referred to as ‘the Charter’.
Newly Detected Twisting Magnetic Waves Offer Clues to Corona Heating
Scientists have reported the first clear evidence of twisting magnetic waves in the Sun's corona, detected with the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope operated by the National Solar Observatory. For decades, the cause of the corona's high temperature, millions of degrees above the solar surface, has puzzled researchers. The team, led by Richard Morton of Northumbria University, focused on torsiona Iridium develops compact chip for robust global GPS protection
Iridium Communications Inc. has announced a miniature, application-specific integrated circuit, the Iridium PNT ASIC, designed to safeguard a wide range of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) devices from jamming, spoofing, and timing disruptions. The ASIC is intended for integration into consumer, industrial, and government equipment, delivering pole-to-pole authenticated positioning, nav Sidus Space and Lonestar establish commercial agreement for LizzieSat 5 orbital data storage mission
Sidus Space has finalized a mission agreement with Lonestar Data Holdings to deploy Lonestar's high-capacity digital data storage payload with edge processing aboard LizzieSat 5, a low Earth orbit satellite within the Sidus LizzieSat micro-constellation.
The partnership enables Sidus to design, develop, and integrate the Lonestar payload as well as oversee deployment and payload validation Astronomical data collection of Taurus Molecular Cloud-1 reveals over 100 different molecules
MIT researchers recently studied a region of space called the Taurus Molecular Cloud-1 (TMC-1) and discovered more than 100 different molecules floating in the gas there - more than in any other known interstellar cloud. They used powerful radio telescopes capable of detecting very faint signals across a wide range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.
With over 1,400 observing h Systematic neutrino search narrows origins for high-energy cosmic particles
A research team from Tohoku University led the first systematic optical search for counterparts to a high-energy neutrino multiplet event detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Multiplet events involve multiple neutrinos observed from a single direction in a short period, and may point to powerful cosmic phenomena such as supernovae or stars disrupted by black holes.
The team analyz Australian company Hypersonix secures major defence and aerospace investment for green hydrogen hypersonic flight
Hypersonix Launch Systems, based in Brisbane, recently completed a $46 million Series A funding round led by High Tor Capital of the UK, with support from Saab and RKKVC, as well as participation by the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC) and Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC). The investment will accelerate the development of reusable hydrogen-powered hypersonic aircraft design ESA’s first stand-alone deep-space CubeSat Henon takes shape
The European Space Agency’s upcoming Henon mission will be the first ever CubeSat to independently venture into deep space, communicate with Earth and manoeuvre to its final destination without relying on a bigger spacecraft. Once in its orbit around the Sun, the carry-on luggage-sized CubeSat will observe the Sun’s emissions to demonstrate technologies capable of providing advanced warnings of solar storms hours before they reach Earth.
Slingshot Aerospace begins UK contract to expand satellite tracking network
Slingshot Aerospace has secured a contract with the UK Space Agency to improve the United Kingdom's capability to track and characterize satellites and orbital debris. The Provision of Optical Delivery Partner contract increases UK sovereign space domain awareness as the number of operational satellites continues to grow, with 12,000 active satellites in orbit today and 100,000 expected by 2030.
