London (AFP) Nov 7, 2025
British telecoms giant Vodafone and US group AST SpaceMobile on Friday said they had chosen Germany to base satellite operations aimed at enhancing high-speed connectivity to remote areas of Europe.
The joint venture, named SatCo and first announced in March, aims to "further strengthen Europe's digital sovereignty", the two companies said in a statement.

A new study from NYU Tandon School of Engineering finds China now produces nearly half of all peer-reviewed remote sensing publications, while the US accounts for just 9 percent - a reversal from six decades ago. Tracking more than 126,000 papers published between 1961 and 2023, the study outlines China's rapid rise in this field, having grown from minimal output prior to the 1990s to 47 percent

Arctic sea ice has declined by more than 42% since 1979, when regular satellite monitoring began. As the ice grows thinner and recedes, more water is exposed to sunlight. Ice reflects sunlight but dark water absorbs it, advancing warming and accelerating ice loss.
