LEO internet satellites bolster navigation where GPS is weak
Wednesday, 10 December 2025 09:49
As intentional and unintentional interference with GPS grows worldwide, researchers have shown that radio signals from commercial low Earth orbit (LEO) internet constellations such as Starlink and OneWeb can provide an alternative source of navigation and positioning, especially in regions where GNSS performance is degraded. The new work indicates that passively received LEO signals can be turne MDA Space plans C250 million senior unsecured note issue maturing 2030
Wednesday, 10 December 2025 09:49
MDA Space Ltd. has arranged a private placement of C$250 million in 7.00 percent senior unsecured notes due 2030 under an underwriting agreement. The company expects the offering to close around December 23, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The notes will be issued at C$1,000 for each C$1,000 in principal.
The notes will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and MIT engineers design an aerial microrobot that can fly as fast as a bumblebee

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through tight spaces larger robots can't reach, while simultaneously dodging stationary obstacles and pieces of falling rubble.
So far, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along smooth t SLI and AscendArc agree on 200 million GEO satellite leasing framework
Wednesday, 10 December 2025 09:49
Aerospace asset finance firm SLI has signed heads of agreement to acquire two of AscendArc's next-generation Ka-band geostationary satellites, in a transaction valued at more than $200 million. The framework sits within a wider partnership that allows AscendArc to make its GEO spacecraft available on leasing terms instead of requiring customers to fund an outright purchase.

In its 50th anniversary year, European Space Agency (ESA) Member States have recommitted to space science. A historic budget increase for the Science Programme of 3.5% per year through to 2028, in addition to inflation, will enable some of the most ambitious missions ever, and bolster European leadership in space science.

Webb identifies earliest supernova to date
Tuesday, 09 December 2025 15:00
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the source of a super-bright flash of light known as a gamma-ray burst, generated by an exploding massive star when the Universe was only 730 million years old. For the first time for such a remote event, the telescope provided a detection of the supernova’s host galaxy. Webb’s quick-turnaround observations verified data taken by telescopes around the world that had been following the gamma-ray burst since it onset, which occurred in mid-March.
