SpaceX wants to bring satellite internet to Iran: Musk
SpaceX will apply for an exemption from US sanctions against Iran in a bid to offer its satellite internet service to the country, owner Elon Musk said on Monday.
"Starlink will apply for an exemption from sanctions against Iran," Musk said in response to a tweet from a science reporter.
Musk had initially announced that the Starlink satellite internet service had been made available on Space archaeologists's offer first consultancy firm for orbital habitats
Three well-known space archaeologists have opened a new consultancy firm, offering advice to builders and designers of any future space stations or other off-planet living arrangements.
The goal of Brick Moon is to help clients "create orbital or planetary habitats that improve productivity, reduce costs, and support crew well-being," according to its mission statement.
The compa Vandenberg hosts 2nd Annual Assured Access to Space Industry Days Forum
A new, exciting age in Space has begun, with established companies such as NASA, SpaceX, and the United Launch Alliance staking their claim in the space launch industry. And in this new age, comes competition, with companies emerging through the woodworks to throw their hat into the ring.
On September 15 and 16, Vandenberg Space Force Base held the second annual Assured Access to Space (AA Planet Partners with Taylor Geospatial Institute to leverage data food security and more
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about Earth, has announced that they have entered into a multi-year contract with Saint Louis University in support of the Taylor Geospatial Institute (TGI), a leading geospatial research collaborative.
Bringing together eight midwestern universities and research centers, TGI aims to harness innovation in geospatial Leading scientists develop space tech platform to track carbon in every tree
Non-profit CTrees is launching the first ever digital platform for calculating the carbon in every tree on the planet, with complete accuracy. Launching at COP27, the new platform offers high-accuracy, AI-enabled satellite data products that allow countries, jurisdictions, the private sector, and civil society to measure, report, and verify (MRV) both carbon emissions and removals from all types James Webb Space Telescope sends back pictures of Mars
NASA announced Monday that the James Webb Space Telescope captured the blinding infrared light from Mars earlier this month.
The images show the eastern hemisphere of Mars in different wavelengths of infrared light. NASA said that the new images will help advance scientific study of the red planet.
"Webb can capture images and spectra with the spectral resolution needed to study ESA deep space network tracks DART asteroid impact

Invent tomorrow’s driving with NAVISP
The way we drive is evolving rapidly, trending towards progressively more automated vehicles and smarter road infrastructure. ESA’s NAVISP programme, in cooperation with new partner ERTICO-ITS, the organisation for intelligent transport systems in Europe, invites ideas from European industry, institutions and research institutes to support this trend through the provision of ‘positioning, navigation and timing’ (PNT) information to let vehicles know exactly where and when they are as they drive.
New exoplanet detection program for citizen scientists
The SETI Institute and its partner Unistellar are launching a new exoplanet detection program that will engage citizen scientists worldwide. Amateur astronomers, using either Unistellar's eVscope or another telescope, will be invited to help confirm exoplanet candidates identified by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) by observing possible exoplanet transits from Earth.
Most known exoplanets have been detected using the transit method, most notably by the Kepler Mission and now TESS. A transit is when a planet passes between its star and the observer, who will see the star dimming as the planet orbits. The demand for follow-up observations of transiting exoplanets is greater than ever. There are currently more than 5,100 confirmed exoplanets, with thousands more detections to be confirmed. This program will focus its efforts on exo-Jupiters detected by those NASA missions.
Some estimates suggest that TESS will identify more than 10,000 exoplanet candidates.
