Momentus to fly FOSSA systems PocketPod
Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) has entered into an agreement to fly a PocketPod for FOSSA Systems ("FOSSA"), a Spanish company that offers global low-power Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and in-space services through its satellite constellation, on a Vigoride mission targeted to launch in October 2023.
Under the agreement with Momentus, FOSSA will be launching a picosatellite deployer Solving a machine-learning mystery
Large language models like OpenAI's GPT-3 are massive neural networks that can generate human-like text, from poetry to programming code. Trained using troves of internet data, these machine-learning models take a small bit of input text and then predict the text that is likely to come next.
But that's not all these models can do. Researchers are exploring a curious phenomenon known as in- Momentus Vigoride-5 Status Update #2
Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS), a U.S. commercial space company reports that its Vigoride-5 Orbital Service Vehicle launched on the SpaceX Transporter-6 mission on January 3 continues to be in good health and that the team is continuing to fully commission the vehicle in preparation for further on-orbit operations.

A new generation of AI chatbots has unleashed a titanic battle between Microsoft and Google for the eyeballs of billions of web users, and the dollars they bring.
Microsoft has gone all-in with a multibillion-dollar investment in OpenAI, the firm behind the world's most buzzy bot ChatGPT, hoping to revolutionise its unloved Bing search engine.

At the FIRA international agricultural robotics forum, GEODNET announces initial availability of a Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), Centimeter Precision, GNSS Corrections Service for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Systems Integrators.
GEODNET is compatible with thousands of fielded GNSS receivers from all major brands, on-vehicle automated steering and spraying kits, as well as the Researchers focus AI on finding exoplanets
New research from the University of Georgia reveals that artificial intelligence can be used to find planets outside of our solar system. The recent study demonstrated that machine learning can be used to find exoplanets, information that could reshape how scientists detect and identify new planets very far from Earth.

In 2015, when NASA's New Horizons spacecraft encountered the Pluto-Charon system, the Southwest Research Institute-led science team discovered interesting, geologically active objects instead of the inert icy orbs previously envisioned. An SwRI scientist has revisited the data to explore the source of cryovolcanic flows and an obvious belt of fractures on Pluto's large moon Charon. These new mod Fundamentals of Space Missions
The newly released book "Fundamentals of Space Missions: Problems with Solutions" (ISBN 9798985668742) provides a comprehensive guide for students, instructors, and professionals alike in the field of space systems and missions.

Southampton researchers have developed the world's first robust method for estimating the value and mass of space junk.
A fully circular economy for space—removing space junk and reusing or recycling it—is a viable possibility to safeguard the future for satellites and space exploration, according to new research from the University of Southampton.
The research estimates there is billions, potentially trillions, of dollars' worth of recyclable materials, in the form of space junk (mission debris and defunct satellites), orbiting the Earth. Knowing what is 'out there' will enable viable solutions to the growing problem to be effectively and justifiably pursued.
Space junk is a form of pollution that poses a threat to future space exploration and satellites—which we rely heavily on here on Earth.
As of January 2021, the US Space Surveillance Network reported 21,901 artificial objects in orbit around Earth, including almost 4,500 functioning satellites. But these are just the objects large enough to be tracked. There is also estimated to be more than 128 million pieces of debris smaller than 1cm, more than 900,000 pieces measuring 1cm to 10cm, and 34,000 pieces larger than 10cm.
Europe’s next radar satellite tip-top for flight
Following its arrival at Thales Alenia Space’s cleanroom facilities in the south of France last October, Europe’s next radar satellite, Copernicus Sentinel-1C, has been put through its paces in a series of tests and demonstrated that it is in tip-top condition for flight. Engineers have also carried out the all-important and precise check to ensure that the satellite fits on the adapter that connects it to the rocket that will take it into orbit.
