GMV technology links global habitats in record-breaking space analog mission
The World's Biggest Analog Mission (WBA) - the most extensive Moon and Mars simulation campaign ever conducted - has officially launched. Coordinated by the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF), the project unites 17 institutions across five continents to replicate the daily life and research operations of future off-Earth settlements. Central to this planetary-scale experiment is GMV's advanced Operatio How a trick from radio astronomy could help astronomers find Earth-like planets

ESA-supported test leads to better in-flight connectivity
Better in-flight streaming and video-calling might just become more accessible thanks to a project supported by the European Space Agency (ESA). Building upon the success of an experiment for a new type of antenna terminal together with ESA, Viasat – a global leader in satellite communications – now plans to commercialise its new in-flight connectivity solution called Viasat Amara.
Sentinel-4 offers first glimpses of air pollutants
The new Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission has delivered its first images, highlighting concentrations of atmospheric nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and ozone. Despite being preliminary, these images mark a major milestone in Europe’s ability to monitor air quality all the way from geostationary orbit, 36 000 kilometres above Earth.

A new analysis could map the ancient history of Earth's surface
Earth's Ediacaran Period, roughly 630 to 540 million years ago, has always been something of a magnetic minefield for scientists.
During earlier and later time periods, tectonic plates kept a steady pace, climate zones were normal, and the planet's magnetic field wobbled modestly around the north and south poles (while occasionally reversing).
But the physics of the Ediacaran don't s SkyFi Expands ATAK Plugin for Real Time Satellite Imagery Access in the Field
SkyFi has announced a significant update to its Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) plugin, enhancing its ability to deliver high resolution commercial satellite imagery and Earth intelligence data directly to mobile tactical users. The new version introduces improved control over Areas of Interest (AOIs), streamlined imagery management, and robust offline functionality for teams operating in remo ICEYE and IHI to Develop Japan's Next Generation Earth Observation Satellite Constellation
ICEYE, a global leader in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite operations, has signed a procurement agreement with IHI Corporation of Japan to build a large-scale Earth observation satellite constellation serving defense, civil, and commercial applications.
Under the contract, IHI has ordered four satellites and an associated image acquisition system, with an option to purchase up to 2
