Imagine — Dozens of low-cost, autonomous drones overwhelming radar capacity, avoid jamming zones, adapt their flight paths in near real-time, losing a third of the drones during mission? No issue, as the swarm recalculates and continues with the mission. Swarm drone...
The next generation of space-based gravitational wave observatories, such as LISA, TianQin, and Taiji, requires ultra-precise drag-free control and therefore micro-propulsion systems with thrust noise below 0.1μN/√Hz. This paper presents the design and experimental...
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has completed an in-orbit demonstration of its AI-based object detection system AIRIS, which identified ships from satellite imagery using a next-generation space-grade microprocessor unit. The AIRIS system, short for Artificial...
Open Cosmos presented eight new Earth observation satellites to advance Europe’s ability to monitor climate-related disasters and environmental threats from space at the European Space Agency (ESA) Earth Observation Commercialization Forum (CommEO). The final design...
Liquid rocket engine injectors play a fundamental role in determining combustion efficiency, stability, and overall propulsion performance. This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of liquid-injector technologies used in space propulsion systems, with...
Rohde & Schwarz has added Pulsar signal simulation to its signal generator portfolio, giving device manufacturers a route to test receivers for Xona’s planned low Earth orbit (LEO) navigation service. The capability is aimed at production and validation...
