... within the next 10 years. Skylon, capable of lifting a 15,000 kg payload to low Earth orbits, will require a more sophisticated kind of operating base to that of the sub-orbital spaceplanes. In fact, it is not really a spaceplane at all, but more...
... in creating data stacks that can add specific industry and decision intelligence to an array of industries. The low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation-based satellite services - including Internet, IoT, AIS, ADS-B, GPS-RO - integrate into different...
... 3D printed rocket fuel. The company is developing a three-stage rocket capable of launching up to 380 kg into low Earth orbit. Initially, it may not be possible to do it alone, but over several iterations of the Talisman Sabre exercise, Australia...
...regulating chemicals produced or imported in the EU. Part of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) solar array returned from low Earth orbit by astronauts after the HST’s first service mission, showing the atomic oxygen protection silicone coating to have...
... global broadband, while Google and Samsung are also mulling similar initiatives. With all these satellites, low-Earth orbit - at an altitude of 2,000km (1,200 miles) or less above the planet - is becoming an increasingly crowded space. When I spoke...
... of Things (IoT) applications. Some of these are designed to provide low latency (low signal delay) mobile broadband communications and thus need to be operated from low Earth orbit (LEO), with very large numbers of satellites required to provide...
