Revolutionary X-Ray navigation system to be used on CubeSat mission
..., the first discovered millisecond pulsar was recorded as having a pulse period of 1.6 milliseconds. This means that the neutron star rotates at an astonishing 640 times each second. These pulsations are highly predictable, and can be compared to the...
