...NASA announcement on commercial platforms. Today, Nanoracks is creating the stepping stones in LEO (low Earth orbit) and GEO (geostationary orbit) that will allow us to populate the solar system with commercial laboratories. We are beginning to focus...
... LEO/GEO interference. Twenty years ago the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) declared that NGSO (non-geostationary orbit) craft carry the responsibility for avoiding interference with GEO satellites. Consequently, the need to mitigate the...
... I moved office furniture! Perhaps I should have said Rocket Scientist! Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellites operate in geostationary orbit nearly 36,000 km over the west coast of Africa, from where they continuously scan the globe, showing...
... of data for weather forecasting from geostationary orbit into the next decades and will also...Temperature Monitoring satellite has been launched into a low-Earth polar orbit, it will start to map rates of evapotranspiration with unprecedented fidelity...
... demonstrated similar capabilities. And now, a Russian Luch satellite is manoeuvring from one satellite to another in geostationary orbit. Apart from potentially hostile activities, we face a threat from the growing population of space debris. This...
... seen by radio telescopes on Earth because they are blocked by our ionosphere. If we could position a radio telescope up at geostationary orbit (GEO) or higher, well above the ionosphere, we could observe and characterise these short-lived phenomena...
