A British startup that lost its first satellite is getting $41 million from NATO and investors to launch a heat-detecting space constellation. The technology reveals hidden activity on the ground that regular satellites can't see.
Scientists created a tool that helps satellites gather climate data without turning space into a debris field. It could protect astronauts and satellites as orbital traffic explodes toward 100,000 spacecraft by 2030.
A Canadian company just launched the first working network of satellites that talk to each other using lasers, turning space into a real-time data highway. Firefighters could soon track wildfires as they spread, second by second, from orbit.
Engineers at the University of Illinois just created spacecraft waveguides that fold like paper shopping bags, making satellites lighter and cheaper to launch. The origami-inspired design compresses for liftoff, then expands to full size in space.
Morocco just launched a high-resolution satellite that can spot environmental threats from space, giving the country a powerful new tool to prevent disasters and protect forests. The technology allows authorities to respond faster to fires, earthquakes, and deforestation before they become catastrophes.
A weather intelligence company is launching a powerful new satellite constellation that could revolutionize how we predict storms, plan supply chains, and save lives. The AI-powered system will gather atmospheric data at a scale never before possible.
