SQUIRE aims to detect exotic spin-dependent interactions using quantum sensors deployed in space, where speed and environmental conditions vastly improve sensitivity. Orbiting sensors tap into Earth’s ...

As the complexity of space missions—such as Earth–Moon transport and deep-space exploration—continues to increase, the classical Keplerian two-body model can no longer meet the precision requirements ...

In April, for the first time ever, an Earth observation satellite found what it was looking for, all on its own.

At the start of the year, Earth will quietly reach a milestone in its orbit around the sun. Known as perihelion, this is the moment when our planet is closer to the sun than at any other point in the ...

Over 14,000 satellites, 120 million bits of debris in key orbits Tracking, managing clutter crucial to safe orbiting, UN says Panel calls for greater international cooperation, data sharing BENGALURU, ...

A collision would occur in just 2.8 days if all satellites lost their ability to dodge each other, highlighting how crowded Earth’s orbit is becoming. In the past seven years, the number of satellites ...
