Hyperspectral imaging from sensors mounted on satellites has profoundly changed the way objects are viewed on Earth, other planets, and the space in between using different wavelengths of light reflected by objects that create a detailed spectral fingerprint. Extreme high-resolution details of images on the ground and in space can be seen, monitored, and tracked…

Satellite internet is supposed to connect people who otherwise face limited choices — or have no other options — for internet service. While satellite generally isn’t faster than fiber optic, it’s easier and cheaper to install, particularly in rural areas and other hard-to-reach places. As a result, the industry has billed this technology as a…

Arctic Space Technologies will construct a satellite network portal (SNP) for OneWeb, a hyperscale satellite ground station installation at the Arctic Space Technologies’ Space Center in Piteå in Northern Sweden. The companies signed a bilateral agreement late last year, and have now finalized the detailed design work as well as obtained all approvals for the…

ST. LOUIS—As space becomes increasingly competitive, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is helping its Defense Department partners keep tabs on the space domain, the agency’s director said on Monday. “And make no mistake, distinguishing friendly from unfriendly behavior in space has become particularly important to us,” Vice Adm. Frank Whitworth said at the annual GEOINT…

The past few years has seen an upsurge in activity in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO), led by megaconstellations of broadband satellites from SpaceX’s Starlink and OneWeb, followed by flocks of Earth observation, IoT, and military satellites. Within the next decade, Amazon’s Project Kuiper and Telesat’s Lightspeed constellations will send even more smallsats into that orbit. Meanwhile,…
