America’s much-anticipated return to the Moon carries a lot more weight than just NASA’s exploration aims—for the DoD, it’s an essential opportunity to ensure the US maintains superiority and freedom in the space domain.
The concept that we could beam unlimited, concentrated solar energy from space down to Earth via microwaves has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. Until recently, though, space-based solar power was purely theoretical.
Nations around the world are racing to find, land near, and utilize water ice on the lunar surface. That race just got a little more interesting.
The Space Development Agency (SDA) awarded another batch of big ticket contracts yesterday to the three companies that will build the Tranche 2 Tracking Layer of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA).
LA-based satellite manufacturer Apex Space Systems has assembled, integrated, and tested its first satellite bus less than a year after beginning the design process.
Despite the millennia humanity has spent looking up at the stars and pondering their existence, and despite all the fancy tools we’ve dreamed up and built to help clarify the cosmos, the precise process of star formation is still an enigma—let alone the details of the rest of the long, slow lifetime of any individual star.
