France has set a world record by establishing a stable laser communication link between a nano-satellite and a commercial ground station. The experiment, involving the French Defense Innovation Agency (AID) and New Space companies Unseenlabs and Cailabs, used the Keraunos satellite to test innovative communication technologies. Optical communication offers significant advantages over radio, such as faster speeds, enhanced discretion, and fewer regulatory hurdles. The successful test, reported in summer 2024, signals a leap forward in space communication technology, alongside NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration similar advancements in laser data transmission. #SatelliteCommunication #LaserTech #OpticalCommunication #SpaceInnovation #FranceInnovation #NewSpace #AID #Keraunos #Cailabs #NASA Visit Our Website: https://bankopedia.pk/

Some interesting facts about an upcoming launch of a satellite, which NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration contracted Kongsberg NanoAvionics to build : - Satellite BUS (the whole thing without the payload) was designed and assembled by NanoAvionics - The satellite BUS traveled to NASA facilities for payload integration in USA - The satellite with integrated payload traveled to New Zealand - The satellite is going to be launched into 1000km orbit with a small rocket called "Electron" - The satellite will deploy a 80-square-meter solar sail (for reference that's a larger area than most flats in Vilnius have 😇 ) So a single mission managed to address many different and important aspects: - Cooperation with NASA ✔ - Travel all around the world ✔ - Get launched on a private space company launch vehicle ✔ - Test cutting edge technology ✔ #NewSpace #nanosatellites #smallsats

Critical missions such as the study of asteroid deflection and how this can protect Earth from future natural threats require purpose-built solutions such as the GR712RC dual-core microprocessor from Frontgrade Gaisler. Bon voyage to European Space Agency - ESA's HERA Mission! #spacecomputing #HERAmission
🚀 The HERA mission, part of European Space Agency - ESA's planetary defence strategy, is preparing to explore the Didymos binary asteroid system, including its smaller moon, Dimorphos. Scheduled for launch today, October 7 at 10:52 a.m. EDT (14:52 UTC) aboard a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, HERA will arrive at Dimorphos in late 2026. The mission will focus on studying the aftermath of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s DART mission, which successfully altered Dimorphos' orbit in September 2022 by 33 minutes after a deliberate impact. HERA’s objective is to gather critical data to enhance our understanding of asteroid deflection techniques, a key component of planetary defence. At the core of HERA’s onboard computer systems is the GR712RC dual-core microprocessor, ensuring high-performance data processing, and the GR718B SpaceWire router, enabling reliable communication between the spacecraft’s subsystems. We are always proud to support pioneering space systems with our technology! #spacecomputing #HERAmission Reference: https://lnkd.in/dxPMU-f5

Bringing the ISS back to Earth! NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has awarded SpaceX an $843 million contract to develop the United States Deorbit Vehicle (USDV). This vehicle will be responsible for safely guiding the International Space Station (ISS) back to Earth around 2030. The decision comes after NASA deemed a controlled deorbit the safest and most viable option, rejecting alternatives like disassembly or commercial handover. While the ISS is currently slated for retirement in 2030, NASA has included provisions for potential extensions, allowing the USDV to remain grounded until the mid-2030s if needed. The USDV program's cost is estimated at $1.5 billion, a figure reflecting the complexity of safely deorbiting a structure the size of a football stadium. #SpaceX #NASA #ISS

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration is set to test advanced tools designed to measure the quieter sonic thumps from its X-59 supersonic aircraft. These innovative shock-sensing probes will collect detailed pressure data during supersonic flights, validating computer models that predict shock wave strength. One probe will capture near-field data while the other focuses on mid-field measurements. Using an F-15B aircraft, NASA will gather real-time data to compare against predictions, enhancing our understanding of shockwaves. With upgrades to improve accuracy and response time, this project highlights NASA's commitment to adapting technology for new challenges.
