📃Scientific paper: Spacecraft Coatings Optimizing LiDAR Debris Tracking and Light Pollution Impacts Abstract: Space safety and astronomy are at odds. The problem posed by space debris and derelict satellites in the low Earth orbit is an existential threat to all space operations. These dangerous objects in space are more easily tracked with ground-based LiDAR if they are highly reflective, especially in the near-infrared (NIR) range. At the same time, reflective objects in orbit are the bane of ground-based astronomers, causing light pollution and marring images with bright streaks. How can this tension be resolved? The hypothesis tested is that a near-infrared-transparent (NIRT) coating which is opaque in the visible light range and transparent in the NIR range is a promising candidate for use in satellite construction. This experiment tests whether typical spacecraft surfaces such as anodized aluminum or multi-layer insulation (MLI) with a NIRT coating applied will absorb visible light and reflect NIR. The findings confirm the efficacy of the NIRT coating for this purpose, reducing visible light reflection by 47% (+/-3%) and increasing reflection in the NIR by 7% (+/-2%). This promising novel NIRT coating may help provide a path forward to resolve the tension between astronomy and the space industry.

In the vast universe of SATELLITE imaging calibration, NASA boasts a colossal “analog checkerboard”—a 92-square-kilometer patch nestled in Nevada. It serves as the grandmaster of reference points for fine-tuning space sensors and cameras: a flat no-man’s land under cloudless skies. At Hexago Technologies, we champion 100% DIGITAL and SMALL-IS-BEAUTIFUL CALIBRATION. Our ReMap station, comparable in size to a MINI-FRIDGE, rectifies geometric distortions, chromatic aberrations, and zoom displacements. It achieves this correction for multiple imaging systems in under 60 SECONDS, addressing every pixel.  www.hexago-tech.com revolutionizes the accuracy of imaging systems M+M #earthobservation

🛰️ Have you ever wondered how the unseen particles in our atmosphere are constantly shaping the quality of the air we breathe? Thanks to advancements in earth science data collection and modeling, we're now able to illuminate the invisible forces, such as air quality, shaping our everyday life. 🌏 This recently released animation, fueled by the powerful GEOS-5 model, sheds light on the patterns behind aerosol transport - and the interconnections between Earths systems. Once airborne, particles like dust, black carbon, and sea salt can travel across continents and over oceans, influencing climate and weather patterns and altering air quality in communities across the globe. 🚀 NASA's GEOS-5 model fuses complex equations with measurements from an array of sources, including satellites, aircraft sensors, and ground instruments to simulate real-world conditions several times a day. Models such as GEOS-5, paired with compelling visualizations, are key to understanding the connections between Earth's systems, and driving informed decision-making.

💡 Webinar Recap: “Beyond Qubos: Efficient Quantum Optimization.” View highlights from QCi’s recent webinar where QCi’s Dr. Lac Nguyen, PhD Nguyen and Dr. Mohammad-Ali Miri delve into entropy computing and share a recent use case with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration using QCi’s latest entropy quantum optimization machine, Dirac-3. Watch the clip below as Dr. Nguyen explains how QCi has been helping NASA denoise the sunlight in satellite LiDAR images by using the Dirac-3 to simulate the background noise and turn the denoising problem into an optimization problem. Using entropy computing methods, QCi was able to cover major features on the LiDAR image where the signal was completely buried in 200X background noise.

A new EU project plans to expand adventures in the cosmos with a suitably space-age technology: lasers. The INPHOMIR initiative is developing the lasers to enhance spacecraft sensors. By emitting tiny pulses of light, the devices could improve the precision of satellite navigation. Their accuracy stems from their resistance to the harsh conditions of space. When vicious fog and dust descend upon satellites, traditional sensors are often impeded. These disruptions can have severe impacts. A tiny measurement error can cause chaos to space missions — and cost millions of euros. Lasers provide a promising safeguard. Their ability to function in…This story continues at The Next Web

NASA's latest experimental jet, the X-59, aims to minimize the sonic boom, a thunderous noise produced when supersonic aircraft break the sound barrier. Traditional jets create shock waves that result in this loud boom, but the X-59's slender, pointed design is engineered to direct sound waves away from the ground. Predicted to fly at Mach 1.4, or 925 miles per hour, the X-59 seeks to make supersonic commercial flight feasible again by reducing the noise to a level that might lift the 1974 ban on non-military supersonic jets flying over land. In 2025, NASA will test the X-59 over its Armstrong Flight Research Center in California, monitoring sound levels with ground recorders. By 2026, the jet will fly over major U.S. cities to gauge public reaction to its noise levels. This data, combined with technical findings, will be presented to regulators to support lifting the ban. Key design features include a T-tail to minimize aft shock, a high-thrust engine mounted on the upper side, and a long, tapered nose to break up shock waves. Inside, the X-59 uses an eXternal Vision System, replacing the central front window with a 4K monitor that displays live camera footage augmented with flight data. This setup helps pilots maintain visibility and control, essential for safely navigating supersonic speeds. NASA uses advanced supercomputers to simulate flight conditions and refine the jet’s design, aiming to reduce sonic booms through precise engineering adjustments. The goal is to create a quieter supersonic experience that could revolutionize air travel.

Teledyne Space Imaging has provided the key imaging and sensor instrumentation for the EarthCARE satellite, an advanced Earth climate monitoring project launched yesterday into space and jointly implemented by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The EarthCARE mission will enhance human knowledge of the role that aerosols and clouds play in our planet’s climate system. The satellite will use Teledyne Space Imaging’s instrumentation to capture data that will be sent back to the ground to assist in environmental monitoring and future decision-making. Teledyne Space Imaging has provided a custom charge coupled device (the CCD243) for the satellite’s ATLID instrument. This LIDAR instrument has a high-spectral resolution receiver and depolarisation channel to ensure the delivery of high-quality atmospheric data. This specialist CCD has a high temporal resolution allowing it to capture detailed vertical profiles of aerosols and thin clouds via sophisticated sensor technology. Gabriela Druitt, Director of Engineering at Teledyne Space Imaging says: “Our sensor technology will help the European Space Agency - ESA and JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency EarthCARE satellite deliver crucial insights, not only into how aerosols, clouds and precipitation influence the impact and effect of solar and infrared radiation on the planet, but what this could mean for how we tackle climate change.
