The US space agency announced that its Voyager-1 probe is now transmitting usable information back to Earth, following a period of incoherent signals. This milestone has been achieved despite the spacecraft's age of 46 years, making it humanity's most distant object. A computer malfunction had previously halted the return of intelligible data since November; however, engineers have successfully rectified this issue.

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is working in collaboration with the European Space Agency's (ESA) Navigation Innovation Support Programme (NAVISP) and the UK Space Agency (UKSA) to develop the next generation of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) technologies.

Lynred has announced its selection, in an open bidding process, to develop an advanced multispectral infrared detector for the Sentinel-2 Next-Generation (NG) land monitoring satellite mission; the continuation of the Sentinel-2 mission. Both missions are led by the European Space Agency (ESA), within the framework of the European Commission Copernicus NG program.

Spaceport Cornwall is a name we are hearing more and more in the Aerospace and Defence industry, but what and where is Spaceport Cornwall?

Radiation, vacuum, and substantial temperature fluctuations: extreme conditions prevail in space, presenting a tough challenge for satellite communications. With the Fraunhofer On-Board Processor (FOBP), experiments can be conducted in space to explore whether new technologies are operational under real conditions. The FOBP passed its final tests last week and has begun its service on board the Heinrich Hertz satellite of the German Space Agency ...
