Hundreds ofXilinx's Space Grade FPGAs were deployed in the launch of the Iridium NEXT satellites. Space Grade Virtex-5QV devices provide scalability and flexibility for new applications and innovations throughout its operational life in space. Iridium NEXT is the company’s next-gen satellite constellation, replacing and enhancing its existing network of low-Earth orbit satellites spanning the entire globe.

Remote sensing maps of the forest canopy in Peru test the strength of current forest protections and identify new regions for conservation effort, according to a report led by Carnegie's Greg Asner published inScience.

After spending months in space, quietly orbiting the Earth, the next-generation geosynchronous satellite has broken its silence and sent back its first images. On Jan. 23, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released the GOES-16 “first light” true-colour images of Earth in high resolution.

Members of the media are invited to visit TE Connectivity at booth #03-C27 for IDEX 2017, an international strategic defence exhibition and conference. TE will showcase lightweight connectivity solutions for rugged military defence systems.

A NASA technologist has teamed with the inventor of a nanotechnology that could transform the way space scientists build spectrometers, the all-important device used by virtually all scientific disciplines to measure the properties of light emanating from astronomical objects, including Earth itself.

The future of autonomous driving is “made-in-Europe”. The European Agency for the global navigation satellite systems (GSA) has kicked-off ESCAPE, a three year and €5.4m project to exploit the services offered by Galileo, the European satellite navigation system, in the field of the automated driving.

The annual 'IBM 5 in 5' has been unveiled by IBM – a list of innovations with the potential to change the way people work, live, and interact during the next five years.In 1609, Galileo invented the telescope and saw our cosmos in an entirely new way. He proved the theory that Earth and other planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun, which until then was impossible to observe.

HiRel, an Infineon Technologies company, has launched its first radiation hardened MOSFETs based on the proprietary N-channel R9 technology platform. Compared to previous technologies, the company claims that it is offering size, weight and power improvements. This is significant in systems such as high-throughput satellites, where the cost-per-bit-ratio can be significantly reduced.

Australian National University physicists have invented a tiny device that creates the highest quality holographic images ever achieved, opening the door to imaging technologies seen in science fiction movies such as Star Wars.Lead researcher Lei Wang said the team created complex holographic images in infrared with the invention that could be developed with industry."As a child, I learned about the concept of holographic imaging from the Star Wa...

Fabless IC vendor in Taiwan,Faraday Technology Corporation, has been provided with NEC Corporation's CyberWorkBench, a design tool capable of synthesising Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)/Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) circuits from the C programming language.Faraday is utilising CyberWorkBench (CWB) to design FPGA for communication control.
