New orbital mapping system targets Earth Moon libration trafficTokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 14, 2026 As lunar exploration intensifies, the cislunar space is experiencing increasing congestion. Traditional two body Keplerian elements, which have long been the standard for Earth orbiting objects, prove insufficient for accurately describing the complex orbits near the Earth Moon Lagrange points due to the chaotic and non integrable nature of three body dynamics. This fundamental deficiency

When 5G networks bolster satellite navigationTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 26, 2025 Finding accurate positions in dense urban areas remains difficult for satellite-based navigation systems, where high-rise buildings and signal blockages can cause large errors or complete loss of service. A recent study outlines a deeply integrated positioning method that combines commercial 5G New Radio (NR) signals with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to address these issues. By rei

Martian sound study models acoustic signals in Jezero craterLos Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 05, 2025 Acoustic signals have been important markers during NASA's Mars missions. Measurements of sound can provide information both about Mars itself - such as turbulence in its atmosphere, changes in its temperature, and its surface conditions - and about the movement of the Mars rovers. Using these sound measurements to the best extent possible requires an accurate understanding of how sound pr

How smarter satellite teamwork can speed up connections in spaceTokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 20, 2025 Low Earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellations are rapidly changing how we connect to the world, offering potential for faster communications, more accurate earth observation, and better disaster forecasting. Unlike previous, smaller satellite configurations, these mega-constellations involve thousands of satellites operating together, creating huge challenges for ground-based controllers struggling
Ensuring the accuracy of ESA’s FORUM climate missionIMAGE

Ensuring the accuracy of ESA’s FORUM climate missionThe European Space Agency’s upcoming FORUM mission is set to provide unique insights into Earth’s radiation budget, filling in a missing piece in the climate puzzle. The mission’s spectrometer will be the first space-based instrument to measure Earth’s outgoing radiation in the far-infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum with unprecedented resolution and accuracy. New technologies were needed to make this possible – among these an on-ground calibration device developed by the National Metrology Institute of Germany PTB within a recent activity funded by ESA’s General Support Technology Programme. This device is used to calibrate FORUM’s onboard reference source and ensures the accurate operation of the spectrometer.

Galileo R&D tests new uplink antennaIMAGE

Galileo R&D tests new uplink antennaGalileo relies on ground-based uplink stations (ULS) to maintain accurate positioning for users worldwide. These stations transmit essential data to the satellites, including the information required to compute the satellites' orbits and clock corrections. Traditionally, such messages are sent using dish antennas. However, a new type of ground uplink antenna – a phased array antenna – was recently tested at the European Space Agency’s (ESA) site in Redu, Belgium. Developed under ESA's Horizon 2020 programme for R&D, which aims to keep Galileo up to date with the latest innovations, this innovative antenna could benefit Galileo operations.

First sea-level records for coastal community protectionWhile satellites have revolutionised our ability to measure sea level with remarkable precision, their data becomes less reliable near coasts – where accurate information is most urgently needed. To address this critical gap, ESA’s Climate Change Initiative Sea Level Project research team has reprocessed almost two decades of satellite data to establish a pioneering network of ‘virtual’ coastal stations. These stations now provide, for the first time, reliable and consistent sea-level measurements along coastlines.

Hubble investigates a magnetar’s birthplaceResearchers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the magnetar SGR 0501+4516 was not born in a neighbouring supernova as previously thought. The birthplace of this object is now unknown, and SGR 0501+4516 is the likeliest candidate in our galaxy for a magnetar that was not born in a supernova. This discovery was made possible by Hubble’s sensitive instruments as well as highly accurate reference data from the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft.
