And back to having rusty broken dishes on every building. UGLY! “The migration to using LEO satellites to provide internet access has been made possible by the development of new, small, solid state, low-profile, phased array antennas. These flat, pizza-box size antennas, referred to as Electronically Steered Antennas (ESAs), make it straightforward to track fast-moving LEO satellites.”
How will LEO satellites transform internet connectivity and enable digital inclusion for our world? Everything you need to know about the newest broadband trend.
A Mega Web – could be the perfect way to entrap ourselves on Earth – just so we can chat about how we got caught up by our own love of communication. Ashes to ashes.
Mega-constellations in space: revolutionising the satellite industry
Mega-constellations have brought with them a game changing approach to satellites, revolutionising how we create space systems. Through bringing in automation to the build process and a…
Data from Space-Track.org allowed Corby-based electronic company RS Components to analyse just how many bits of debris are currently orbiting Earth and which country they belong to.
Maybe, but don’t shoot yourselves in the foot – satellites are finding polluters more than they are adding to it, according to most sources including this in the WSJ.
Who Are the World’s Biggest Climate Polluters? Satellites Sweep for Culprits
Governments are turning to the technology to expose hidden sources of greenhouse-gas emissions and monitor compliance with global pacts—as well as to point fingers at each other.
Spaceship Neptune isn’t powered by rockets but is lifted 30 kilometers above the Earth by a gigantic balloon, big enough to fit a whole football stadium inside.
The uses for duct tape seem to be endless. From the Apollo missions in the 1970’s to the International Space Station today, duct tape has been used as quick fixes and semi-permanent solutions to a variety of tasks. In a story released today from NASA documenting the events of the Apollo 17 in 1972... Read more
The International Space Station was hit by an unknown object and left it with a 2mm hole. If the problem was left unfixed, the crew would have run out of air in just 18 days.

Good for sailors and adventurers, not sure if the rest of us need all these satellites though, I already got online.

The UK’s Daily (hate) Mail reports that the US has just, ahem, 2 pieces more junk in space as the Russians. Go figure.

duct tape, the life-saver
This is the video I saw the crew member fix something with good ole, “gaffa tape”. Priceless
