Could a laser no more powerful than a household nightlight create the future of satellite communications? From 36,000 kilometers above Earth, a Chinese geostationary satellite pulled off a feat that ...

In a remarkable demonstration of technological prowess, a Chinese satellite has reportedly outperformed SpaceX’s Starlink by ...

Traditional Earth observation missions transmit large volumes of raw satellite data to ground stations before any meaningful analysis can occur. In disaster situations, this process causes delays that ...

US Air Force provides Michigan with $2 million to enable orbiting satellites to share power and control by laser. Configuring a pulse shaper in Christopher Limbach’s lab. Large-scale satellite ...

When he's not battling bugs and robots in Helldivers 2, Michael is reporting on AI, satellites, cybersecurity, PCs, and tech policy.

Abstract: Space laser communication is being widely applied in inter-satellite networking of large constellations and high-speed satellite-ground data transmission. Restricted by the laser divergence ...

As artificial intelligence drives the need for vastly more computing storage and processing power, interest in space-based data centers has spiked. Although several startup companies, such as ...

While SpaceX has disabled 2,500 Starlink satellites used by notorious scam centers in Myanmar, you still want to take protective measures into your own hands. Joe Supan is a senior writer for CNET ...

Abstract: Low-earth-orbit (LEO) mega-constellations with inter-satellite links (ISLs) are becoming the Internet backbone in space. Satellites within LEO often need the capability to enforce data ...

Technically, the backbone of Starlink's performance boost lies in advanced AI models that handle complex tasks like laser inter-satellite links and adaptive modulation, achieving throughput ...
