High-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging – the technology that enables “x-ray vision” from space through clouds and darkness – is poised for explosive growth this decade. Governments and industries worldwide are embracing SAR’s unparalleled all-weather, day/night surveillance capabilities for defense, environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, urban planning, and disaster response. The global SAR imaging market…

Imagine peering down at Earth through thick clouds or the dead of night and still seeing clear images of the surface. Traditional optical satellites are blind in such conditions – in fact, at any given moment about 75% of the planet is obscured either by cloud cover or darkness, making it inaccessible to optical imaging…

Bridging 5G and Space: Inside France 2030’s End-to-End NTN Pilot With Dual LEO SatellitesThe push to bridge 5G and space is rapidly becoming a strategic priority for France and Europe. By integrating non-terrestrial networks (NTN) – essentially satellite communication links – into terrestrial 5G infrastructure, operators hope to achieve truly global connectivity. Under the France 203…
China’s AO-MDR Laser Link Delivers 1 Gbps from Geostationary OrbitChinese researchers have achieved a record-breaking 1 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) data downlink from a satellite in geostationary orbit (36,000 km above Earth) using an optical laser link – with a laser device as weak as a “night light” or candle in power scmp.com scmp.com. In a recent demonstratio…
From Orbit to Runway and Back: Lux Aeterna’s Delphi Platform and the Rise of Fully Reusable SatellitesSatellites have long been treated as disposable assets – after completing their missions, they either burn up during reentry or become lifeless space junk in “graveyard” orbits. This paradigm is now being challenged by a new generation of spacecraft designed for multiple missions. Lux Aeterna, a …
Orbiting Eyes: How Space-Based ADS-B Is Revolutionizing Air Traffic SurveillanceADS-B and Its Evolution Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) is an aircraft surveillance technology that has transformed how air traffic is monitored. In simple terms, ADS-B equips aircraft with GPS-based transponders that automatically broadcast their precise position, identity, al…
Why Luxembourg’s Internet Is Speeding Ahead—But Can It Reach the Stars?Luxembourg has emerged as one of Europe’s leaders in internet connectivity, boasting near-universal broadband coverage and world-class speeds. From extensive fiber-optic deployments to cutting-edge mobile networks, the Grand Duchy’s digital infrastructure is speeding ahead. Yet questions remain a…
