US military boosts demand for satellite communication
The US military's rising use of advanced weapons such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)/drones has given a huge boost to the market for satellite communication (SATCOMM).
IHM sensors reduce downtime for rugged applications
A range of Honeywell's patented IHM (Integrated Health Monitoring) series aerospace proximity sensors for harsh duty aircraft applications are now available in Europe through TTI. The IHM series are non-contact devices designed to sense the presence or absence of a target, providing on/off output, plus they can also be configured with an optional health monitoring output to the host system.

This is no fairy tale - TRAPPIST-1 and the seven planets
Once upon a time there lived, Snow White and the seven dwarfs. But now, NASA may have discovered the real-life version - TRAPPIST-1 and the seven planets. It turns out that life may have been discovered 39 light years away, as this week NASA has made the announcement that seven new earth size planets have been discovered. Previously scientists have only found a tiny number of ‘exoplanets’ which are believed to have the qualities ...

Defunct satellites are taking up space in space
Space is becoming ever more cluttered with defunct satellites, spent rocket boosters and sundry stray pieces after the first satellite was launched almost 60 years ago.
Researchers develop first image of a black hole
A team of researchers from around the world is getting ready to create what might be the first image of a black hole. The project is the result of collaboration between teams manning radio receivers around the world and a team at MIT that will assemble the data from the other teams and hopefully create an image. The project has been ongoing for approximately 20 years as project members have sought to piece together what has now become known ...
