Researchers at NICT and ISEE reveal how a 2024 super geomagnetic storm disrupted near-Earth space, impacting satellites and communications.
TeraNet has launched as Australia’s first optical laser communications network, built with support from NREN AARNet and Australian space partners.
Mapping of the cosmic microwave background in its first year has generated data that CHILE’s REUNA links to global facilities for analysis and discovery.
NICT and partners mapped 3D ionospheric responses to the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake, showing electron density disturbances reaching up to 300 km above Earth.
Projects showcased at InnovaInvest used Copernicus satellite data to help farmers and communities reduce climate risk, improve crop outcomes and guide decision-making.
EarthCARE’s spaceborne cloud radar made the first global measurements of vertical cloud motion, offering data that could improve weather prediction and climate models.
Simulations of sand dune movements is just one of many examples of how space technology can help the region to protect its environment.
Weather satellites provide raw data for weather and climate models. EUMETSAT collects this raw data and distributes the processed data to weather institutes in its member countries, such as the Dutch KNMI. The institutes themselves contribute to the processing of the data. How does this work, how are the data distributed, and what is SURF’s role?
The Square Kilometre Array, known as the SKA, will become the world’s biggest radio telescope, surveying the sky ten thousand times faster than ever before.
Ever wondered what the planets sound like? The Mars Soundscapes project uses sonification to transform data from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, and images from rovers, Curiosity and Opportunity.
Being able to forecast the weather in space is becoming ever more important. So-called sub-storms caused by fluctuations in the Sun’s activity pose a threat to satellites and could be fatal to astronauts and space tourists.
Highly networked planetariums are using “domecasting” — live broadcasting a planetarium show to audiences at other planetariums — to share the latest cosmic discoveries.
