“This is really Phase 1 of a massive undertaking at Tomorrow.io in our space program. We’ll eventually deploy these very exotic wide swath scanning precipitation radars, and that will be the first in a series of satellites to fill out a constellation of wide swath precipitation mapping radar satellites that will give a large field of view below the spacecraft of all of the precipitation with very high detail in three-dimensional space.” 🌧️ Richard Roy , Principal Radar Scientist at Tomorrow.io Tomorrow.io's historic satellite launch last year was just the beginning of a constellation that will transform how we can become resilient in the face of volatile weather worldwide. #weathertech #weatherresilience #operationalresilience #spacetech

Face to face with Sun-eclipsing Proba-3 Through exquisite, millimetre-scale, formation flying, the dual satellites making up ESA’s Proba-3 will accomplish what was previously a space mission impossible: cast a precisely held shadow from one platform to the other, in the process blocking out the fiery Sun to observe its ghostly surrounding atmosphere on a prolonged basis.

CLEAR Debris Removal Mission Reaches PDR Maturity ClearSpace has announced that its CLEAR Mission has achieved Preliminary Design Review (PDR) maturity, marking a significant advancement in the collective aim of making our space operations more sustainable. The CLEAR Mission aims to use ClearSpace’s robotic capture system to safely remove two dead, washing-machine-sized, UK satellites from orbit, mitigating the risk that these pieces of space debris pose to other space operations.

YASDE! (Yet Another Space Debris Event) This was...unfortunately....somewhat expected. It appears that we now have ***three PRC launches in a row*** with a CZ-6A (Long March 6A) rocket producing #SpaceDebris. On 06 Aug 2024 06:42 UTC China launched a CZ-6A into LEO out of Taiyuan. Some 36 hours later there are reports of #SpaceDebris, with Slingshot Aerospace providing the first notification I've seen. See also their post on X from 07 Aug 2024, 18:13 UTC: https://lnkd.in/g4-KMaVd The rocket body and associated payloads have not yet been cataloged and made public by U.S. Space Command. Many groups are awaiting public information on the rocket body object state (e.g., TLE) in order for more tasking (s2a systems). The rocket body will likely receive international designator 2024-138A upon cataloging by 18 SDS, with a TBD catalog number assignment. Updates to come (to include analysis independent of the #SpaceDebris as this is the first PRC "G60 Starlink" launch). #SpaceSustainability #SpaceTrafficCoordination #SpaceDomainAwareness #SpaceSituationalAwareness

A note on active space debris monitoring: Two of the primary factors infuencing the operations of ground-based SLR systems are atmosperic noise (backscaterring, pulse wander and others) and station's location (weather, altitude). While the research in this field has slowly achieving success, most of the time it requires a multi-static approach i vloving more than 1 station. Concept: a constellation of satellites with on-board laser firing mechanism, a set of cameras, and a time tagging equipment that will monitor space debris population from space. All satellites are in a network of inter-satellite links (ISL) that can be implemented using optical comms. #SLR #LEO #Space #spacedebris
