The US military’s Boeing-built X-37B spaceplane is in space again for its eighth mission. The X-37B is an uncrewed craft that, just like the USA’s retired Space Shuttle, launches on a rocket and after re-entry makes an unpowered landing on a terrestrial runway. The vehicle has engines it can use to maneuver in space, but in 2024 deliberately grazed Earth’s …

A US military space-plane, the X-37B orbital test vehicle, is due to embark on its eighth flight into space on August 21, 2025. Much of what the X-37B does in space is secret. But it serves partly as a platform for cutting-edge experiments. One of these experiments is a potential alternative to GPS that makes use of quantum science as …

Four WorldTour teams and one ProTeam have been confirmed by the UCI as disqualified from the Tour de Romandie Féminin in a dispute over GPS safety trackers. Lidl-Trek, Visma-Lease a Bike, Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto, EF Education-Oatly and Picnic-PostNL were excluded, meaning that 30 riders, six per team, were out of the race even before it began. The dispute, first broken by …

Facebook Tweet Email Link Satellites, including those used for GPS and communications, will face greater risks in coming decades during solar-triggered geomagnetic storms because of the effect climate pollution has on Earth’s atmosphere, a new study found. The increasing volume of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the upper atmosphere is likely to make the air less dense, while geomagnetic storms have …

The latest Pixel Watch 4 leak reveals how Google will be advertising the 2025 Wear OS 6 device and Gemini plays a big role. Evan Blass this evening shared marketing material of the upcoming wearable. Just like the phones, it’s now “Google Pixel Watch 4 with Gemini.” The tagline is “Precision crafted. Performance ready.” Last year’s wearable brought “Actua” from …

Researchers have confirmed that massive “space hurricanes” are swirling over Earth’s polar regions, injecting vast amounts of energy into the upper atmosphere and even interfering with GPS signals. These plasma-based storms, invisible to most of the world, share striking similarities with traditional hurricanes but occur in the realm of charged particles high above our planet. How Space Hurricanes Form And …
