Solar Sail Satellites Could Enhance Space Weather Forecasting and Alerts
Solar sail satellites, harnessing sunlight for propulsion, are being developed to improve space weather forecasting. NOAA and NASA’s Solar Cruiser project aims to extend geomagnetic storm alert times by 50%, reducing risks to power grids, GPS, and air traffic. The new spacecraft, expected to launch in 2029, will move beyond traditional observatio...

Japan’s First Space Launch of 2025 Sends Michibiki 6 Navigation Satellite into Orbit
Japan launched the Michibiki 6 satellite aboard an H3 rocket from Tanegashima Space Center, marking the country’s first space mission of 2025. The 4,900-kilogram satellite was deployed into a geostationary transfer orbit 29 minutes after liftoff. Michibiki 6 will enhance the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System, improving GPS services in Japan and nearb...

'SuperGPS' Technology: A Navigation System With An Accuracy Of 10 Centimeters
The goal of the SuperGPS project was to create an alternative positioning system that could be more reliable and accurate than GPS by using the mobile telecommunications network rather than satellites.

Despite Blast, Spacex Has Time to Show Readiness for Missions: US Air Force
A Falcon 9 rocket accident last month should not eliminate SpaceX from the competition to launch a new GPS satellite, U.S. Air Force Secretary Deborah James said on Wednesday, since there would be "plenty of time" to test the rocket before any future launch.
