New space startup Lux Aeterna wants to make satellites reusable

Satellites can accomplish incredible tasks like provide internet, or help monitor wildfires. But many of them ultimately meet a fiery death burning up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Others use their last bit of fuel to move to so-called “graveyard” orbits, where they circle the planet in a perpetual deep freeze. A new startup called Lux … Read more

India Is Using AI and Satellites to Map Urban Heat Vulnerability Down to the Building Level

“The more granular your data, the more targeted your response can be,” Krishna adds. Instead of generic advisories like “drink more water,” localized data could drive specific actions: change market or factory hours, deploy cost-effective heat shelters, or set up oral rehydration solution stations in high-footfall areas. “If you know who’s most vulnerable, you can … Read more

Solar Storms Are Pushing Elon Musk’s Satellites Back to Earth

New research suggests that heightened solar activity shortens the lifespans of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites, and may send them careening back to Earth at greater velocities. Perhaps unintuitively, this could increase the risk of satellite debris making landfall.  This preprint study, which has yet to undergo peer review, adds to a wealth of evidence showing that … Read more

Satellites Can Now Identify Methane ‘Super-Emitters’

In 2024, two new satellites were launched to find methane super-emitters from space: the Environmental Defense Fund’s MethaneSAT took off in March 2024; and Carbon Mapper, launched later last year as a public-private partnership. Methane is a super-powered greenhouse gas. Pound-for-pound, methane is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the first two decades … Read more
