A non-peer-reviewed paper published by The University of Texas at Austin provides a complete characterization of Starlink’s signals claiming to have taken the first step toward creating a brand-new global navigation technology.
This is a… Continue reading Researchers hack SpaceX Starlink satellite signal for GPS alternative
SpaceX gifted a boon (albeit an expensive one) to digital nomads earlier this year when it launched its Starlink RV service, enabling internet connection in the types of remote, primitive spaces where it was definitely lacking. One of the shortcomings … Continue reading Starlink in-motion RV broadband puts more digital into nomadism
Caltech’s wildly ambitious space solar project, buoyed by a massive hundred-million-dollar donation, is preparing to launch its first prototypes into orbit. These cutting-edge ultralight structures will collect, convert and wirelessly send energy.Conti… Continue reading Caltech’s space solar project prepares for its first orbital prototype
New evidence has emerged in the ongoing debate about whether or not there’s water on Mars. In a study led by the University of Cambridge, scientists examined the topology of Martian ice sheets and found signatures that match subglacial lakes here on Ea… Continue reading New study adds compelling evidence for lake of liquid water on Mars
With an ever-growing constellation of Starlink satellites whizzing around over our heads, you might be getting the urge to start experimenting with the high-speed internet service. But at $100 or …read more Continue reading Snooping on Starlink With an RTL-SDR
If you are a Steely Dan fan, you might know the Donald Fagan song, “IGY.” In it, Fagan sings about a rosy future with high-speed undersea rail, solar power, giant …read more Continue reading IGY: The Year We All Got Along
It stands to reason, that should you wish to communicate with a satellite, whatever antenna you use should point at that satellite. Some of us have done this by hand, …read more Continue reading AntRunner Is The Satellite Antenna Mount You Need To Take With You
In a world where it seems like everyone’s face is glued to a device screen, the idea that wireless service might be anything other than universal seems just plain silly. …read more Continue reading Swarm vs. Iridium: Which Satellite IoT Service is Right for You?
Embedded engineer [Alberto Nunez] has put together a compact LoRa satellite telemetry ground station that fits in your hand and can be built for around $40 USD. The station receives …read more Continue reading DIY Low-Cost LoRa Satellite Ground Station
