Separation complete: #EarthCARE is alone in space for the first time. The satellite will now automatically deploy its solar array and begin transmitting telemetry. Next up: the all-important ‘acquisition of signal’ from Hartebeesthoek ground station in South Africa in approx. 40 minutes.

Separation confirmed! ✅ The SpaceX rocket has demonstrated its ability to withstand the extreme conditions of launch. Our next big milestone will be to acquire #MissionToPsyche's signal and confirm the spacecraft is in good health, which could take up to 2 hours.

Earth moves. We watch in awe. 🌍 Captured aboard the International Space Station, this timelapse shows our planet from 250 miles up. The International Space Station is more than a window seat. In microgravity, researchers study medicine, materials, climate, and life itself in ways we simply can’t on the ground.

🚨 A SATELLITE JUST REVEALED SOMETHING SHOCKING: GPS JAMMING IS FAR MORE WIDESPREAD THAN ANYONE REALIZED. An experimental navigation satellite called Pulsar-0, flying just 500 km above Earth, has mapped GPS signal tampering from space for the first time and the scale surprised even the engineers who built it. As soon as the satellite passed over Europe and parts of the Middle East, its GPS receiver showed massive signal degradation. In the worst areas, signal strength dropped from a normal 40 decibels all the way down to just 10 decibels. Why this matters: • Ground-based jammers (used in conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East) are now reaching all the way into low Earth orbit • Satellites like Starlink that rely on GPS for collision avoidance and positioning are being affected across a huge region from France to the borders of Pakistan • When GPS drops out, satellites can’t accurately point their antennas, maintain formation, or safely maneuver • This isn’t just a military problem it threatens the growing network of commercial satellites we increasingly depend on The deeper implication: We’ve long known that GPS signals on the ground can be jammed. What we didn’t fully appreciate is how far those jamming signals reach into space. Even satellites in low Earth orbit the backbone of global communications, Earth observation, and future mega-constellations are now operating in an increasingly hostile electromagnetic environment. Xona’s upcoming constellation aims to fix this with signals 100 times stronger than traditional GPS. But the bigger question remains: as more nations and groups weaponize jamming and spoofing, how resilient will our orbital infrastructure actually be? How concerned are you that GPS jamming is now reaching into space and affecting satellites? Follow for more frontier space technology and the hidden vulnerabilities of our orbital systems.

📣IMPORTANT DERBY DISPLAY DETAILS📣 There will be a tifo sheet display, a banner and flags in the South Stand. Can everyone in the south please participate in the below to ensure the display is done to full effect. 🔹At the end of ‘SPIRIT OF THE BLUES’ please raise the sheets on seats in the middle of the South Stand upper & lower and can fans in the corners of the south Stand please wave the flags on your seats. 🔹We are encouraging all Evertonians to be in the ground 20 minutes before KO to help with the display and create a great atmosphere for the lads to come out too. Our goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has a message for us all 🔵👍🏼 UP THE TOFFEES 🔵

You thought the sky was the limit? Wingbits is going to space 🚀 thanks to a strategic partnership with Spire, leader in space-based data and operator of the largest multipurpose satellite constellation. 🛰️ Together we’re launching a new satellite that will act as a validator of Wingbits’ ground data, increasing the security and reliability of our global flight tracking network. The satellite is scheduled for launch on the SpaceX Transporter-13 mission.
