This legal step paves the way for the activation of a full-fledged treaty between the countries after its signing at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) representatives of NASA and the Australian Space Agency. Introducing the document to the parliament is a critical milestone, which brings the Australian private sector and science to a new level of integration with American projects. The document establishes a long-term legal basis for such civilians […]

The move cements Beijing's transition from isolated experiments to the systematic deployment of large-scale satellite arrays in ultra-low Earth orbits. The decision was made after that, as test machines have demonstrated the ability to operate stably at lower altitudes for long periods of time 300 kilometers. Work in ultra-low orbits (150–300 km) opens critical advantages for China's space industry: Super high resolution: Shorter distance to […]
