The spacecraft changed the binary system’s orbit, confirming that a kinetic impactor can be an effective planetary defense technique for deflecting a near-Earth object. New research reveals that when NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft intentionally impacted the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in September 2022, it didn’t just change the motion of Dimorphos around its […]

Satellite images uncover new threat to emperor penguins during their annual molt

The tall black-and-white residents of Antarctica, who waddle around its icy landscape, are in peril thanks to the rapidly warming global climate. Emperor penguins go through an annual transformation called catastrophic molting, during which they replace all of their feathers over a short period. This process begins in December and is usually completed before the end of February. During this time, the penguins depend on stable ice to stay warm and dry because the protective coat that normally mak

Iridium just killed the multi-component IoT stack with one 16mm module

Building a device that works everywhere has always come with a hidden tax: extra components, extra board space, extra complexity, and a bill of materials that quietly kills the economics of scale. For IoT developers targeting use cases beyond terrestrial coverage, that tax has been particularly punishing–until now. Iridium Communications recently unveiled the 9604, a satellite IoT […] The post Iridium just killed the multi-component IoT stack with one 16mm module appeared first on Internet of T
