A History of Entry, Descent, and Landing of Human Spacecraft

A human spacecraft is not finished when it reaches orbit. It is not finished when it docks, lands on the Moon, or circles Earth for months. It is finished only when the crew is back on the ground alive, reachable, and in condition to be recovered. That fact shaped the entire history of crewed spacecraft design.

Reclaiming Lost Text Layers for Source-Free Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning

arXiv:2603.05235v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Source-Free Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning (SF-CDFSL) focuses on fine-tuning with limited training data from target domains (e.g., medical or satellite images), where CLIP has recently shown promising results due to its generalizability to downstream tasks. Current works indicate CLIP's text encoder is more suitable for cross-domain tasks, however, we find that \textbf{removing certain middle layers of the text encoder can effectively improve perf

SPyCer: Semi-Supervised Physics-Guided Contextual Attention for Near-Surface Air Temperature Estimation from Satellite Imagery

arXiv:2603.05219v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern Earth observation relies on satellites to capture detailed surface properties. Yet, many phenomena that affect humans and ecosystems unfold in the atmosphere close to the surface. Near-ground sensors provide accurate measurements of certain environmental characteristics, such as near-surface air temperature (NSAT). However, they remain sparse and unevenly distributed, limiting their ability to provide continuous spatial measurements. To b

War in Iran: Verified footage reveals scale of Tehran's response and range of its targets

Since the Israeli-American airstrikes on Iran on February 28, the Islamic Republic has launched a large-scale retaliation against numerous targets across the Persian Gulf and as far as the Mediterranean. Videos recorded on the ground and satellite images help measure the number and extent of these strikes.

Toward practical laser-driven light sails using photonic crystals

Most space missions rely on chemical rockets for propulsion. Rockets must carry fuel, which increases spacecraft mass and limits their speed and travel distance. For decades, researchers have explored light sails as an alternative. These devices use radiation pressure—the force exerted when light reflects from a surface—to generate thrust. When driven by a powerful laser, a light sail can accelerate continuously without onboard propellant, enabling faster travel across the solar system.

Every facet of Iran's military and theocracy is under assault. These images show the damage

This satellite image provided by Vantor shows a destroyed drone storage building and cratered airstrip at Konarak drone base in Iran on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. (Satellite image ©2026 Vantor via AP)2026-03-05T21:05:14Z CAIRO (AP) — The U.S. and Israel are striking a much wider array of targets in Iran than they did during 12 days of war last summer, when their focus was on the country’s nuclear enrichment sites. Now, the aim appears to be destroying Iran’

Space Development Agency Faces Challenges Scaling its Growing Constellation

The Space Development Agency launched its first two batches of operational satellites last fall in what was supposed to be the start of a 10-month campaign to populate its proliferated data transport and missile tracking constellation. Six months later, the agency and its vendors have yet to move those first satellites through the formal testing phase and its ambitious launch schedule is months behind due to supply chain challenges and technical issues with at least one satellite provider.
