Open Cosmos is enabling 6G tests in space with the commissioning i2CAT’s 6GStarLab satellite, an in-orbit telecommunications laboratory. Specifically, SpaceX launched the craft on Transporter 15 at the end of November. It has been successful deployed and the UK satellite mission services company is now preparing the craft for in-space tests. 6GStarLab Open Cosmos worked with i2CAT, a Barcelona-based research ...
The Greek semiconductor specialist Circuits Integrated will establish its first UK presence, expanding its R&D operations, at the Surrey Research Park. The company specialises in advanced IC, antenna-in-package (AiP) and system-in-package (SiP) design. Specifically, for next-generation chip technology for space and defence communications. And it is seeking to strengthen its ties with the UK’s semiconductor and space manufacturing sectors. To ...
Iceye, the Finnish specialist in satellite-based SAR imagery (Synthetic Aperture Radar), has successfully deployed five more satellites into orbit following their launch on the SpaceX Transporter-15 rideshare mission. Iceye now has 62 satellites in orbit. The Helsinki company highlights this as the world’s largest SAR constellation. What this means in practice is improved target detection and classification, to support defense ...

Five space UK projects, looking to enable Earth Observation for public services, have been awarded £2.5 million. It follows a joint ESA InCubed/UKSA (UK Space Agency) funding call. The selected projects cover monitoring public infrastructure, helping farmers support wildlife and observing greenhouse gases. Another project builds a database of agricultural and biodiversity markers, and the fifth will use satellite data ...
OQ Technology, a 5G-based satellite IoT operator, has made a direct-to-mobile emergency broadcast message from space. This was transmitted directly to standard smartphones, running both iPhone and Android. The test was via its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. And it represents Europe’s first direct-to-mobile emergency broadcast message without any hardware or software modifications, said the company. “This achievement marks ...
