Quantum Sensors for Satellite Control Enable High-Speed Connectivity
COLOGNE, Germany, Aug. 29, 2022 — A German consortium composed of Q.ANT, Bosch, TRUMPF, and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) plans to use quantum technology to permanently enhance satellite measurement stability. Reliable transmission of satellite communication signals can only be achieved by constantly maintaining high-precision attitude control of satellites in their orbits. If a satellite moves out of position, the signals get weaker. The partners will develop space-qualified attitude sensors in a project will
Navy Tests High-Energy Laser with Advanced Detection Capabilities
ARLINGTON, Va., April 21, 2022 — The U.S. Navy has tested a laser weapon designed to serve as a multidomain, multiplatform demonstration system. The Navy said that the system, developed by Lockheed Martin and called the Layered Laser Defense (LLD), can counter unmanned aerial...
