To solve the energy crisis using space-based solar power, replacement power needs to come on line at a rate of 400-500 GW/year. That replaces about 6 million barrels of oil a day each year over the next 50 years. To make liquid fuels at a dollar a gallon out of electricity requires that the electricity […]

I can’t wait until data starts streaming back from this device. Prepare for an unprecedented view of the universe …
A week after launch, NASA’s Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, is safely up-and-running well in orbit approximately 350 miles (565 kilometers) above the Earth’s surface.
GLAST was successfully launched aboard a Delta II rocket […]
The Gamma Ray Large Area Telescope (GLAST) is an astounding mission to explore the most extreme environments in the universe, search for signs of new laws of physics, what composes the mysterious dark matter, and secrets found in gamma ray explosions.

I saw this on NOSINT and was piqued by the ASAT headline. I said to myself, “we’ve covered ASAT before … I should carry this story.” Then I read the last paragraph @ NOSINT …
Raytheon officials say they haven’t researched the ASAT mission and have no opinion about its feasibility.
So I said “fuggit” […]
Why hasn’t this been done yet? A preliminary review of the internets has turned up nothing. I’d just like to get this idea moving. I think it is something that needs to be done for the good of the Earth. Something that should be free for all.
This needs to be done. […]
How does this crossover work given the diplomatic row recently w/ the Dalai Lama?
Israel’s Ministry of Defense has secured tacit U.S. government consent for a prospective remote sensing deal with China based on the Eros B, a commercial, high-resolution satellite nearly identical to the Israeli military’s Ofeq-5.
Sources here and in Washington confirmed the U.S. greenlight […]
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Osaka University have developed a system that converts sunlight into laser-light. The team is working on a space-based weapon solar power system which can collect sunlight in space, convert it into laser light, and then beam that light to Earth. Presumably to superheat water to create the steam […]
Watch out there is a QT video on autoplay when you got to the site. I’ll link you to a page off the front page.
Welcome to the web site of the Boston University Center for Remote Sensing. The Center was established in 1986 as a facility for scientific research in the fields of archaeology, […]
