  1. FoxConn Satellites? Huh? Oh, wait this strategy does have some logic behind it!

    Foxconn launches 2nd gen PEARL-1A and PEARL-1B satellites - core component of its “3+3” expansion.

    FoxConn's 3+3 strategy prioritizes three emerging industries—electric vehicles, digital health, and robotics—supported by three core technologies: artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and next-generation communications.

    By owning the satellite hardware and the communications stack, Foxconn aims to offer vertically integrated services for the automotive and industrial sectors, including real-time telemetry for its burgeoning EV platform.

  8. NASA’s recently launched asteroid hunter, Psyche, is designed to give us a look at a body that could resemble depths far within the Earth, where we can never go. But one instrument tagging along for a ride is exciting scientists who specialize in a completely different field — that of space communications. arevie.ws/Psyche_KM via @KnowableMag

  9. @danyork Unrelated to LEO satellite internet clusters: are you aware of any work being done to secure long-distance space-based transmissions / internet?

    Anything beyond a few hundred milliseconds round-trip starts getting really slow with handshakes and assured protocols. That includes TCP, but also pretty much all secure (TLS, SSL, SSH, S/MIME) protocols in which keys and secrets are exchanged. That might be viable for non-realtime transmissions to a few light-minutes out, but even interplanetary comms to near neigbours (Mars, Venus) at closest approach are likely nonviable, let alone the out planets, or Mars/Venus at distance or opposition.

    (Managing round-the-Sun links will also prove ... interesting.)

    I've done some casual digging but have found nothing as yet.

    I'm assuming a periodic key update / assertion and/or one-time password / one-time pad mechanism might be required.

  10. The 29th commercial resupply services mission (CRS-29) to the International Space Station launches tonight. Among other things, it will deliver ILLUMA-T, a #laserCommunications terminal that will be used to experiment with communications to the ground via the #LCRD laser communications relay satellite. More information about ILLUMA-T can be found here:
    nasa.gov/mission/illumat/

    Launch currently looks like it's scheduled for 8:28 pm. It will be live streamed, and there are several ways to watch it (1/2).
