ISS ASTRONAUTS TAKE COVER FROM RADIATION AS SOLAR STORMS SPARK AURORAS ACROSS THE PLANET ISS ASTRONAUTS TAKE COVER FROM RADIATION AS SOLAR STORMS SPARK AURORAS ACROSS THE PLANET - It's not all about pretty auroras when the sun shoots some ejecta our way. As people across the Earth gazed at the sky the past few nights, staring up at the brilliant auroras brought on by recent intense solar storms, Earthlings in orbit had to take some precautions. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) were forced to rearrange some of their sleeping arrangements due to the potential threat posed by recent solar storms, a recent communications exchange between ISS mission control and crew members aboard the space station shows.   More

PROJECT KUIPER IS NOW AMAZON LEO PROJECT KUIPER IS NOW AMAZON LEO - Seven years ago, Amazon set out to design the most advanced satellite communications network ever built. Our vision was simple: There are still billions of people on the planet who lack high-speed internet access, and millions of businesses, governments, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity. With a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit, we could help bridge that gap and extend fast, reliable internet to those beyond the reach of existing networks.   More

The three-person crew including Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie, arrived in April and were supposed to return in November after a handover with the Shenzhou-21 crew. That return has been postponed while engineers assess potential damage from what reports describe as "a tiny piece of space debris."   More
