Astronautics professor Grace Gao is an authority on the Global Positioning System. GPS has long been key to navigation on Earth, she says, but science is now shifting its focus outward to the frontiers of space. Gao is working on a GPS-like system for the Moon. To keep costs low, this lunar positioning system will leverage Earth-based satellites complemented by a network of smaller satellites in lunar orbit. It could lead to autonomous vehicles on the moon and a new era of lunar exploration, Gao tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

This week Saul and Patrick look at the interesting developments that have emerged both on and off the battlefield. Noticeably the results of the relaxation of the use of western weapons by Ukraine inside Russia proper, and the success of far-right parties in the recent EU elections, particularly in Germany and France - which could potentially result in declining EU support for Ukraine. We also have some fascinating correspondence from our cyber security expert David Alexander, who highlights the perilous situation that Russia's GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System) finds itself in.

Adding satellite investments to your core investment portfolio To prevent meddling with the core investment portfolio, many investors set aside a small amount of money to invest in risky satellite investments. Ramin talks us through some of the assets he has on his 'Market Crash Shopping List' and when he might consider adding them to his portfolio. We look at actively managed investment trusts, leveraged funds, Chinese stocks, high-yield credit, REITs, cryptocurrency and more. In today's Dumb Question of the Week, we ask what does it mean to say cryptocurrency is "unregulated"?

Is the UK losing its way when it comes to satellite navigation? There's GPS from the US, but other countries and regions, including Russia, China, India and Japan, either have, or are building, satellite navigation systems of their own. The EU has Galileo, but with Brexit, Britain is no longer involved. The Government has announced that it’s just acquired a satellite technology company called OneWeb. It’s primary role is enhanced broadband, but there’s talk of adding in a navigation function to the constellation of satellites. But how feasible will that be? In an era of cyber-crime, misinformation, disinformation, state-sponsored attacks on rival countries’ infrastructure, government-imposed internet shutdowns in places like Eritrea and Kashmir, the World Wide Web is an increasingly dark and troubled place. Making sense of how the internet has changed from the democratic, sharing, open platform it was designed to be, and predicting what’s next, are the web scientists. Professor Dame Wendy Hall, Regius Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton, and a co-founder of the whole field of web science, is hosting an online, annual conference this week. The theme this year is 'Making the web human-centric'. Communal burial sites tend to suggest an egalitarian society, where everyone is considered equal. And this is what we expected the Neolithic societies that spread across Europe with the birth of agriculture around 6000 years ago would be. But DNA evidence from a single human, NG10, buried in 3200 B.C.E in the vast tomb of Newgrange, 25 miles north of Dublin, in Ireland, shows very strong inbreeding. Couple this with the fact the body was buried and not cremated and placed in a highly adorned chamber. Does this indicate an elite ruling class where marrying one’s close kin was the order of the day? Dr. Lara Cassidy, palaeogeneticist at Trinity College Dublin, decoded NG10’s DNA and she tells Adam Rutherford the story. Presenter - Gareth Mitchell Producers - Fiona Roberts and Beth Eastwood

Think your life is full? Never enough time to combine a career, family time, travelling adventures and personal challenges? Does that little voice in your head tell you it’s time to slow down at your age or that that the pain in your knees would never let you run a marathon? Listen to the inspiring story of Dominic Hayes and you might realize there’s always more time for stuff. By day, a mild-mannered radio frequency expert working on Europe’s satellite navigation system; by night, a desert running super hero! Well almost… His day job, working in a drab, grey, Brussels office, sees him managing the radio frequencies essential for the Galileo satellite navigation system, a role that requires his specialist technical knowledge as well as his policy-making and diplomatic skills. However, he’s also a blogger, traveller, biker, mountain climber and ultramarathon runner. In this podcast edition, he shares what it’s like to negotiate on behalf of the European Union with the Americans, Chinese, Russians, Japanese and Indians on the one hand, and how he survived a 7-day, 235km Moroccan marathon in the Sahara desert on the other - while carrying Arthur, his squeaky rubber chicken! Listen to his advice on how to push through your physical limits, how to overcome pain and how to prepare your mind for the challenges of a lifetime. Next time you hear that voice in your head, you can tell it (politely) where to go!Follow Dominic Hayes on:Facebook: hayesbookLinkedin: dominichayesTwitter: @dominichayes Blog: bikerdom.blogspot.com

These days, many of us are heavily dependent on our trusty sat navs to get where we want to go, but looking at these devices whilst driving is incredibly dangerous and can lead to car accidents. Psychologists from Anglia Ruskin University are hoping to minimise the dangers of using this technology by incorporating audio cues with in-car GPS to forewarn the driver of the lay of the land.

Listener Invite this week with Antonio Gomez from Panama!We delve into a ton of topics, with a focus on Satellite Navigation on the iPhone. Recurring jokes abound!
Seen from a distance, a blind man guided by his dog in the streets of Madrid seems quite sure of his way. In fact, he is not listening to music with his headphones but receiving directions to his destination: "Turn to the right, turn to the left, continue straight ahead!" Thanks to a mobile phone combined with a position receiver and a voice synthesizer he can walk confidently through the city while being guided by satellite. Developed by ESA, with the Spanish firm GMV Sistemas, this device offers greater autonomy to the visually impaired. The system is not intended to replace a white cane or a guide dog but to complement them with an 'audible map'. The user no longer needs to seek frequent guidance from other pedestrians; the guidance equipment follows his every move and advises him accordingly.ESApod video programme
Black Hat Briefings, USA 2007 [Video] Presentations from the security conference.
RDS-TMC is a standard based on RDS (Radio Data System) for communicating over FM radio Traffic Information for Satellite Navigation Systems. All modern in-car Satellite Navigation systems sold in Europe use RDS-TMC to receive broadcasts containing up to date information about traffic conditions such as queues and accidents and provide detours in case they affect the plotted course. The system is increasingly being used around Europe and North America. The audience will be introduced to RDS/RDS-TMC concepts and protocols and we'll show how to decode/encode such messages using a standard PC and cheap home-made electronics, with the intent of injecting information in the broadcast RDS-TMC stream manipulating the information displayed by the satellite navigator. We'll discover the obscure (but scary!) messages that can be broadcast (and that are not usually seen over legitimate RDS-TMC traffic), the limits of standard SatNav systems when flooded with unusual messages and the role that RDS-TMC injection / jamming can play in social engineering attempts (hitmen in the audience will love this!). In order to maximize the presentation we'll also demo the injection...hopefully at low power so that we won't piss off local radio broadcasts.
