As missions to low Earth orbit become more frequent, space traffic coordination is essential for operating safely in space.

They told you Bitcoin was too volatile to ever work. But volatility isn't a bug, it's the heartbeat that took Bitcoin from pennies to $100,000… and it's the same force that will drive it to $1M. In this episode of Beyond Bitcoin, Oshins breaks down why critics misunderstand volatility, why the dollar, not Bitcoin, is the unstable asset, and how every wild swing is actually proof of Bitcoin's vitality. With historical context, metaphors that make sense, and even Michael Saylor weighing in, this is the ultimate explanation of why volatility = growth.If you've ever been shaken out by a 20% drop, this is your reminder: the heartbeat means Bitcoin is alive. And the signal is clear... $1M is on the horizon!SPONSORS:

Elles illuminent parfois le ciel d'aurores spectaculaires… mais elles représentent aussi une menace invisible pour nos satellites. Les tempêtes solaires, ou géomagnétiques, sont déclenchées par d'immenses éjections de particules chargées en provenance du Soleil. Lorsqu'elles frappent la haute atmosphère terrestre, elles modifient sa densité, perturbant vitesse, altitude et durée de vie des engins en orbite.Mais avec le réchauffement climatique, un nouveau facteur s'invite dans l'équation. Contrairement à la basse atmosphère, qui se réchauffe sous l'effet du dioxyde de carbone, la haute atmosphère se refroidit. Cela entraîne une diminution progressive de sa densité. Alors, une question se pose : les tempêtes solaires pourraient-elles devenir plus destructrices pour les satellites dans les décennies à venir ?C'est ce qu'ont étudié des chercheurs du Centre national de recherche atmosphérique (NCAR) aux États-Unis, en collaboration avec l'université de Kyushu au Japon. Leur modèle s'est appuyé sur la super-tempête des 10 et 11 mai 2024, provoquée par d'énormes éjections de masse coronale. Les scientifiques ont simulé cette même tempête à différents moments : en 2016, puis en 2040, 2061 et enfin en 2084. Le tout grâce à un supercalculateur capable de reproduire l'atmosphère terrestre jusqu'à 700 kilomètres d'altitude.Résultat : d'ici la fin du siècle, la haute atmosphère pourrait être 20 à 50 % moins dense au pic d'une tempête solaire, en raison de l'augmentation du CO₂. Et ce n'est pas une bonne nouvelle. Car si l'air y devient plus rare, les variations provoquées par une tempête seront proportionnellement plus violentes. Là où une tempête double aujourd'hui la densité au maximum de son intensité, elle pourrait presque la tripler dans le futur. Concrètement, cela signifie davantage de contraintes pour les satellites, mais aussi pour les débris spatiaux qui menacent déjà la sécurité en orbite. Les auteurs appellent à de nouvelles recherches, afin de mieux anticiper ces évolutions de la météo spatiale et leurs effets sur nos infrastructures. Hébergé par Acast.

 The Sun is our very own well behaved star. It rises and sets in our sky every day and powers and makes possible all life forms on planet Earth. A new appreciation for our Sun is growing as we learn more about other suns and their families of planets. The Trappist-1 system of 7 planets orbits a dim M type red dwarf star about 40 light years away in the constellation of Aquarius.Recently, Dr. Manasvi Lingam and Dr. Abraham Loeb of Harvard University have calculated the likelihood that planets orbiting red dwarf stars are able to possess an atmosphere conducive to life. They report, in a recently published a paper in the International Journal of Astrobiology that the planet Trappist 1-e is more than 100 times less likely to be habitable than is the Earth. Another group from Harvard and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, headed up by Dr. Cecilia Garraffo also find the Trappist-1 planets to be a tough place to live. These researchers add that the close proximity of these planets to their host star put them at risk of having their atmospheres stripped off by high stellar winds and their surfaces bombarded with high energy particles and electromagnetic radiation. Go outside today and enjoy some gentle sunshine from our well behaved star.

Since its launch, NASA's TEMPO mission has been measuring the quality of the air we breathe from its unique orbit.

On a a short June night my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Greg Leonard was observing with our 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Arizona in the constellation of Ursa Major when a relatively bright fast moving point of light appeared in a set of his images. Even though on its current path Greg's discovery, 2025 MM89, has virtually no chance of impacting our home planet asteroid hunters will continue to track it to make sure it doesn't become a threat as it passes other objects in space.

75% of asteroid hunter's discoveries are called C type asteroids. They are dark, have a high abundance of carbon, consist of clay and silicate rocks, and may have a composition which is up to 22% water. Recently Dr. Phillip A. Bland of Curtin University in Australia and Dr. Bryan Travis of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona published an article in the on line journal Science Advances describing their numerical simulations of the evolution of the progenitors of the C type asteroids. These researchers find that these common asteroids are likely to have started out as giant convecting mud balls which could still exist at the center of large asteroids like Ceres. The C type asteroids are particularly significant in that they are likely to have been one of the ingredients which came together under gravity to form Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Their impacts upon a young Earth are likely to be the source of the water in our oceans. Of more immediate interest is that the type C asteroids could be a handy source of water and raw materials for space colonists either as they are currently flying through space or found buried in impact craters on the Moon.

Today we're breaking down the Bitcoin blind spot that could quietly destroy everything HODLers have built. Mitch Moore, one of only eight Bitcoin-focused wealth advisors in the US, reveals why estate planning, custody, and education are the missing pillars of generational Bitcoin wealth. From $15M stacks liquidated in bear markets… to heirs selling Bitcoin because they don't understand private keys… to the burden of self-custody at scale, this episode exposes the risks you haven't prepared for. If you care about your family, your stack, and the future of Bitcoin, this is a must-watch!SPONSORS:

Send us a textGrant McCracken shares his groundbreaking PhD research on satellite security, revealing how vulnerable our orbital infrastructure is to cyberattacks and the urgent need for better security measures before quantum computing renders current encryption obsolete.• Satellites face unique security challenges with limited patching windows of only 15 minutes during orbit• Most satellites run on outdated technology with numerous vulnerabilities that can allow complete takeover• A real-world attack in 2022 showed how Russia could penetrate ground stations and control entire satellite constellations• Post-quantum encryption will be essential within 5-10 years according to global experts• CubeSats (small satellites) can be purchased and tested by anyone, creating both research opportunities and security risks• Bug bounty programs provide unique opportunities for security researchers to specialize and potentially earn substantial rewards• Zero trust principles must be applied to satellite security before launch since patching in orbit is extremely difficult• The infrastructure dependent on satellites includes GPS, cellular communications, and financial transactionsYou can find Grant on LinkedIn by searching "Grant McCracken Dark Horse" or contact him directly at grant@darkhorsesh.com.

Episode 79 of the Space Industry podcast by satsearch is a conversation with Adrian Helwig, Analog Field Application Engineer, and Michael Seidl, Systems Engineer from Texas Instruments (TI), about the strengths of adopting standardized architectures for space missions.TI is a global electronics manufacturer with a wide portfolio of space-grade components to support space missions across the spectrum.In the episode, Adrian, Michael and satsearch COO Narayan Prasad Nagendra discuss:Standardized architectures in space missions that enable modular, interoperable system designs across suppliers, helping to reduce R&D costs, support component re-use, and foster a diverse supplier ecosystem.Harsher environmental and longevity challenges faced by space missions compared to automotive applications, which share principles like system modularity and cost-efficient R&D; however space applications require dedicated components, long-term support, and reliability over decades.Space-grade products offered by TI in two qualification levels — SEP and SP — to meet varied mission requirements, with benefits like pin-compatible options, broad portfolio coverage, and flight heritage from previously proven components.You can find out more about TI on their satsearch supplier hub. And if you would like to learn more about the space industry and our work at satsearch building the global space supply chain, please take a look at our blog.[Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/when-we-get-there License code: Y4KZEAESHXDHNYRA]

What happens when a satellite engineer's hands stop working, and how can creativity emerge from constraint?For Florrie de Havilland, a period of debilitating ill health  meant reimagining her entire career and discovering unexpected joy in the delicate art of calligraphy and the mechanical precision of letterpress printing.Having had a successful career in mechanical engineering, including testing satellites for space missions, Florrie's neurological condition – affecting her hands and arms – forced her to eventually reconsider her career path and find a new way to balance her energy. During a two-year recovery period, Florrie had turned to watercolour painting and calligraphy, finding that these artistic pursuits offered something her illness had taken away: control. The conversation reveals fascinating parallels between Florrie's engineering background and her current creative practice. The same precision and problem-solving mindset that helped her test rocket thrusters and solar panels now informs her approach to calligraphy and her operation of "Penelope," a 1.25-ton vintage printing press from 1960 that dominates her studio.Today, Florrie creates bespoke wedding stationery that tells each couple's unique story, and beyond the commercial aspects of her business she finds profound fulfilment in volunteering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, creating materials for children's wish events.Perhaps most touching is Florrie's description of finding her tribe among fellow letterpress enthusiasts: "When you meet some letterpress friends it's fantastic because they're just as crazy as you are." Florrie's story reminds us that creativity isn't just about making beautiful things – it's about finding new paths forward when traditional ones become inaccessible, and discovering community in unexpected places.creativityfound.co.ukResearched, edited and produced by Claire Waite BrownMusic: Day Trips by Ketsa Undercover / Ketsa Creative Commons License Free Music Archive - Ketsa - Day TripsFind out more about the late summer writing retreat Affordably advertise on this podcast by emailing claire@creativityfound.co.uk, or book a call here.

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. It's been around for 40 years now, though it only ran for 10. And boy, was it a good one. Plus our usual crazy talk, geek news, and tangents

Satellite images show that the rebel Sudanese RSF group has built 31km of fortifications around the last government stronghold in Darfur, as it carries out atrocities in the city's suburbs. The researcher who made the findings says the group is creating a 'kill box' around el-Fasher, while a doctor trapped inside says there is so little food in the besieged city that his hospital cannot feed the children they treat. Also in the programme: Yemen's Houthi movement confirms that Israel has killed their Prime Minister and other senior figures in an air strike; and we speak to the researchers behind a ground-breaking AI powered stethoscope.(Pictured:A satellite image of Alsen village, west of el-Fasher, taken on 6 July.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 will not hit the Earth in 2032, has a 4% chance of hitting the moon, and most likely will pass within 900 miles of the lunar surface. If 2024 YR4 were to impact the Moon it could send about the mass of several small cargo ships into space with lunar escape velocity and could pose a threat to our satellites.

A federal program launched in 2021 offered billions of dollars for states to improve internet access. The funding was supposed to bring high-speed fiber optic service to rural areas. But companies using other technology, like satellites, won most of the locations.

Space may look empty, but it's crowded, fragile, and under threat. Former Congresswoman Jane Harman and Lieutenant General (Ret.) Nina Armagno — former U.S. Space Force Director of Staff who oversaw missile warning, satellite operations, and space launches — reveal how satellites quietly keep the world running, and how quickly it could all go dark. Imagine waking up to no internet, no GPS, and no air travel. They share what's happening above our heads, and why we can't afford to ignore it.

Can the crew rescue the million-dollar space satellite lost in orbit? Two car-sized satellites, worth $75 million each, are stranded in space. Five astronauts have been selected to bring them back. It's something that has never been attempted before.In outer space, even the simplest of tasks can be a challenge, let alone trying to snatch a satellite from orbit. And right when the crew think they've got it all under control, they discover a problem they're not prepared for. It's time to improvise. This episode contains strong language. Some scenes in this series use recreated sound effects.13 Minutes Presents: The Space Shuttle is a BBC Audio Science Unit production for the BBC World Service.
