How satellite-powered Smart-IoT will speed the connected vehicles revolution
Vehicle monitoring tools such as tire sensors and trailer tracking devices for large trucks as well as fleet-management and owner-level enhancements all require constant connectivity anywhere.
Top 10 findings from Pew Research on Americans’ views of space
NASA remains popular while concerns exist about the handling of space debris by private space companies
How radiation impacts satellites
While satellites are remarkably good at providing communications in places terrestrial networks cannot, they all must be designed to handle the harsh environment of space.
Exploring different altitudes within low Earth orbit
From 160 km up to 2,000 km, each section has particular attributes — and challenges
What are the components of a satellite?
Artificial satellites, which are objects people have built and launched into orbit using rockets, come in all shapes and sizes and orbit the planet in a variety of different altitudes, but most have some basic elements in common.
How satellites can create cell towers in the sky
One of the most intriguing aspects of 5G is its potential to be used with satellites to create "cell towers in the sky." This would allow for global coverage and high-speed connectivity, even in remote areas.
Collaboration is key for improving space networks
Via Satellite Magazine webinar highlights the value of multiple technologies working together to benefit end users
How satellites use the electromagnetic spectrum
Satellites use different parts of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum depending on their mission.

Rajaratnam joins E-Space from Meta Platforms, where she was responsible for engaging with governments to ensure the successful deployment of Meta's infrastructure projects an
FAQ: Understanding space debris
Ever since the advent of the space age, humankind has been creating more and more orbital debris — sometimes by accident when objects break or smash into each other, or intentionally when defunct satellites are left in orbit for years or decades ...
Satellite smartphone connectivity is coming, but IoT will get there first
It’s far more likely we’ll see 5G, satellite-connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the near term — a primary focus of the upcoming E-Space constellation. Most IoT devices require only small amounts of bandwidth to send and receive data, making it simpler to create a global network to serve them.
A world of connected sensors
Internet of Things devices are spreading rapidly, and so is the need for connecting them
Space: It’s smaller than we think
For much of humanity’s time on Earth, the oceans seemed impossibly vast and indestructible. Over millennia, we treated it as an infinite resource and transportation medium — and polluted it with reckless abandon. We’re only now confronting the consequences of ocean degradation brought about by centuries of unregulated carelessness.
The same is now happening with space, another seemingly vast entity so large as to be immune from human destruction or waste.
“Space may be practically limitless, b

Radio waves and how satellites use them
In 2012, UNESCO dedicated Feb. 13 as “World Radio Day.” The idea is to celebrate the many ways in which radio brings us together, recognizing the fact that it’s still the most widely consumed media across the globe.
Moon and Mars missions call for some of the world's largest antennas
At its facility near Atlanta, Viasat builds large-aperture antennas up to 24 meters
Satellite internet latency: What's the big deal?
Radio waves sent from a satellite are moving at the speed of light, but because of the greater distances the signal must travel, the latency is higher than that of terrestrial providers. A cable internet signal, for example, may have an average latency of 30 milliseconds (ms), while a signal from a satellite in geostationary orbit might be 600 ms.
