The U.S. Space Development Agency and the Army Develop
Alternative positioning, navigation, and timing scheme based on transport layer
NASDA is working with the Army to develop a satellite-based alternative positioning-navigation (PNT) solution in a GPS-denial environment. At present, the U.S. Army receives the anti-jamming military coding signal of the GPS constellation with the help of the chip upgraded in the "Military GPS User Equipment" (MGUE) increment 2, but only after the launch of the Space Development Agency's "Transport Layer" Phase 2 satellite in 2026, the relevant signal can be used to provide high-speed data relay around the world.

Peregrine Falcon lunar lander
Planned onLaunched on January 8, 2024
The Peregrine Lunar Lander Lunar Lander is scheduled to be launched on January 8, 2024. The lander was planned to land in the area of Sinus viscositatis. The scientific objectives of the mission include the study of the lunar exosphere, the thermal properties and hydrogen content of lunar soil, the magnetic field, the radiation environment, and the testing of advanced solar arrays. The lander has a payload mass capacity of 90 kg and will carry about 10 different types of payloads.

Rocket Lab signs the launch
Agreement for the Earth Observation Satellite of Korea
Rocket Lab recently signed a launch services agreement to launch an Earth observation satellite for the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) during a ride-sharing mission in the first half of 2024. It is reported that the satellite, named Neonsat-1, is a high-resolution optical satellite that will be deployed as a technical demonstration of future Earth observation constellations. In addition, the carpool mission will deploy NASA's advanced composite solar sail system, which will be launched from Rocket Lab 1 launch site in New Zealand.

Captured by the Indian "Helios-L1".
A new batch of images of the sun
The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope on Aditya-L1, India's first solar probe, captures images of the Sun in the near-ultraviolet band, providing insights into the study of the Sun's photosphere and chromosphere. The Indian Space Research Organisation said the telescope's observations will help scientists study the dynamic coupling of the magnetized solar atmosphere and help them severely limit the effects of solar radiation on the Earth's climate.
