In the 21st century, we treat connectivity as a convenience, and it stands at the forefront of modern economies, societies, and security systems. Yet, billions of people still live in areas with unreliable or no internet access like remote islands, rural communities, ships at sea and others which often fall into “digital blind spots” where […]

Space debris is no longer a distant concern; it’s a present and urgent issue threatening the sustainability of our activities in Earth’s orbit. Old satellites, rocket parts, and fragments resulting from collisions continue to accumulate in space, due to industry’s expansion. If we don’t act now, space debris could jeopardize the future of scientific missions, […]

Nowadays, data breaches and cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, raising the need for unbreakable encryption methods. One of the most promising tools in secure communication is Quantum Key Distribution. This method leverages the laws of quantum mechanics to generate and share encryption keys that are theoretically immune to intrusion. The ground-based system range is limited, […]

  The use of cutting-edge software architecture in space applications is pivotal for us to understand the intricacies of the cosmos and to enhance the efficiency of space missions. Modern space applications rely heavily on sophisticated software technologies to manage complex systems, control scientific instruments, process vast amounts of data, and ensure almost real-time communication.
