Oh my. And here I was about to get Starlink.

Starlink has suspended new subscriptions in Nairobi and neighbouring Kiambu, Machakos, Narok, Murang’a and Nakuru regions, citing a network capacity overload due to increased demand.

WASHINGTON — The Australian Department of Defence announced the cancellation of its JP9102 military satellite program, an estimated $5 billion project awarded to Lockheed Martin just 18 months ago, citing shifts in satellite technology and the market’s pivot toward multi-orbit space communications.

The cancellation of Australia’s JP9102 satellite program is yet another sign of the disruptive impact that low Earth orbit space internet services, led by the rapid growth of SpaceX’s Starlink, are having on the traditional satellite communications industry and government procurement models.

JP9102, or Defence Joint Project 9,102, was launched in 2021 with plans to develop between three to five geostationary satellites and ground systems, marking one of Australia’s most ambitious space infrastructure ventures.

A team including researchers from Seoul National University College of Engineering has developed neuromorphic hardware capable of performing artificial intelligence (AI) computations with ultra-low power consumption. The research, published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, addresses fundamental issues in existing intelligent semiconductor materials and devices while demonstrating potential for array-level technology.

Currently, vast amounts of power are consumed in parallel computing for processing big data in various fields such as the Internet of Things (IoT), user data analytics, generative AI, large language models (LLM), and autonomous driving. However, the conventional silicon-based CMOS semiconductor computing used for parallel computation faces problems such as high energy consumption, slower memory and processor speeds, and the physical limitations of high-density processes. This results in energy and carbon emission issues, despite AI’s positive contributions to daily life.

To address these challenges, it’s necessary to overcome the limitations of digital-based Von Neumann architecture computing. As such, the development of next-generation intelligent semiconductor-based neuromorphic hardware that mimics the working principles of the human brain has emerged as a critical task.

November will bring plenty to see in the night sky, including meteor showers rich with fireballs and a celestial alignment with the moon.

Twenty Starlink satellites were launched into space early Wednesday morning when a SpaceX rocket launched from the Santa Barbara County coast.

The rocket soared over the Southern California coast after the 5:07 a.m. launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base northwest of Santa Barbara.

Scientists have developed a new material: an ultra-thin film that can absorb over 99% of electromagnetic waves.

The Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) states it to be the “world’s first ultra-thin film composite material capable of absorbing over 99% of electromagnetic waves.”

This material is less than half a millimeter thick, but it can effectively shield against a wide range of frequencies, including those used by 5G, 6G, Wi-Fi, and autonomous vehicle radar.

Halloween is on Thursday, Oct. 31 — but parts of the Treasure Coast may get a nice treat the night before.

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, Oct. 30, to launch another payload of Starlink broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Depending on weather and visibility, parts of Indian River County might see a nice streak in the sky.

Below are suggestions on where to watch the rocket launch from this area and other things to know. If there are changes to the launch schedule, this story will be updated.
