This launch will be a major first, as it will be the first time 5G mmWave spectrum tech is used to transmit high-speed, low-latency internet from a satellite to anywhere on Earth.
5G mmWave is a high-frequency radio wave technology used in the fifth generation of wireless communication technology.
It operates between 24 and 100 GHz to enable very fast wireless communication.
From helping catalyze interstellar reactions and fueling the birth of stars to its presence in neighborhood gas giants like Saturn and Jupiter, trihydrogen, or H3+, is best known as the “the molecule that made the universe.”
While we have a clear picture of how the majority of H3+ is formed—a hydrogen molecule, or H2, colliding with its ionized counterpart, H2+—scientists are keen to understand alternative sources of H3+ and to better measure its abundance throughout the cosmos.
Now, in a new paper appearing in Nature Communications, Michigan State researchers Piotr Piecuch and Marcos Dantus and their groups and collaborators have provided unprecedented insights into the formation of H3+ in compounds known as methyl halogens and pseudohalogens.

Diamonds on Mercury!
Join aerospace engineer Mike DiVerde as he takes you on a fascinating journey exploring NASA’s groundbreaking MESSENGER mission to Mercury. Discover how this remarkable spacecraft mapped our solar system’s innermost planet and uncovered extraordinary findings, including evidence of a potential diamond layer deep within Mercury’s core. Learn about the sophisticated instruments that revealed Mercury’s mysterious surface features, unique geology, and core composition. This comprehensive exploration combines cutting-edge space technology with planetary science to unravel Mercury’s secrets, from its graphite-rich surface to its intriguing magma ocean past. Whether you’re a space enthusiast or simply curious about our cosmic neighborhood, this video offers an expert’s perspective on one of NASA’s most successful deep space missions.
China’s Zhurong rover used ground-penetrating radar to find signs of beaches beneath Mars’ surface, adding evidence to the idea the planet hosted an ancient ocean.
Ultra–high-power particle pulses could boost x-ray science and laboratory astrophysics.
I was called to science to seek a truth that transcended humanity. What I found instead is much more rewarding.
A breakthrough simulation reveals how magnetars form and evolve, solving a key mystery about their magnetic origins.
Magnetars are a rare type of neutron star.
A neutron star is the collapsed core of a large (between 10 and 29 solar masses) star. Neutron stars are the smallest and densest stars known to exist. Though neutron stars typically have a radius on the order of just 10 — 20 kilometers (6 — 12 miles), they can have masses of about 1.3 — 2.5 that of the Sun.
