Axiom Space, in collaboration with NASA
NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is the United States government agency responsible for the nation’s civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Established in 1958 by the National Aeronautics and Space Act, NASA has led the U.S. in space exploration efforts, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and the Space Shuttle program.
As such, during the recent tests, NASA staged an F-15D just 47 feet (14 meters) from the X-59 to “confirm there’s compatibility between the two aircraft, even at close proximity,” Lin said.
After that, the F-15D and X-59 were further separated on the ground to sit at a distance of 500 feet (152 meters) from one another, which simulated the conditions in which they will fly together.
“You want to make discoveries of any potential electromagnetic interference or electromagnetic compatibility issues on the ground first,” Lin said. “This reduces risk and ensures we’re not learning about problems in the air.”
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.
Using the Frontier supercomputer, researchers have cracked a major challenge in nuclear physics: accurately predicting nuclear structure and forces at an unprecedented level of detail.
Their discoveries, including new insights into the shape-shifting nature of the 30-neon nucleus, could revolutionize scientific fields ranging from quantum mechanics to national security.

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.
