Multi Sector Planner (MSP) Air traffic control in the en route airspace environment in the United States (U.S.) had traditionally been performed by a team, consisting of a radar-controller (R-side) and a second controller referred to as a data-controller (D-side) or a radar-associate. Several developments in the technology supporting air traffic management- digital data communication […] The post…

Orbital Sidekick, Inc. operates a three-satellite constellation carrying identical hyperspectral instruments that deliver high-resolution (8-meter) hyperspectral imagery across 472 spectral bands to support a range of Earth science applications, including the detailed analysis of biodiversity, ecosystem health, and surface geology; greenhouse gas detection; and detecting solid chemicals related t…

How do scientists studying space with data from a telescope hundreds of thousands of miles away know that what they are seeing is real? A new NASA project, Artifact InSPECtor, invites you to find out – and by doing so, to help missions like Euclid and NASA’s new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope answer fundamental […] The post Help Refine Data from Space Telescopes with Artifact InSPECtor appeare…
