RBC Signals to resell Apolink’s in‑orbit relay services to close satellite connectivity gaps

RBC Signals will resell Apolink's proposed in‑orbit relay services to give operators persistent command‑and‑control and data connectivity when satellites pass beyond terrestrial ground‑station line of sight. The deal integrates Apolink's relay capability into RBC's ground‑segment portfolio to close coverage gaps for LEO spacecraft.

KAIST 'laser ruler' synchronises radio telescopes with optical frequency combs to sharpen black‑hole images Researchers at KAIST developed an optical frequency‑comb “laser ruler” that delivers an ultra‑precise reference signal to synchronise multiple radio telescopes. The laser‑based system solves long‑standing phase‑calibration limits of electronic methods—especially at higher observing frequencies—promising markedly sharper images of black holes and other distant objects.
