L3Harris to supply imager for South Korea's geostationary weather satellite

L3Harris has been selected to provide a spaceborne imaging instrument for South Korea's next geostationary weather satellite. The imager will support weather observation from GEO, enhancing Seoul's satellite-based forecasting and environmental monitoring for the Korean Peninsula and surrounding waters once the satellite is operational.

Study: earthquake sensors can track reentering space junk by sensing sonic booms A new study finds seismic networks can detect sonic booms from reentering space objects, enabling more precise tracking of space junk during atmospheric reentry. The method uses earthquake monitors to time and localize incoming pieces, potentially improving ground‑impact predictions and post‑reentry attribution.
