The KILSWITCH program was developed with involvement by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPAA), the Pentagon organization that has overseen research for everything from sniper rounds that can change direction to space planes that deploy satellites.
Frontex, the European equivalent of the Department of Homeland Security, plans to deploy satellites and drones to guard Europe's borders, and counsels its security forces on the distinction between directing "returnees" back to Africa and engaging in pushback, a violation of international law.
AWS and IBM intend to deploy satellite-based cloud connectivity.
In this first phase of the field experiment we worked with Daniel Webster of the Cascade Research Collective to deploy satellite-linked dive recorders on nine short-finned pilot whales and five Cuvier's beaked whales.
Satellite provider Space Systems Loral (SSL) and NASA have completed a key step towards building a spacecraft that can service satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), potentially extending their useful life and making it possible to move forward on building a whole new industry out of deployed satellite service operations.
"The target was spinning like you would expect an uncooperative piece of junk to behave, but you can see clearly that the net captures it, and we're very happy with the way the experiment went". If this were a real capture, the net would be tethered to the deploying satellite, which would then tug the junk out of the sky.
With spacecraft separated & solar arrays deployed, satellite is on its way to boost weather observations: https://t.co/FpLMvoHby4 pic.twitter.com//t.co/FpLMvoHby4
In 2009, they established joint control centers and deployed satellite vessel monitoring transceivers aboard all vessels of 20 gross tons to stop illegal fishing of the national commercial fleet.
We deployed satellite- and GPS-telemetry collars on wolves, elk, and cattle (n = 16, 10 and 78, respectively) and measured seven prey response variables during periods of wolf presence and absence (speed, path sinuosity, time spent head-up, distance to neighboring animals, terrain ruggedness, slope and distance to forest).
On the Shuttle expeditions, Ochoa conducted studies of the Sun's effect on the Earth's atmosphere and climate, deploying satellites like ATLAS-2 and ATLAS 3.
