Encryption in space can be tricky. Even if you do everything right, a cosmic ray might come along and flip a bit, sabotaging the whole secure protocol. So if you can’t radiation-harden the computer, what can
Cryptographic ICE Cube tests orbital cybersecurity protocols aboard the ISS Continue »
Launch vehicles and their enormous rocket engines tend to receive the lion’s share of attention when it comes to space-related propulsion, but launch only takes you to the edge of space — and space is a
Tesseract makes spacecraft propulsion smaller, greener, stronger Continue »
VCRs didn’t really exist when the first men walked on the moon, but NASA was ahead of the curve and recorded the event for posterity on videotapes — which just sold at auction for $1.8 million.
Original Apollo 11 landing videotapes sell for $1.8M Continue »
