For decades, Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) operators have dominated the satellite communications industry, positioned 22,000 miles above the Earth. However, the rise of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) networks, such as Elon Musk’s Starlink, is challenging the traditional GEO model and forcing industry incumbents to innovate rapidly. The Impact of LEO Networks LEO networks, operating at…
Recent research indicates that Helium-3, a rare isotope formed during the early solar system, may be locked within Earth’s solid core. This discovery could provide insights into how quickly the planet was formed. Unlike helium-4, which is commonly produced through radioactive decay, helium-3 originates from the primordial gas cloud that shaped the solar system. While…
