New satellite photos show an unusual ship tied up at the civilian Guangzhou Shipyard in southern China’s Guangdong Province. It’s a new design. And it is clearly a ship explicitly built for ...

In a paper published this week in Nature, Google researchers demonstrated they were able to use GPS signal measurements ...

The Pentagon’s first batch of new and more capable GPS satellites is as much as eight to 11 months behind the desired delivery schedule because contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. is having ...

The Space Force’s desired “Available for Launch” delivery of the first GPS IIIF-model satellite, previously projected for April 2026, is now slated for November of that year. Successive deliveries ...

Researchers from RMIT University have developed a new satellite imagery tool capable of detecting plastic debris on beaches by analyzing how sand, water, and plastics reflect light. This method, ...

The Pentagon’s first batch of new and more capable GPS satellites is as much as eight to 11 months behind the desired delivery schedule because contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. is having difficulty ...

Scientists from Australia have successfully used satellites to track plastic waste with a new method that can tell the difference between sand, water and plastic. The yellow spot shows the plastic ...

But a new satellite imagery technique could help in those cleanups, since it allows researchers to see plastic on beaches from space. Plastic is an increasingly concerning issue, but in marine ...

A new satellite imagery technique allows scientists to see plastic on beaches from space. The technique can identify differences in how sand, water, and plastic reflect light, enabling researchers ...

This initiative aims to augment the existing GPS constellation with small, low-cost satellites to enhance resilience for both military and civil users. The program’s initial phase, Lite Evolving ...

This is where the new study comes in. Using satellite imagery, researchers have developed the Beached Plastic Debris Index (BPDI), which could be a game-changer in tracking beach pollution.

A recently published paper in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin introduced the Beached Plastic Debris Index (BPDI), a novel spectral index designed to identify plastic debris on beaches using ...
