Avoid Connection Breakdown for Space-to-Ground Communication

Unlike traditional radio frequency systems, lasercomm offers dramatically higher bandwidth and enhanced security, making it a key enabler for next-generation satellite missions and data-hungry applications. However, this leap in capability comes with new vulnerabilities—particularly the sensitivity of optical signals to atmospheric conditions. Even minor disruptions, such as cloud cover or atmospheric turbulence, can severely degrade or interrupt the laser link between space assets and ground

All-sky imagers for next level contrails observations

The European Union has been taking a groundbreaking step in addressing aviation’s climate impact by introducing mandatory monitoring and reporting of non-CO₂ emissions, including contrails, from January 2025. This initiative is part of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) framework and represents the first large-scale effort globally to systematically track contrails from flights within the European Economic Area (EEA). Contrails, which form when

Forecasting the impact of solar storms

Are we truly ready for the next solar storm? The Sun is more than just a source of light and heat—it is a dynamic and powerful force that can influence life on Earth in unexpected ways. Solar storms, caused by intense bursts of energy from the Sun have the potential to disrupt modern technology and pose risks to space travel, making it essential to

EUROCONTROL: State-of-the-art contrails observations

Contrails observations to reduce climate impact Contrails are the cloud-like formations created when aircraft exhaust mixes with cold high-altitude air. Recent studies suggest that their climate impact may be greater than that of carbon dioxide emissions from aviation, which has propelled contrails to the forefront of climate research, as the aviation industry seeks to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Understanding the formation, persistence, and
