NASA Tests Scalable Satellite Tech to Launch Sensors Quicker NASA’s Athena Economical Payload Integration Cost mission, or Athena EPIC, is a test launch for an innovative, scalable space vehicle design to support future missions. The small satellite platform is engineered to share resources among the payloads onboard by managing routine functions so the individual payloads don’t have to. This technology results in lower costs […] The post NASA Tests Scalable Satellite Tech to Launch Sensors Quicker first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

Studying Storms from Space Station Science in Space June 2025 Scientists use instruments on the International Space Station to study phenomena in Earth’s ionosphere or upper atmosphere including thunderstorms, lightning, and transient luminous events (TLEs). TLEs take many forms, including blue jets, discharges that grow upward into the stratosphere from cloud tops, and colorful bursts of energy above storms called […] The post Studying Storms from Space Station first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.
