space

There are over 3,000 manmade satellites currently operating around Earth, but what are they actually being used for? Today, we’re talking about satellite applications.

We’ve been talking a lot about terrestrial communications technology recently. However, that’s not the only kind of communications technology we work with at Darwin. Today, we’re discussing different types of satellite orbit.

Let’s take a look at some of the research that’s brought us to this point: the earliest experiments involving plant matter in space.

Alas, our basil has met an unfortunate fate. Its end has things to teach the AstroPlant project, though, just as its life did.

Space is vast and beautiful, but it’s also largely barren. If we want to send astronauts into space for long periods, we’re faced with a lot of questions. How do we keep people fed in space, given that it costs thousands of pounds even to send a kilogram of supplies into low Earth orbit? How do we supply them with enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy? How do we look after their psychological health?
