This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. The useful niche that quadrupedal robots seem to have found for themselves, at least for the moment, is infrastructure inspection. They’ve had a mild to moderate amount of success monitoring industrial sites, tracking construction…

Civilian Satellites Descend Into Very Low Earth Orbit

The first commercial very low-Earth orbit (VLEO) satellite will probably launch before the end of December, depending on how things go at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) and EOI Space. Both companies claim they are leading the way on an over-the-horizon idea that will bring satellites more down-to-Earth…

3 Paths to Sharper Images
