The device is paving the way for deep space GPS.
We still don't know what dark energy *is*, but we found out another thing it isn't.
Sending data from the International Space Station to Earth just got much faster — NASA was able to double the rate at which science data is transferred, opening the door to doing the same in other exploratory missions. NASA’s missions, both near and far, rely on quick and effective communications to relay critical mission data […]
