Die Satellitenkonnektivität für Smartphones hat sich auf dem iPhone von Apple als wertvoll erwiesen, auf Android-Geräten ist diese Funktion jedoch nur schwer verfügbar. Diese Woche erscheint jedoch eine neue „Satelliten-SOS“-Funktion auf Google Pixel-Telefonen, und wir haben eine Vorschau auf die Möglichkeiten, die damit möglich sein werden.
Wenn Sie heute auf einem Pixel-Telefon in „Einstellungen“ „Sicherheit und Notfall“ eintauchen, wird höchstwahrscheinlich „Satelliten-SOS“ zwischen „Notfall-SOS“ und „Autounfallerkennung“ angezeigt. Google hat die Einstellung scheinbar irrtümlicherweise durch ein aktuelles Update der Adaptive Connectivity Services
It lights up the night sky and has fascinated us since the dawn of humanity.
But just how big is the moon compared to Earth, exactly how far away is it and why do we only see one side of our lunar satellite?
These pie charts, tables and graphics reveal all you need to know about the glowing white sphere that orbits us from around 239,000 miles (385,000 km) away.
MailOnline also looks at the different phases of the moon,
Hamas has claimed that Israel’s ‘proof’ over who is to blame for the deadly Gaza hospital bombing is an ‘outrageous lie’ – despite the IDF producing a wiretapped call and video showing a ‘misfiring’ rocket to prove they didn’t cause the blast.
The terror group made the claim hours after Israel shared an audio clip in which two alleged Hamas terrorists can be heard discussing the explosion and confirming the rocket came from Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) – an independent
SpaceX successfully launched a 5-metric-ton Intelsat communications satellite to orbit on Thursday, August 3.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the satellite blasted off from the launchpad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1 a.m. (10 p.m. Wednesday).
The mission marked the sixth flight for the first-stage Falcon 9 booster, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III-6, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, and one Starlink mission.
As usual, SpaceX used multiple cameras to live stream the key parts of the flight,
The European Space Agency said Thursday that it is using artificial intelligence for satellite navigation.
The engineering teams of the agency’s NAVISP program are working with European industry and academics to “invent the future of navigation,” it said, resulting in a growing portfolio of services to improve space and Earth weather forecasting, enhance autonomous car and boat performance and help to identify rogue drones in sensitive airspace.
The program aims to improve “satnav” performance by combining Global Navigation Satellite Systems

A dead British-built satellite is set to plummet to Earth later with the help of a never-before-tried manoeuvre to bring it down safely.
Mission controllers have embarked on a daring and unprecedented attempt to steer the 1.3-tonne Aeolus probe into a position that will see it crash harmlessly into the Atlantic Ocean.
The weather-monitoring satellite was not designed for a controlled re-entry at the end of its mission, but the European Space Agency (ESA) wants to use what little fuel
British-built satellite Aeolus, dubbed “the impossible satellite”, is scheduled to crash into the Atlantic Ocean today after completing its five-year mission to map the planet’s complex system of winds.
The pioneering spacecraft earned its nickname after scientists struggled to develop an ultraviolet instrument that could operate for long enough in the vacuum of space.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has been preparing for the “assisted re-entry” for the last week, describing the satellite as “our trailblazing keeper of the winds”.
The number of known mountains in Earth’s oceans has roughly doubled. Global satellite observations have revealed nearly 20,000 previously unknown seamounts, researchers report in the April Earth and Space Science.
Just as mountains tower over Earth’s surface, seamounts also rise above the ocean floor. The tallest mountain on Earth, as measured from base to peak, is Mauna Kea, which is part of the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain.

Chinese-American relations took a nosedive at the weekend when the US destroyed a ‘spy’ balloon launched from Beijing.
The massive white orb had drifted across US airspace before being shot down by a fighter jet over the Atlantic on live TV on Saturday.
China claimed ownership of the balloon and insisted it was an unmanned weather surveillance aircraft that had veered off-course, but the US remains unconvinced.
US officials have said it was being used for surveillance and intelligence collection,
