That would have sent a real message. It would show they have skin in the game and truly…

Satellite density in Earth’s orbit has increased exponentially in recent years, with lower costs of small satellites allowing governments, researchers, and private companies to launch and operate some 2,877 satellites into orbit in 2023 alone.

Along with the manifold benefits of these satellite-enabled technologies, however, come increased safety and security risks, as well as environmental concerns. More accurate and efficient methods of monitoring and modeling satellite behavior are urgently needed to prevent collisions and other disasters.To address this challenge,…

In November last year, Kenya Power invited private firms to bid for the deals that initially targeted slums in Nairobi, in what would have been a first for the company to delegate such a…
