  Warsaw, Poland (SPX) Feb 12, 2020 We are observing a considerable increase in the demand for satellite systems around the world. Various independent sources forecast that the nano- and microsatellite market will grow from $1.5 billion in 2019 to $3.6 billion in 2024, and will keep growing - to even slightly more than just over 5 billion by 2027. Consequences of such growth include orbits getting crowded, and technological competition developing. At the same time, space missions have always been marked by high operating costs and a high ... read more |

 Tempe AZ (SPX) Jan 14, 2020 
If you jump out of bed too quickly, you might feel a bit light-headed.
That's because when you're lying down, gravity causes your blood to pool in the lower parts of your body rather than in your brain. Fortunately, when you stand up, within a fraction of a second, your heart begins beating faster, moving the blood to your brain and allowing you to maintain your balance.
The opposite ... more |
