Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) provides the finest angular resolution of all astronomical observation techniques. However, observations with Earth-based instruments are approaching fundamental limits on resolution. These can only be overcome by placing at least one interferometric element in space. In this paper, several concepts spaceborne VLBI systems discussed, including TeraHertz Exploration and Zooming-in for Astrophysics (THEZA) Black Hole Explorer (BHEX). Spaceborne...
The Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) is a next-generation space very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) mission concept that will extend the ground-based millimeter/submillimeter arrays into space. mission, closely aligned with science priorities of Japanese VLBI community, involves an active engagement this community in development resulting formation Japan Consortium. Here we present current vision for ranging from scientific objectives to instrumentation. Consortium anticipates wide range...
Recent advancements in the development of Applied-Field Magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters (AF-MPDTs) present themselves to be an increasingly promising propulsion technology for deep space exploration missions. Various entities, ranging from state-sponsored institutions privately-owned startups, have developed AF-MPDTs across a wide range power levels. Current developments superconducting technologies, namely High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) coils such as REBCO, enabled research into...
The feasibility has been conducted of a multi-modal instrument called Oracle that was funded by ESA as part its 'Future EO passive optical missions for small satellites' initiative in 2018. facilitates the simultaneous retrieval ocean colour, sea skin temperature and aerosol depth using colour imager, thermal imager spectro-polarimeter respectively, to monitor changes marine health. designed accommodation microsatellite contains an internal calibration device, which can be used all three...
