Conflicting methodologies for estimating the CO₂ intensity of the space sector are beginning to emerge because of a lack of publicly available data, resulting in extensive variations that undermine the credibility of reported results.

A uniform mathematical framework based on probabilistic graphical models drives the digital twin technologies towards dynamical control with real-time data.

Optical communications will provide the next generation of interplanetary missions with high-bit-rate data transmission, requiring modifications on the ground and in space, explains Leslie Deutsch.
