The first elements of the Russian Orbital Station, or ROS, were to launch in 2027
so it would be ready for human habitation in 2028.
Upon completion in the mid-2030s, the station would encompass seven shiny new modules,
potentially including a private habitat for space tourists.
It would be so sophisticated that the station could fly autonomously for months if needed.
Importantly, the Russian station was also to fly in a polar orbit at about 400 km.

I don't think the American media will ever learn. The day they 'resist' as they are taken off the air by the fully authoritarian regime they'll probably say something like:

The new license will only allow reruns of the Presidents past speeches to play 24/7. After an immediate stay was requested by this station, the Supreme Court has ruled the change to be lawful. Goodnight America.”

Subway station study reveals fungal communities
Subways don't just bring people together. They're also a hub of microbial activity, including fungi. Over the course of a year, an international team of researchers collected air samples from 15 stations in the Beijing subway network, one of the largest in the world, and cataloged the fungal species they found.

For Canberra, this means safer, quicker responses. The cameras allow remote operators to judge smoke colour, plume height, wind conditions, terrain and accessibility - all before a fire truck leaves a station.

This paper investigates the localization, synchronization, and speed estimation of a mobile user equipment (UE) leveraging integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), in particular low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. We focus on a minimal setup in which the UE received signal from only one base station (BS) and one LEO satellite. We derive a generic signal model accounting for mobility, clock and frequency offsets, based on which a hierarchy of simplified models are proposed and o…

The normal forms provide useful approximations for many trajectories of interest within the circular restricted three-body problem. This paper aims to thoroughly compare two of these forms: the Birkhoff normal form and the resonant normal form, highlighting the strengths of each for the representation of center manifold trajectories.
