1276134610/13/2026ViasatSan Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos, CARadar using end-to-end relayA multi-static synthetic aperture radar using beamforming processing is described. A reception processing system may process feed element signals (e.g., from feed elements on a satellite or from access node terminals in an end-to-end relay system) according to multiple beam weight sets, each corresponding to a beam coverage pattern including one or more radar image pixel beams to generate a set of beam signals. The feed element signals may represent signal energy from a reflected illumination signal (e.g., beacon signal, communication signal), or passively received signal energy (e.g., without...
1276249410/13/2026NASAWashington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WVSystem and methods for risk and risk precursor identification in commercial aviation operationsSystem and methods for risk and risk precursor identification in commercial aviation operations according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with a source of operation flight track data, a set of risk determination models containing instructions on how to process a set of received operational flight track data, a risk determination API for activating one or more risk models to process the set of received operational flight track data, and a user interface for communicating with the risk determination API. Each risk model may be trained to analyze flight track da...
1276317310/13/2026NASAWashington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WVDetermining molecules to implement in refrigeration systemsA system can train a machine learning model to predict one or more properties of a molecule. The one or more properties may include a temperature of fusion and/or an entropy of fusion. The machine learning model can be trained based on a sample of molecules from a plurality of molecules. The system can apply the machine learning model to the plurality of molecules to predict the one or more properties for molecules of the plurality of molecules. The system can determine a plurality of candidate molecules from the plurality of molecules. The plurality of candidate molecules may be determined ba...
1276384510/13/2026RTX BBN TECHNOLOGIESBoston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NHSpace cloud mesh architectureSystems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media provide resilient space cloud architectures. A device includes a distributed, disrupted, disconnected and denied D4 enabled satellite configured for D4 operations in a mesh network of D4 enabled satellites, the D4 enabled satellite comprising virtual network functions (VNFs), a network virtual function orchestrator (NFVO), and a software defined network (SDN) controller configured for secure VNF-VNF or VNF-ground communications....
1276456910/13/2026Lunar OutpostDenver-Aurora, COModular environmental monitoring deviceAspects of the present disclosure relate to a modular environmental monitoring device. The monitoring device may include a core subassembly that provides core device functionality (e.g., data processing and communication management). A variety of modular subassemblies may be used in combination with the core subassembly, such that functionality of the monitoring device may be changed according to an environment in which the device will be used. For example, different subassemblies may offer different communication modes, such that the monitoring device may be reconfigured to use different wire...
