China achieves first-ever laser measurement of Earth-Moon distance

China has made a significant advancement in deep-space exploration with its successful satellite laser ranging at the Earth-Moon distance. The achievement, announced by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), marks the first-ever precise laser measurement of a satellite, DRO-A, located approximately 350,000 kilometers away. This measurement was made possible by a unique single-corner-cube reflector onboard the satellite and a ground-based 1.2-meter telescope system.

This breakthrough places China among a select few nations capable of performing high-precision lunar-distance measurements. Experts believe such accuracy is essential for future lunar missions and deep-space navigation. Zhang Wei, the chief engineer of the project, emphasized that the success of this laser ranging lays the foundation for centimeter-level precision in lunar and deep-space measurements.

The satellite's reflector, developed by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, overcame several challenges, including precise angular control and maintaining thermal stability in extreme space conditions. Additionally, the Yunnan Astronomical Observatory played a critical role in optimizing the ground system to detect extremely weak signals and make fine adjustments to the telescope, ensuring successful measurement.

This achievement, led by the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites and other CAS institutes, demonstrates China's growing capabilities in space technology. Future plans aim to expand participation in ground station operations and refine reflector designs, further solidifying China's leadership in Earth-Moon exploration

Apre yon manda ki te make pa inefikasite ak vyolans gang k ap monte, Leslie Voltaire remèt pouvwa a bay konseye parèy li a Fritz Alphonse Jean, ki pwomèt yon apwòch sekirite pi di.

PORT-AU-PRINCE - Fritz Alphonse Jean, reprezantan Akò Montana a, te prete sèman ofisyèlman kòm prezidan Konsèy Prezidansyèl Tranzisyon an (CPT) vandredi 7 mas 2025, nan plas Leslie Voltaire nan pati politik Fanmi Lavalas la, ki gen senk mwa manda li te genyen lonbraj akòz pi mal kondisyon sekirite yo. Seremoni pasaj la nan Villa d'Accueil nan Musseau, Pòtoprens, te patisipe nan manm kò diplomatik la ak ofisyèl gouvènman an.

Voltaire, ki te nonmen nan mwa Oktòb 2024, te fè fas ak gwo vyolans gang ki te paralize efò administrasyon li a. Nan diskou orevwa li a, li te defann lidèchip li, li mete aksan sou mezi kle yo te pran anba manda li a, tankou:

Deplwaman Fòs Lame Ayisyen (FAD'H) nan Vertières, Depatman Nò.
Ogmantasyon nan pèsonèl lapolis ak ranfòsman nan Misyon Sipò pou Sekirite Miltinasyonal (MSS).
Kreyasyon Konsèy Sekirite Nasyonal la.
Fòmasyon yon Konsèy Elektoral Pwovizwa apre yon reta de uit ane.

"Pandan senk mwa ki sot pase yo, nimewo polis yo te ogmante, ak ranfòsman militè yo sou wout," Voltaire te di

Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down and broke apart.

This time, wreckage from the latest explosion was seen streaming from the skies over Florida. It was not immediately known whether the spacecraft's self-destruct system had kicked in to blow it up.

The 403-foot rocket blasted off from Texas. SpaceX caught the first-stage booster back at the pad with giant mechanical arms, but engines on the spacecraft on top started shutting down as it streaked eastward for what was supposed to be a controlled entry over the Indian Ocean, half a world

Starship reached nearly 90 miles in altitude before trouble struck and before four mock satellites could be deployed. It was not immediately clear where it came down, but images of flaming debris were captured from Florida, including near Cape Canaveral, and posted online.

The space-skimming flight was supposed to last an hour.

"Unfortunately this happened last time too, so we have some practice at this now," SpaceX flight commentator Dan Huot said from the launch site.
