Researchers are using satellites to track how much water is not just in the river, but held in nearby snow and soil. That increased accuracy could help cities and farms plan for shortages.

Nearly 15 years after its assembly in Logan, this NASA spacecraft’s mission has exceeded all hopes.

The move was announced Monday after the event's chair noted that the conference has overgrown the infrastructure of Logan. This year alone, there are about 3,700-3,800 attendees all traveling from nearly 40 countries.

The night sky and its constellations have guided sailors and traveler since time immemorial. Similar principles are used to identify a satellite’s position through the use of a camera-like instrument called a star tracker. The Paris-based space instrumentation company, Sodern, displayed their star tracker at USU's 36th annual Small Sat conference.

STP-H6-SSIVP was attached to the International Space Station from 2019-2022 and was designed to test supercomputing in space. Evan Gretok says his work was to use artificial intelligence to train the satellite to autonomously identify and classify satellite imagery.

Several Salt Lake residents reported seeing a line of bright star-like lights moving across the sky Sunday night. Many believed it to be a UFO, but it was actually Starlink, a chain of satellites.
