We’re talking China EV exports, CML Micro of Maldon, and seeking novel electrolytes for solid-electrolyte lithium batteries… The Electronics Weekly team share some fingerposts – their picks of the week, in terms of announcements, developments, product releases, quotes or anything else in the wide world of electronics that caught their eye… Caroline Hayes, editor China eyes EV export markets as ...
After Nasa’s successful DART mission, to make a deflecting impact on an asteroid, comes the Milani nanosatellite, which is part of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) follow-up Hera mission… Milani has successfully passed its Test Readiness Review, Tyvak International has announced. The craft represents two firsts: it will be the first to orbit an asteroid, Dimorphos; and it will be ...
Aalyria has won a development contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to deploy Spacetime – its O-RAN compliant “network orchestration” technology – at the agency’s ECSAT 5G/6G Hub in Harwell, Oxfordshire. The goal is to “unlock new 5G/6G Terrestrial (TN) and Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) capabilities,” say the two parties, and Aalyria – a spin out from Google – is ...
With the Mars Rover aiming to launch in 2028, a key instrument for the £10m Rosalind Franklin Mars Rover will now be built in the UK, not Russia. The Space Minister Andrew Griffith has announced that a UK team has been awarded £10m to replace Russian components in the rover, which will be searching for signs of life on the ...
Ireland is set to launch its first spacecraft, the Educational Irish Research Satellite-1 (EIRSAT-1). This is a European Space Agency (ESA) project led by students at University College Dublin (UCD), and EIRSAT-1 – a 2U CubeSat – will provide an in-orbit demonstration of three Irish developed payloads. First, there is GMOD, a scintillator based detector, developed in UCD, which aims ...
The ESA has signalled its intent to foster commercial competition to deliver space cargo return services, following the ESA Space Summit in Seville. At the gathering, the idea for competition was announced – open to “innovative companies based in Europe” – for a space cargo service.

This week, for our technology editor, it's Toshiba announcing a 530μΩ (typ) 40V 200A mosfet with its die in a ~7x7mm package, or ~7x8.5mm if you include the gull-wing leads, for automotive applications.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has awarded Tyvak International a €4.5 million ($4.7 million) contract for a “proximity operations and in-orbit servicing mission” that will deploy a nanosatellite spacecraft from Space Rider. This is the planned European uncrewed robotic laboratory. Tyvak – specifically, the Italian corporate entity of the organisation – will be the prime contractor for the project that ...
The European Space Agency (ESA) has been conducting a technology demonstration of a wheeled robot for precise sample collections without human intervention. The reddish terrain is in Stevenage, not yet Mars. The rover is pictured, navigating the terrain of a quarry on its own and retrieving an object. The sample tubes, explains ESA, are a replica of the hermetically sealed ...
The European Space Agency (ESA) has opened what it describes as a "state-of-the-art conference centre" to help support the UK space industry.
