Superionic water's conductivity may influence the peculiar magnetic fields of Neptune and Uranus.

The research team's findings will be incorporated into computer simulations for further understanding.

The SLAC research team designed an experiment to create and study superionic water under extreme pressures and temperatures in a vacuum.

Neptune and Uranus have superionic water at their centers, which exists under extreme temperatures and pressures.

Each experiment utilized laser-driven shocks to create progressively higher pressures and specific temperature conditions mimicking those inside ice giant planets.

Using X-ray diffraction, the team mapped the crystalline packing structures of superionic water over various temperature, pressure, and time ranges.

This research team intended to investigate the phase diagram of superionic water to understand the boundaries between different crystalline structures.

The coexistence of BCC and FCC packing structures was frequently observed under certain conditions.

Eutelsat Group, headquartered in Paris, was officially formed following the merger of the French company Eutelsat and the British OneWeb in September 2023.

The availability of the latest satellites will ensure full operational continuity for customers of the constellation, gradually replacing earlier batches that are reaching the end of their useful life.

Airbus Defence and Space has secured a contract from Eutelsat for the construction of 340 OneWeb low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.

The OneWeb LEO satellite network by Eutelsat provides global high-speed and low-latency connectivity.

Eutelsat will also evaluate opportunities for new business models with these latest satellites, particularly through the capacity for hosting embedded payloads.

The constellation consists of over 600 satellites flying in 12 orbital planes at an altitude of 1,200 kilometers, delivering high-speed internet to all corners of the planet.

The group operates a fleet of 36 GEO satellites for high-capacity broadcasting and connectivity services, integrated with the OneWeb LEO constellation.

The new satellites will incorporate technological updates, including advanced digital channelizers, improving onboard processing capabilities, efficiency, and flexibility.

The satellites will be manufactured at the Airbus Defence and Space facilities in Toulouse, in a newly installed production line, with delivery starting at the end of this year.

Eutelsat Group is the world's leading satellite operator with a multi-orbit network that combines geostationary (GEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.

The satellites feature optimized architecture designed to maximize long-term operational performance.

With an additional order of 100 satellites purchased in December 2024, the total number of satellites ordered by Eutelsat is 440.

The new satellites will ensure the operational continuity of the OneWeb constellation, which aims to compete with SpaceX's Starlink.
