The US Space Force will use a 'digital twin' to simulate satellite incidents
The US Space Force needs to prepare for calamities, but how can it do that when it can't practice using real satellites in orbit? It's going to use a digital twin, apparently. Slingshot Aerospace says it's developing a "Digital Space Twin" that will combine physics-based modelling with real-time object mapping to help the Space Force simulate various situations and plan responses well in advance.
The twin will help mission teams decide how to react to a potential collision, for instance. The Space Force could also use the simulation to design safer and more efficient satellite constellations. And yes, the military branch will also use the digital environment to ready itself for "nefarious acts" from countries with a less-than-peaceful approach to space.
Slingshot is building the Digital Space Twin thanks to a 39-month, $25.2 million contract. The funding will also help Slingshot conduct a pilot program that brings a Laboratory simulation platform (shown above) to Space Force educational and training outfits, including Basic Military Training, the National Security Space Institute and two training squadrons.
Any practical proof of effectiveness is likely years away. With that said, digital twins like this might be crucial for the Space Force and other beyond-Earth agencies. They could not only trim costs and speed up development, but help avoid disasters that ruin costly spacecraft or spark international incidents.

Fed's Harker expects 25-basis-point rate hikes, but open to 50 basis points
"I have penciled in seven ... 25-basis-point increases for this year," including the one just approved at the U.S. central bank's March 15-16 policy meeting, Harker said in comments to the Center for Financial Stability in New York. If there is no improvement in inflation data, "I am open to sending a strong signal with a 50-basis-point increase at the next meeting," Harker said, adding that new coronavirus restrictions in China could throw a "wrench" into global supply chains and add inflation pressure beyond what's coming from the war in Ukraine and other factors. Harker's comments put him among the five policymakers who see the Fed's benchmark overnight interest rate rising to a range between 1.75% and 2% this year, which is also the median projection of all Fed policymakers as of the March meeting.

Biden administration moves forward with plans to lift Title 42 border restrictions
The Department of Homeland Security is expected to move forward this week with lifting Title 42 restrictions -- the Trump-era order giving the government authority to expel migrants at the southern border under a public health emergency -- two government officials told ABC News Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he has been "deeply disappointed" in the Biden administration for not ending the Title 42 rapid expulsion protocols and he specifically referenced the risks posed to Ukrainian families. "This is not who we are as a country," Schumer said earlier this month.

U.S. astronaut, two Russian cosmonauts return home from ISS
ALMATY (Reuters) -A U.S. astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts safely landed in Kazakhstan on Wednesday after leaving the International Space Station aboard the same capsule despite heightened antagonism between Moscow and Washington over the conflict in Ukraine. The flight -- carrying NASA's Mark Vande Hei and Russians Anton Shkaplerov and Pyotr Dubrov back to Earth -- had been closely watched to determine whether escalating strife had spilled over into longtime cooperation in space between the two former Cold War adversaries. Russian space agency Roscosmos broadcast footage of the landing from the Kazakh steppe and said a group of technical and medical specialists had been dispatched to help the astronauts out of the capsule.

Mark Vande Hei landed in a Soyuz capsule in Kazakhstan alongside the Russian Space Agency’s Pyotr Dubrov, who also spent the past year in space, and Anton Shkaplerov. Vande Hei, the last one out, grinned and waved as he was carried to a reclining chair out in the open Kazakh steppes.

It takes eons for light emitted from distant stars to reach us. “We’re seeing the star as it was about 12.8 billion years ago, which puts it about 900 million years after the Big Bang,” said astronomer Brian Welch, a doctoral student at Johns Hopkins University and lead author of the study appearing in Wednesday’s journal Nature.
