For the first time ever, we demonstrated fully autonomous X-ray navigation in space! This experiment showed that pulsars – dense rotating stars that emanate radiation from their powerful magnetic fields much like a lighthouse – can be used to accurately determine the location of an object moving at thousands of miles per hour in space. Similar to how we use GPS on Earth, this method could revolutionize our ability to pilot robotic spacecraft to the far reaches of the solar system and beyond! Get
