The US Air Force just confirmed that earlier this month it successfullydeployed an experimental satellite nearly the size of a football field.The satellite, called the DSX, was the largest passenger on a JuneSpaceX launch that brought two dozen satellites into orbit. It’s alsothe largest human-made, uncrewed object to have ever been sent intoorbit, according to SpaceNews.The Air Force plans to use the DSX satellite to figure out how cosmicradiation might affect future spacecraft, SpaceNews reports, in ayear-long mission that could help engineers build more resilient ships.“This is a region where Very Low Frequency radio waves strongly interactwith electrons that are hazardous to spacecraft,ö DSX principalinvestigator James McCollough said, per SpaceNews.
