Looks to me like Northwood is pivoting away from its focus on phased array antennas and is now more focused on building a larger, Starlink-esque independent global gateway network with parabolic antennas. Makes sense given the # of ex-Starlink employees there. www.northwoodspace.io/blog/prismhi...

Half disc of Saturn seen in colours ranging from pale rose to butterscotch and sapphire blue give this inhospitable gas planet a romantic appeal. Shadows of the rings cross the northern latitudes whose blue colour is presumed to be a seasonal effect. The tiny dot of moon Enceladus hugs the ringplane right of centre.
