REE programmers are writing fault-tolerant code that will drive commercially available machines. Our technology will have a direct impact on the capacity of the satellites that American companies plan to launch. Project scientists and engineers are limited only by how high their imaginations soar. And the heavens are their observatory. Astronomers estimate that there are 100 billion galaxies to explore in our universe.
Ground telescopes collect a glimmer of light from the dawn of creation.
They can detect objects a mere 10 billion light-years away. The Hubble Space Telescope gathers images that are at least 10 times sharper and detects light 30 to 50 times fainter than Earth-bound telescopes. A cosmic time machine, the Next Generation Space Telescope will probe the origin of the universe by gathering infrared light from the earliest galaxies. Scientists will use the telescope to examine dust clouds as they form stars and planets. One million miles from Earth, the Next Generation Space Telescope will gather infrared light from stars and planets formed immediately after the Big Bang .
