TMA Inside, there’s a Leica Summicron 1:1.9-4.1 / 13-120 ASPH camera system that combines three rear cameras: a 50.3-megapixel main camera (23mm, f/1.9), along with a 48-megapixel ultra -wide (13 mm, f/2.2) and the 48 megapixel periscopic camera (120 mm, f/4.1). Both 48-megapixel cameras use a half-inch Sony IMX586 sensor. The circular camera island (continent?) has a special coating to moderate lens flare and improve image coherence. Oh, and there’s also a 23-carat gold ring. Why the exaggeration? The Xiaomi 12S Ultra is now available for pre-order in China, ahead of a retail launch on July 6. The 12S Ultra starts at 5,999 yuan (about $900). Leica has spread its bets over the years in mobile imaging partnerships. It has worked with Sharp, Huawei and Panasonic in the past — Chinese phone makers are quickly reaching out to well-known photography brands. In late 2020, Vivo joined forces with Zeiss, while Oppo and OnePlus launched devices co-developed with Hasselblad. The result, by and large, has meant better smartphone cameras from those companies looking to match the iPhones and Galaxy S’s of this world. — Matt Smith

The CubeSat is critical to the first Artemis mission.
NASA’s grand plan to get humans back to the Moon for the first time in half a century has taken another step forward. The 55-pound CAPSTONE (Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment) CubeSat has been released from Earth orbit and is on its way to the Moon. Rocket Lab launched CAPSTONE on an Electron rocket last week. After six days of burn-up to build up enough speed, the pathfinder satellite launched toward the Moon. It’s a slow journey. It won’t reach the Moon until November. Continue reading.
