NASA Program Gives Three UM Students Opportunity to Design Satellite
SUMMARY: Four Mississippi college students, including three from the University of Mississippi and one from Jackson State University, are designing a CubeSat network through NASA’s 2024 Mission Concept program. Led by Professor Mustafa Matalgah, the cohort aims to create a small, low-orbit satellite capable of faster communication using the Ka-band spectrum and machine learning techniques. They spent time at the Kennedy Space Center and will work in Albuquerque to complete their designs. The CubeSat Launch Initiative supports these projects to offer low-cost space access and reduced orbital debris. Successful designs will progress to production and eventual launch.

Supreme Court denies appeal for man convicted in the 1992 killing of two college students
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court has denied Willie Jerome Manning’s appeal against his 1994 death row conviction for the murders of two college students. Manning’s legal team argues that there is new evidence, including witness recantations and a lack of forensic links to the crime. Despite his attorney’s assertion that the court’s ruling disregards this evidence, the majority opinion stated that Manning has already received ample justice. Dissenting justices argued for a hearing to investigate the recantations. Manning’s lawyers have indicated intentions to pursue further legal options.
