Satellite monitoring has become the main tool for the global fight against climate change, because it allows you to independently record carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) and methane (CH4). The most effective model for detecting sources of pollution today is the synergy of state macromonitoring and private microscanning, where the main instruments are the Japanese state satellite Ibuki GW (GOSAT-GW) and the commercial GHGSat microsatellite constellation. These two systems work […]

SpaceX Starlink satellites now forced to perform evasive maneuvers almost weekly due to critical overload of low Earth orbit (LEO). According to the latest semi-annual report, which the company filed with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the intensity of "space maneuvering" has increased to an unprecedented scale, raising serious concerns among aerospace security experts. Maneuver statistics: Over 355 000 evasions per year: […]

Research led by astronomers from the University of Warwick (University of Warwick) showed, that in this critically important area there is a large amount of small debris, which were previously completely invisible to tracking systems. Critical height: The geostationary orbit is located at an altitude of approx 36 000 km above the equator. This is the highest traffic area for strategic communications equipment, TV, meteorology and military […]

In the Building of the vertical assembly (VAB) At the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA engineers began direct assembly of the SLS launch vehicle (Space Launch System) for the Artemis III mission. The main step was fixing the lower aft sections of the left and right solid fuel boosters on the mobile launch platform. They serve as the "foundation", which will hold the entire rocket structure during subsequent vertical assembly. In parallel […]

This anniversary figure was achieved thanks to a successful launch immediately 10 satellites of the company on board the Falcon rocket 9 within the SpaceX Transporter-17 mission. This was a record number of devices for the company, delivered into space during one flight. All of them 10 new satellites are built on a proprietary sharing platform (Shared Satellite Service). Space vehicles carry the latest on board […]

US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted official permission to Californian startup Reflect Orbital to launch their first experimental mirror satellite Eärendil-1. Project, which is positioned as a revolution in the field of renewable energy, caused severe criticism and panic among the scientific community. Company, founded by a former SpaceX engineer, seeks to sell "sunlight on demand". Technology: A satellite the size of a small refrigerator will unfold […]

The main goal of the country is to strengthen international competitiveness in the market, which is now dominated by the American company SpaceX, as well as strengthening its own national security and ensuring independent access to orbit. Key steps and achievements of Japan Successful test of RV-X: The Japanese space agency JAXA together with the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Corporation successfully conducted the first test flight of the RV-X reusable rocket prototype, which […]

US Space Agency (SDA) signed contracts with L3Harris Technologies and Sierra Space for construction 36 satellites to expand the global missile tracking network. The total value of the signed agreements is approx $1,75 billion. These devices will be part of the large-scale defense initiative "Golden Dome" (Golden Dome for America), aimed at protecting the US territory from modern missile threats. Program […]

A new ESA Center for Civilian Security and Resilience will be opened in Warsaw (Civil Security and Resilience Centre), which will become the first official technological center of the European Space Agency in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. About this 13 July 2026 2018 was officially announced by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher. This step cements Poland's status as one of the new ones […]

This was reported by the director of the Space Agency of Great Britain (UK Space Agency) Anuwen Evernden. A new document is developed after that, as in April 2026 The Space Agency of Great Britain was officially integrated into the structure of the Ministry of Science, innovations and technologies (DSIT). The main reasons and details of the strategy update: The only voice of the government: the merger of the agency with the DSIT ministry allowed policy development to be consolidated […]

14 July 2026 year Fr. 09:10 (UTC) from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, with the help of the "Falcon" launch vehicle 9 Block 5 ”was launched 29 US spacecraft "Starlink Group 10-45". Satellites "Starlink v2" – these are larger and more powerful communication satellites of SpaceX. They weigh approx 750 kg and have a design with two solar panels to increase the number […]

Military researchers from the National University of Defense Technology of China for the first time declassified the characteristics of a super-powerful microwave pulse weapon (HPM), capable of massively "blinding" and burning the electronics of Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit. The information published in the scientific journal High Power Laser and Particle Beams shows, that the development has already moved from the stage of laboratory prototypes to practical deployment in the PRC troops. The newest […]

A historic shift has taken place in the European space industry: Earth observation satellites (EO) for the first time overtook the telecommunications sector in terms of sales in the first half 2026 year. Telecom, which for decades remained the main commercial engine and source of income for space manufacturers in Europe, gave way to remote sensing technologies. The change of leaders is caused by several parallel processes on the global and domestic level […]
