Britain is in talks to become one of the first countries to adopt Elon Musk's "Starshield" military satellite network in a landmark deal. The system, first developed for the US, is designed for military and intelligence missions with enhanced security features, while SpaceX's standard Starlink broadband service is aimed at consumer and commercial use. Sources close to the matter said the Ministry…

NASA’s Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT), designed to enable interoperability between satellite relay networks, has completed its planned technology demonstration. Given the primary mission’s success and the flexibility of the technology, NASA has extended operations to pursue new partnership opportunities and additional capability demonstrations. The terminal launched July 23, 2025, aboar…

Signal-in-Space Monitoring Accuracy (SISMA) is regarded as a key indicator for the integrity monitoring of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3). It is used to evaluate the quality of broadcast ephemeris in real time. However, the conventional SISMA estimation method in the BDS-3 ground operation and control system is severely constrained by the deployment of ground monitoring stations, …

Find out how Jeff Bezos got the ball rolling in the competition with SpaceX's Starlink for space-based connectivity — and how Project Kuiper became Amazon Leo. Read More

As thousands of new satellites continue launching into orbit, scientists say a major bottleneck is no longer in space—it is on the ground. Researchers at University of California San Diego have developed a new type of satellite ground station that could dramatically improve how data is received from satellites while making the system cheaper and […] The post New rooftop antenna system could repla…

Following its successful deployment and commissioning initial imagery is expected to be delivered to customers in the coming weeks

Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed an origami inspired foldable antenna for CubeSat satellites that weighs just 64 grams yet in orbit, it deploys to two and a half times its stowed size. The antenna folds away neatly for launch and deploys automatically in space, achieving high gain communications performance from a package small enough to fit in your pocket and could on…

The satellite named PRSC-EO3 was lifted off at 8:15 p.m. (Beijing Time) by a Long March-6 carrier rocket and successfully entered its planned orbit

Addressing scientists from DRDO, ISRO, and the Aeronautical Society of India at the Engineering Staff College of India, Dr. Narayanan also said India is the first country to succeed in placing 104 satellites, more than 100 satellites using a single rocket without any collision.

Amazon's deal for satellite operator Globalstar doesn't just bulk up Amazon Leo — it brings Apple along for the ride, with a long-term agreement to power iPhone and Apple Watch satellite features. Read More

The Satellite Autonomous Launch Assembly (SATLASS) is an undergraduate research project and one of the four pillars of the Embry-Riddle Orbital Research Association (ERORA). Composed of approximately ten undergraduate engineering students from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL. The team is dedicated to designing, developing, and creating one of the first CubeSat deployers …

SpaceX’s acquisition of xAI is setting the stage for a revolutionary fusion of AI, satellite technology, and space exploration, with plans to build a future that extends to the stars.

As orbital traffic surges, SpaceX introduces Stargaze, a system designed to spot satellite collision risks in minutes rather than hours.

Proposed 5,408-satellite constellation promises data speeds of up to 6 terabits per second — and raises questions about competition with Starlink and Amazon Leo. Read More

Can Amazon’s latest satellite hardware finally deliver gigabit speeds to remote enterprises without the latency woes of traditional broadband? On November 25, 2025, Amazon announced the ‘Leo Ultra’ terminal under its Project Kuiper initiative, targeting business and government users with high-performance, low-latency connectivity starting in 2026. The device supports 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps …

A private mission set to launch in 2026 will rescue NASA's Swift Observatory, using cutting-edge technology and an air-launched rocket to boost the telescope’s orbit and extend its life.

A massive satellite launch is set to upend the global telecom game—no towers, no dishes, just direct connection from space. Backed by billions and powerful allies, this tech could transform how billions stay online… or spark a new kind of power struggle above our heads.

On Earth—and far above it—the company is rolling out infrastructure designed to bring its upgraded network to the most inhospitable and inaccessible corners of the globe.
