Tibet’s fate reflects a broader shift in China since 1949, as Beijing has centralized power and dismantled the freedoms once promised by the Republic. From Tibet and Xinjiang to Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Communist Party’s tightening grip reveals how enforced unity has replaced democracy, fueling division rather than harmony.

Space Machines Company has secured a $2.9M Australian Defence contract to develop STARS, an AI-powered autonomous space threat detection system. Designed to predict close flybys, RPO activity, and interference in LEO, STARS will enhance protection of Australian and allied space assets and integrate into next-generation space command-and-control systems.

At the intersection of cinema, intelligence, and geopolitics, DHURANDHAR signals a shift in how India tells its security stories. This article, inspired by an Access Hub podcast conversation with the film’s military consultant, explores realism, cultural diplomacy, and why such narratives matter globally.

Solar energy doesn’t have to be complicated. This beginner-friendly guide explains how solar panels work, how to choose the right system for your home, and what first-time homeowners should consider before installing solar. Learn how sunlight turns into savings and why solar is a smart long-term investment.

OHB Sweden has secured a major contract to deliver six electric propulsion systems for SWISSto12’s HummingSat, the first commercial SmallSat for GEO. The partnership strengthens European space sovereignty and promises to reshape the GEO market with agile, cost-effective satellite solutions.

Gogo has made a strategic investment in Farcast to accelerate next-generation aviation antennas that reduce SWaP-C while boosting bandwidth. Farcast’s full-duplex flat panel antenna and AESA technology will support Gogo’s multi-band, multi-orbit connectivity strategy for business, military, and government aviation.

Europe has committed nearly €1 billion to advance next-generation satellite navigation at ESA’s Ministerial Council. The funding boosts NAVISP and FutureNAV while launching new missions like Celeste, Genesis, OpSTAR, NovaMoon, and Future PNT Demonstrators, strengthening Europe’s PNT resilience, competitiveness, and strategic autonomy.

Xinjiang has become a testing ground for China’s most advanced systems of surveillance and political control. From mass data collection to intrusive home inspections and large-scale detentions, the region illustrates how state power, technology, and ideology can be fused to govern an entire population with unprecedented precision.

Proximus Global and Starlink have formed a strategic partnership to expand direct-to-cell satellite connectivity across Europe. Leveraging Proximus Global’s IPX network, Starlink will link European mobile operators and support next-generation satellite-to-smartphone broadband. Kyivstar is the first operator to benefit, highlighting the critical role of satellite resilience in crisis environments.

Russia’s space-industrial base hasn’t collapsed; it has rewired itself. Through new regional clusters, sanctioned electronics routed via shadow intermediaries, and deepening reliance on China, Moscow has built a sanctions-adapted system that is resilient but fragile. Here’s a forensic look at who is building what now, and where new chokepoints are emerging.

The conflict in Sudan, involving the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has become one of the worst humanitarian and political crises globally. This military power struggle has caused state collapse, mass displacement, and widespread famine, affecting millions. Beyond Sudan, the crisis threatens regional stability, risking refugee flows, cross-border conflicts, and destabilization in the Horn of Africa's political and economic landscape.

5G NTN modems are rapidly moving from backhaul tools to frontline enablers of multi-domain operations. From convoy V2X to airborne ISR downlinks, these systems are reshaping how modern militaries fight, communicate, and maneuver in contested environments.

The Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA) has released a new Reference Architecture offering strategic recommendations to accelerate global Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) integration. The framework outlines key technologies, interoperability guidelines, and high-impact use cases designed to support secure, reliable, and 3GPP-aligned satellite-to-terrestrial connectivity worldwide.

IonQ is expanding its quantum leadership with the acquisition of Skyloom Global, bringing advanced space-based optical communications into its growing full-stack quantum ecosystem. Backed by $3.5B in funding, IonQ aims to build a global quantum key distribution platform linking ground and satellite networks for secure, planet-scale connectivity.

Amazon’s shift from Project Kuiper to Amazon Leo marks a strategic leap in the LEO broadband race. With more than 150 satellites in orbit and major enterprise partnerships forming, the rebrand reflects a sharpened focus on value creation, downstream market capture, and global growth.

SES and AMN have upgraded more than 200 rural sites in Côte d’Ivoire, expanding 2G and 3G services to over 500,000 people and powering nationwide growth in mobile money, education, and healthcare access. With new 4G sites launching in 2025, the initiative marks a major leap forward for Africa’s digital inclusion.

mPower Technology has launched the world’s first automated high-volume production line for space-solar modules at UIC in New York, marking a major leap from manual fabrication to industrial-scale space power. Starting at 1 MW per year and doubling by 2026, the facility supports major programs—including Airbus’ Sparkwing arrays, and positions mPower as a key player in powering next-generation orbital and lunar infrastructure.

France has inaugurated its new Space Command and unveiled a €4.2 billion National Space Strategy to strengthen military readiness and industrial innovation in orbit. President Macron’s bold vision signals Europe’s intent to achieve strategic autonomy and defend its interests in an increasingly contested space domain.
