Satellogic has launched Aleph Observer, a persistent global intelligence capability designed to replace ad hoc Earth observation tasking with predictable, large-scale monitoring. By enabling daily coverage of hundreds of critical sites, the company is redefining how defense, government, and enterprises procure sustained situational awareness.

MDA Space has launched 49North, a dedicated Canadian defense subsidiary focused on secure, multi-domain C4ISR capabilities. Led by Joe Armstrong, the Ottawa-based company will deliver mission-critical solutions across land, air, sea, and joint operations, strengthening Canada’s sovereign defense posture and industrial base.

Synspective has secured a ¥105.6B subcontract under Japan’s ¥238.1B Ministry of Defense Satellite Constellation Project. As part of a public-private initiative led by Tri-Sat Constellation, the company will deliver small-SAR imagery to strengthen Japan’s sovereign ISR capabilities through 2031.

constellr has raised €37M in one of Europe’s largest space tech Series A rounds to deliver defense-grade thermal intelligence from space. The funding will scale its sovereign ISR capabilities, expand its satellite constellation, and add the missing behavioral layer that reveals what assets are doing, and why, in contested environments.

Joint warfare is not about platforms. It’s about who owns the mission, who controls the air, and who controls the kill chain. In this two-part episode, Sqn Ldr Shailesh Pol breaks down the real-world logic of Air–Land–Sea weapon integration, exposing why sensors, networks, and decision-making speed now matter more than firepower.

The recent PSLV setback is more than a technical failure. It exposes gaps in India’s space policy, liability, and insurance frameworks at a time of growing private participation. As space governance shifts toward rules set by early movers, this moment presents India with a strategic choice: remain adaptive, or confidently shape the norms that will define the future of outer space.

Airbus Defence and Space has secured a major contract from Eutelsat to build 340 new OneWeb LEO satellites, bringing total orders to 440. Manufactured in Toulouse from 2026, the next-generation satellites will ensure service continuity, enhance onboard processing, and strengthen Europe’s space and connectivity sovereignty.

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.
