Decathlon is heading to space. In 2026, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot will test the EuroSuit IVA prototype on the ISS developed by Decathlon, CNES, Spartan Space, and MEDES. CEO Javier López Segovia calls it a “historic moment” that brings sport-driven innovation into human spaceflight.

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.

SkyFi has integrated ICEYE US synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data into its Earth Intelligence platform, enabling users to task the world’s largest commercial radar constellation for real-time, all-weather Earth observation. The partnership delivers persistent, high-resolution insights for defense, infrastructure, and environmental applications, anytime, anywhere.

WISeSat.Space, a subsidiary of WISeKey, has partnered with South Korea’s INNOSPACE to launch its next-generation post-quantum secure satellites. Using INNOSPACE’s HANBIT series rockets, the collaboration aims to accelerate secure, cost-effective satellite deployments and advance global quantum-resistant IoT connectivity.

ICEYE’s potential $2.5B valuation highlights a shift from periodic imagery to persistent, taskable SAR intelligence. Defense and dual-use sectors now prioritize real-time, predictive awareness, signaling a new era in EO and ISR where actionable intelligence is the true strategic asset.

With nearly 30,000 French military personnel deployed across four continents, from the Sahel to the Baltic, coordinating modern military operations has become impossible without space-based systems. Satellites provide the communications, intelligence, navigation, and early warning that enable France's global military presence. Yet as space becomes contested, France faces a critical choice: invest heavily in orbital capabilities or risk strategic obsolescence in future conflic

Discover how space startups, scaleups, and marketers can rise above the noise in a booming industry. In our webinar “From Earth to Orbit”, experts Omkaar Nikam, Alex Cresniov, Daniela Jovic, and Ed Fyfe share insights on storytelling, branding, marketing clarity, and design to build trust, attract investors, and make space technology truly stand out.

Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) has signed an agreement with LatConnect 60 to provide Integrated Mission Services for LC60’s SWIRSAT Earth Observation constellation. Announced at IAC 2025 in Sydney, the partnership—backed by the Australian Space Agency and WA Government—highlights Western Australia’s growing role in space innovation.

Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) has launched Integrated Mission Services (IMS) at IAC 2025, offering satellite owners an end-to-end solution covering launch, operations, data delivery, and decommissioning. IMS enables cost-efficient scaling, secure operations, and resilient performance through a pay-as-you-grow model, helping operators manage growing constellations with efficiency and confidence.

United Airlines has secured FAA approval for its first Starlink-equipped Boeing 737-800, with the inaugural flight set from Newark/New York on October 15. More than half of United’s regional fleet already features Starlink Wi-Fi, with installations advancing rapidly. Customers report 90% satisfaction, praising the fast, reliable, and free onboard connectivity.

Redwire has been awarded a contract by Axiom Space to provide roll-out solar array (ROSA) technology for the first module of Axiom Station. Scheduled for launch in 2027, the module will initially attach to the ISS before evolving into a free-flying station by 2028. The project marks a major step toward sustaining U.S. human presence in low-Earth orbit beyond the ISS.

Recent forums from IBC to WSBW and SDSS highlight a strategic inflection in space and defense. Commercial satcom growth, dual-use EO, SSA, and hybrid platforms are redefining opportunities, while interoperability, sovereignty, and rapid deployment challenges demand pragmatic, defense-aligned innovation. The next winners will integrate end-user feedback, resilience, and agile civil-defense strategies.

Space Norway and SSTL have partnered to develop a new satellite programme delivering high-resolution, wide-swath radar imaging for maritime surveillance. The first spacecraft, set for 2027, will provide low-latency detection and classification of vessels, enhanced by onboard AIS technology. The collaboration aims to expand advanced monitoring services to global government and commercial customers.

Day One of WSBW 2025 showed the space industry is finally growing up. Direct-to-Device is moving from hype to market reality, EO faces pressure to deliver insights over imagery, and sustainability is shifting from mantra to market. With financing tightening and geopolitics shaping spectrum and data, the industry’s future depends less on launches and more on building resilient, scalable businesses.

Space42 and Viasat have announced Equatys, a joint venture to deliver global Direct-to-Device services and evolve Mobile Satellite Services into a 5G environment. Backed by the world’s largest coordinated spectrum block, Equatys will operate as an industry-first “space tower” company, using shared Non-Terrestrial-Network infrastructure to cut costs, boost spectrum efficiency, and expand universal connectivity.
