In the logic of national security, an offset strategy is the decisive move: a technological or organizational advantage that neutralizes an adversary’s numerical or geographic strength. The nuclear deterrent of the 1950s and precision-guided munitions of the 1970s were classic examples. Today, as conventional warfare devolves into industrial scale attrition, the conclusion is unavoidable: space…

The satellite communications market has evolved rapidly over the past four years. As SpaceX’s Starlink has racked up not just hundreds, but even thousands of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites (recently surpassing 10,000 satellites), several mergers have taken place, including Eutelsat/OneWeb and Viasat/Inmarsat in 2023, SES and Intelsat in 2024, and Lynk Global/Omnispace in 2025.…

Starfish Space on Tuesday said it has raised about $110 million in a Series B round that will be used to execute orbital servicing missions already on contract, boost production of its Otter service spacecraft and add employees. The investment was led by Point72 Ventures and brings the total raised so far to more than $150 million by…

Russia is building up its military powers, possibly aiming to attack NATO within the next four years. Europe is responding to the threat, rushing to patch its many defense gaps, including those in space. Still, Europe’s progress may be too slow to get things done in time. Weaponry factories in Russia are running full steam, churning…

In space, cybersecurity is hard. Many of the strategies cyber defenders rely on daily to protect terrestrial networks, like centrally managed anomaly detection, regular patching of emergent software vulnerabilities, and replacement of outdated or compromised hardware, are difficult, and sometimes impossible or unaffordable, in orbit. But in cislunar space between the Earth and the Moon,…

SSC Space has a mission to help its customers access space — whether that’s spacecraft operations and engineering, operating the Esrange launch center in Sweden, or its global ground network. With 54 years of operations, SSC Space has deep experience in space missions.  Now, the company is expanding its ground systems business with SSC Space…

The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) will test an All.Space Hydra 4 multi-band, multi-orbit mobility terminal to inform short-term satcom architecture decisions.  The Hydra 4 mobility terminal is designed to deliver simultaneous connection across military Ka-band, commercial Ka-, Ku-, and L-band. It is designed to operate across Ka-band, as well as with the Starlink constellation and…

In the late 1960s, NASA began studying the principle of a reusable “space tug” system, as part of the Space Transportation System (STS), then envisioned as a crewed space vehicle with complex robotic limbs for seizing and interacting with spaceborne hardware. The tug, along with the rest of the STS was never funded, but succeeded…
