There’s no escaping the three-body problem—not in physics, but in project management. The classic constraints always apply: good, fast, cheap. Except in space, where there’s a fourth variable: flexibility. Today, smallsat manufacturing is experiencing an industrial revolution. Manufacturers across the globe are investing billions in state-of-the-art facilities and advanced production techniques to accelerate speed to…

As AI is driving explosive growth in data center construction on Earth, there’s accelerating interest in moving some of the computing infrastructure to orbit. The past few months have seen a flurry of announcements for future orbital data centers. Is this the latest hype cycle for the space industry, or a greenfield opportunity? The answer…

Amazon has filed with the FCC to launch an Amazon Leo Direct-to-Device constellation of up to 5,105 satellites, in spectrum to be acquired in the Globalstar deal.  The system in L-band and S-band spectrum is intended to operate alongside Amazon Leo’s first and second-generation broadband systems, as well as Globalstar’s constellations — both Globalstar’s current LEO…

Over the last half century, space-based assets have helped to provide terrestrial users with ubiquitous services like broadband communications and position, navigation and timing (PNT). But although we think of these services as space-based, they don’t actually work in space — especially not in the area between Earth orbit and the Moon known as cislunar…
