The idea of connecting a phone directly to a satellite has moved from science fiction to reality. Starlink's direct-to-device (D2D) service promises to reach rural communities without cell towers or reliable fixed broadband. For Canada - especially remote provinces, territories, and Northern communities where broadband gaps persist - this could reshape how people stream media, pay online, and access remote education.

What a difference a year makes! Today Hera’s asteroid mission for planetary defence is cruising through deep space on the far side of the Sun, headed to its final destination: the Didymos binary asteroid system. But a year ago, on 7 October 2024, it was unsure if the mission was ever going to take off at all.

Its launcher was grounded due to a launch anomaly and Hurricane Milton was closing on Cape Canaveral! The mission needed to lift off then and there because it had to perform a flyby of Mars to speed it on its

Five of the missions were awarded to SpaceX for $714 million. United Launch Alliance got the other two, worth $428 million. Blue Origin didn't qualify because its New Glenn rocket still needs certification for na
