Early-stage investor Space Capital said global investments in core space infrastructure climbed to a five-quarter high of $4.4 billion over the three months to the end of September, amid a breakout year for U.S.

Satellites reveal the power of ocean swell

During recent storms, satellites recorded ocean waves averaging nearly 20 metres high – as tall as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the largest ever measured from space. Moreover, satellite data now reveal that ocean swells act as storm ‘messengers’: even though a storm may never make landfall, its swell can travel vast distances and bring destructive energy to distant coastlines.

The Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission is about to get its fourth satellite. Copernicus Sentinel-1D has now undergone the checks and functional tests prior to its integration with Ariane 6, ready for launch later this year.

In September, mission controllers at ESA's mission control centre started a major simulations exercise to ensure that the next Copernicus Sentinel Earth Observation mission, Sentinel-6B, safely navigates its first days in space.

Last month, mission controllers at ESA's mission control centre started a major simulations exercise to ensure that the next Copernicus Sentinel Earth Observation mission, Sentinel-6B, safely navigates its first days in space. As the launch is approaching, so is the end of this critical pre-launch phase.

NASA and the European Space Agency are tracking the 3I/ATLAS interstellar object as it travels past Mars on its way toward the Sun and through the solar system. The object is thought to be a comet and is only the third interstellar object to be identified within the solar system, according to NASA. NASA's Mars Perseverance rover might have captured an image of 3I/ATLAS, which sci

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.

Spain’s Sateliot says it has achieved the first narrowband connection from a LEO satellite to a commercial IoT device built to global 5G standards known as 3GPP Release 17.

ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter observes comet 3I/ATLAS – GIF

Between 1 and 7 October, ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) and Mars Express spacecraft turned their eyes towards interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, as it passed close to Mars. 

Hera’s first year in space

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
