Russia’s Extremist Label for Nobel-Winning Memorial Would Criminalize Human Rights Work Itself
A Nobel Peace Prize laureate is about to be classified alongside terrorist organizations. That is the reality facing Memorial, the storied Russian human rights group, as the country’s Supreme Court prepares to rule on a Ministry of Justice petition to designate it an “extremist organisation” — a legal classification that would criminalize any contact with […]

Improved thresholds and SSA accuracy can reduce most satellite collision risk
Improving the accuracy of space situational awareness data and using tighter thresholds for potential conjunctions can help retire most satellite collision risk in LEO, a new study concludes.
Space Sovereignty Is No Longer Optional
A Critical Infrastructure Under Strain Space has quietly become the infrastructure beneath modern life.
LeoLabs’ Delta Platform Signals a Turning Point: Space Situational Awareness Is Now a Military Product
LeoLabs has moved beyond tracking space junk. The California-based radar company has developed Delta, a threat detection platform reportedly built for military operators who need to know when a satellite is behaving like a weapon rather than a wayward piece of hardware. The announcement signals a commercial space company stepping directly into the military intelligence […]

Discipline isn’t strength. It’s trained attention.
We treat discipline as a character trait — something you either have or lack. But neuroscience increasingly shows that what we call discipline is actually trained attention: a cognitive skill that can be built, depleted, and rebuilt through structured practice.

NASA’s Private Space Station Program Is Stuck in Procurement Limbo — And the Clock Is Ticking on ISS
NASA’s Commercial Low Earth Orbit Destinations program isn’t just behind schedule. It’s drifting toward a failure that could end America’s continuous presence in low Earth orbit for the first time in over two decades — and hand that strategic territory to China, whose Tiangong station is already operational and expanding. The CLD program was supposed […]

The Budget Math Behind NASA’s Planetary Science Crisis — and Why Congress May Not Fix It
Every year, Congress rescues NASA’s science programs from the budget axe. And every year, the rescue comes a little later, costs a little more political capital, and leaves a little more scar tissue on the institution it’s supposed to protect. Scientists leave for more stable careers. International partners hedge their commitments. Early-career researchers look at […]

The $8 Billion GPS Ground System That Never Worked — And the Quiet Decision to Route Around It
The U.S. Space Force has reportedly awarded Lockheed Martin a contract to manage ground control operations for the next generation of GPS satellites, a decision that amounts to an institutional admission: the Pentagon’s long-troubled OCX program cannot do the job it was built to do. The award covers launch, early orbit, and disposal operations for […]

The complete story of Voyager’s interstellar mission: how two spacecraft built in the 1970s are still rewriting what we know about the edge of the solar system
In November 2026, Voyager 1 will reach one light-day from Earth, a milestone that highlights both the astonishing endurance of 1970s engineering and the vast distances that still separate humanity from true interstellar travel.

Apex Satellite’s Big Pivot: Why a Small-Sat Company Is Suddenly Building for the Pentagon and Orbital Data Centers
Apex Satellite announced plans to build two new, significantly larger spacecraft platforms aimed at orbital data centers and the Pentagon’s Golden Dome missile defense architecture, a sharp reversal from the company’s position less than a year ago when CEO Ian Cinnamon previously expressed that the company saw limited market demand for larger spacecraft platforms. The […]
