When Lt. Gen. Michele Bredenkamp takes the stage for the closing keynote at GEOINT Wednesday, it will mark her first as the director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) — a role she assumed with little fanfare during the government shutdown in November. The appearance will also serve as an opportunity for industry to learn […]

Divergent Space platform would automate imagery requests across multiple providers

In a 2022 address to the Intelligence and National Security Alliance, the director of the National Reconnaissance Office, Chris Scolese, sounded a warning.  Record numbers of satellites were being launched, he said, and competitors including China and Russia were developing tools, on the ground and in orbit, that put American space infrastructure at risk.

EarthDaily Analytics and UAE-backed Altair highlight shift toward ‘constellations as a service’

WARSAW, Poland — Polish space company Eycore has launched Eycore-1, an Earth observation satellite equipped with the company’s synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology. The May 3 launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base made Eycore the second privately-owned business in Europe to own its own SAR satellite.    The move will allow […]

Each year, the GEOINT Symposium brings together the people who make geospatial intelligence possible — the analysts, engineers, mission commanders, innovators and policy leaders who collectively ensure that decision-makers have the understanding of our world they need when they need it. This year in Aurora, Colorado, more than 4,000 of them will gather at what […]

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have looked deeply at thousands of young star clusters in four nearby galaxies, studying clusters at different stages of evolution. Their findings show that more massive star clusters emerge more quickly from the clouds they are born in, clearing away gas and filling the galaxy with ultraviolet light. The result gives us a better understanding of star formation in galaxies, as well as how and where planets can form.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has partnered with French video game studio DON’T NOD Entertainment on the development of Aphelion, a narrative science‑fiction game inspired by space exploration and scientic expertise.

Recent strikes on cloud facilities and satellite ground infrastructure are sharpening concerns that some of the space industry’s most critical assets are becoming targets in modern conflict. Despite being the essential link between satellites and users, ground stations have largely operated outside the limelight enjoyed by assets in orbit and the rockets that launch them […]
