SpinLaunch secures 30 million to speed Meridian Space constellation development
SpinLaunch has closed 30 million in funding to accelerate development and commercialization of Meridian Space, its low-earth orbit satellite broadband constellation. The round includes new capital from existing investors led by ATW Partners, along with the previously announced strategic investment from Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace.
The company is targeting its first customer link in the Irish CubeSat proves wave based control for precise in orbit pointing
EIRSAT-1, Ireland's first satellite, has validated an onboard Wave-Based Control payload that enables accurate attitude control in orbit. Developed at UCD's School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, the software-led experiment demonstrates advanced manoeuvring techniques on a live spacecraft rather than solely in simulation.
Engineering Manager for EIRSAT-1 and UCD control systems ex NASA's Webb telescope discovers a new Uranus moon
NASA scientists at the Southwest Research Institute discovered a 29th moon orbiting Uranus while using infrared detection through the James Webb Space Telescope.
The discovery was made on Feb. 2, but NASA officials did not announce the discovery until Tuesday in a news release.
"This object was spotted in a series of 10 40-minute long-exposure images captured by the Near-Infrared Moon flybys could save fuel on interplanetary missions

ESA inaugurates new Cyber Security Operations Centre
On 27 May 2025, the European Space Agency (ESA) took an important step in ensuring the continued security of its critical infrastructure with the inauguration of a new Cyber Security Operations Centre (C-SOC) at its European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Germany.
The new C-SOC will monitor and protect ESA’s digital assets – from satellites in space to ground stations and mission control systems on Earth. The initiative comes as space infrastructure becomes increasingly integral to Europe's economy and society, and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated.
