Elon Musk is set to visit the Central Intelligence Agency on Monday What could possibly go wrong www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

(1/6) What we know about the future of the CG, a thread: Last month, information put out on Reddit suggested that Sean Plankey, a CG veteran, was tapped by Trump for a new position, the "Secretary of the Coast Guard." Based on the current duties of Secretaries for the other US military branches,

As missions to #LEO become more frequent, space traffic coordination remains a key element to efficiently operating in space. NASA’s Starling spacecraft swarm tested a coordination with SpaceX’s Starlink constellation, a potential solution to enhance space traffic coordination. #spacejunk

End of the #Gaia mission mapping our Milky Way Galaxy.

At a remote space center in northern Finland near the Russian border, researchers are studying how climate change is impacting the Arctic region with more precision than anywhere else in Europe. #finland #climate 🇫🇮

Trump admin to review Golden Dome options next week. The Pentagon may need to create a new organization to build the ambitious missile shield, sources said. #Hegseth likely to text about it on Signal this weekend 😢

Finnish satellite operator ICEYE to provide data to NATO headquarters L'opérateur de satellites finlandais ICEYE fournira des données au siège de l'OTAN www.reuters.com/world/europe...

B-2 bombers at Diego Garcia could be a signal of coming action against Iran or other regional threats. Or it could just be a “friendly reminder” of force projection capabilities. #Hegseth is probably live streaming it on #Signal 🤣 #trump #idiots

“Far from saving money for the United States, as Jacob Bogage at the Washington Post reported on March 22, billionaire Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” has cost the government $500 billion, 10% of what the Internal Revenue Service took in last year.“ #elon #doge

#Astroscale’s idea of providing refueling services for satellites in orbit was adopted into the Key and Advanced Technology R&D through Cross Community Collaboration Program, dubbed the K Program, led by the Cabinet Office. 🇯🇵 #spacejunk

Interstellar Technologies announced that it would receive about ¥7 billion ($46.6 million) in investment from a subsidiary of #Toyota under a capital and business alliance. Interstellar Technologies will promote the mass production of the Zero rocket, which is under development. 🇯🇵

This is moronic. We should stand up a mission for the #USCG to regulate, provide safety and rescues ops, and oversee aides to navigation in low Earth orbit. Like they do on Earth. #noaa

🇺🇸 US | 🇶🇦 QATAR 🔴 US Approves $2B Armed Drone Sale to Qatar 🔸 Deal includes 8 MQ-9B drones, bombs, missiles, and satellite control tech. 🔸 Doha’s earlier attempts under Biden failed despite key regional role.

PhD Thesis from space security researcher James Pavur. This paper presents an exceptional technical analysis of modern satellites. It uncovers cyber-physical vulnerabilities that threaten essential space services. Awesome resource for understanding space cybersecurity. pavursec.com/publication/...

Data from the SWOT satellite, a Franco-American CNES/NASA mission, has produced one of the most detailed maps of the ocean floor.

#Ukraine is beginning to build up its own optical #satellite network with the help of the Czech Republic. Great news! 🇺🇦🇨🇿🛰️

Pixxel’s three Firefly hyperspectral satellites have successfully captured and downlinked their ‘first light’ images, the company announced on March 18.

Trump protects internet #misinformation from being considered a threat. The gifts to #Putin and the international hacking gangs keep on getting better. "infrastructure policies do not include any policies related to purported misinformation, disinformation, or misinformation" #cybersecurity #trump

#Firefly Aerospace achieved all objectives for Blue Ghost Mission 1, following the commercial Moon landing on March 2, 2025. The mission operated for more than 14 days of surface operations and 5 hours into the #lunar night making this the longest commercial lunar mission to date.

A #spacejunk friendly alternative to satellite swarms. Plus other benefits!

The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, is set to introduce a proposal tomorrow to tap trillions of euros parked in Europeans’ savings accounts to invest in Europe Inc., according to a draft proposal. The goal would be to take business away from US exchanges during the #TrumpTurmoil

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

#Trump’s actions to shrink the government through mass layoffs, firings and withholding funds allocated by Congress have thrown federal #cybersecurity and consumer protection programs into disarray.

Soft power doesn't make anyone hard. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/c... #VOA

About 360 million people listened to #VOA broadcasts. It was a thorn in the side first of the Soviet Union and now of Russia and China. Now it is silent, signaling the end of U.S. soft power that spread democratic values. “The world’s autocrats are doing somersaults,” the Washington Post wrote. 🇷🇺🇨🇳
