Space Particle Collision Raises Uncertainty Over Spain’s New Military Satellite
Spain’s military communications satellite, SpainSat NG-2, was struck by a space particle while moving toward geostationary orbit. The incident occurred at an unusually high altitude, and the damage remains unknown. Operators have activated contingency plans as engineers assess whether the €2 billion mission can still be completed.

The Next Space Frontier May Be Just 100 km Above Earth, Not the Moon or Mars
As low Earth orbit becomes crowded, very low Earth orbit satellites are emerging as a promising alternative. Operating closer to Earth, they offer faster communication, sharper imaging, and better weather data. Advances in propulsion are helping overcome atmospheric drag, opening the door to wider use of this challenging but valuable orbital region...
