Rising Satellite Traffic in Low Earth Orbit Sparks Collision Risk Concerns
A new study in Acta Astronautica warns that Low Earth Orbit is becoming dangerously congested. Since 2019, the number of satellites performing more than ten collision-avoidance maneuvers per month has risen sevenfold. With nearly 25,000 tracked objects and more launches planned, scientists fear a chain-reaction risk and call for stronger global coo...

Reflect Orbital Plans to Light Up Parts of Earth Where Sunlight Does Not Reach by April 2026
Reflect Orbital recently filed an application with the US FCC Space Bureau seeking permission to test launch its Earendil-1 non-geostationary orbit satellite. With this, the startup plans to begin redirecting the light emitted by the Sun with the help of glass-like satellites to dimly lit parts of the Earth. After closing its Series A round earlier...

NASA’s GRACE Satellites Reveal Hidden Deep-Earth Process Behind Gravity Disturbance
Scientists have discovered a mysterious gravity signal detected by satellites nearly 20 years ago, which is linked to deep mantle changes beneath the Earth’s surface. The anomaly, lasting two years, coincided with a magnetic “jerk”, suggesting a rapid mass shift near the planet’s core.

Tiny Asteroid 2025 TF Zooms Past Earth Undetected, Closer Than Satellites
A small asteroid named 2025 TF surprised astronomers after flying only 265 miles above Antarctica, lower than many satellites. Detected post-passage by ESA, it underscores the challenge of spotting small, fast-moving space rocks before they come close to Earth.

SpaceX Launches IMAP, CGO, SWFO-L1 to Probe Solar Frontier and Space Weather
A Falcon 9 lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 24, 2025, carrying NASA’s IMAP, CGO, and SWFO-L1 spacecraft. The mission aims to chart the heliosphere’s boundary, monitor Earth’s geocorona, and deliver constant space-weather alerts, protecting satellites and astronauts while expanding knowledge of the solar system’s outer edge.
