Lawmakers Push Space Force to Invest in New, Commercial Surveillance Space Force leaders have touted their “surveillance-as-a-service" TacSRT program as a success story, leveraging commercial firms to deliver information to users on timelines far faster than typical space intelligence assets. Now, lawmakers want the service to put more heft behind the effort—starting with actually funding the program in fiscal 2026.

Figure 1: NOAA’s classification of geomagnetic storms (G1–G5) based on severity and impact on satellites. Importance: Helps predict space weather risks, guiding satellite operators in planning and mitigation strategies

Figure 2: Shows increased atmospheric density and geomagnetic activity during the February 2022 Starlink loss event. Importance: Demonstrates how even minor storms can significantly impact satellites in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO).

Figure 6: Compares altitude decay and positional errors of satellites during G1 vs. G5 geomagnetic storms. Importance: Highlights the drastic effects of extreme storms on satellite stability, emphasizing the need for accurate density forecasting.

Understanding space weather’s impact on satellites 🌍🛰️! A study highlights how geomagnetic storms increase drag on Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellites, affecting their stability and fuel needs. Better forecasting is key! ⚡🚀

Sky skimmers: The race to fly satellites in the lowest orbits yet There's a new race in space, but it's not where you might think. It's happening close to home – in the nearest bit of space, right on the edge of Earth's atmosphere.

Okay yall. This is just a concept sketch but! I’m wanting to make either bookmarks or stickers.
Which one do yall like better? Red and Teal or Blue and Teal? 👀

International Space Station observes something unknown 55 miles above Earth Atmospheric waves discovered from the International Space Station 55 miles above Earth, revealing new connections to Earth's climate.

As NASA has announced, the International Space Station detected something unexpected above Earth’s surface — some kind of waves pushing through the atmosphere about 55 miles above the planet.
