Anvil Secure and D-Orbit outline steps to advance satellite cybersecurity across mission operations
Cybersecurity specialist Anvil Secure and the space logistics firm D-Orbit have jointly unveiled a comprehensive white paper addressing the application of cybersecurity measures throughout the lifecycle of satellite missions.
The new publication centers on D-Orbit's ION Satellite Carrier, describing operational stages and providing strategic direction for manufacturers of small satellite SpaceX launches 28 more Starlink satellites from California
SpaceX on Saturday launched 28 more Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The Falcon 9 with the payload lifted off from Pad 4 East at 7:20 a.m. PDT.
About 8 minutes later, the booster landed at the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean. It was the 19th flight for the first stage, including nine previous Starli Final assembly of Vinci engines for Ariane 6 transitions to Germany
ArianeGroup Germany will assume responsibility for assembling the Vinci upper stage engine of the Ariane 6 launcher at DLR's Lampoldshausen location. Under an agreement signed on October 24, 2025, by representatives from ArianeGroup Germany, ArianeGroup France, and DLR, the site will handle the integration of key components such as turbopumps, valves, and thrust chambers.
Final testing on Hydrothermal vents may have triggered early molecular chemistry on ancient Earth
A study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society recreated in the laboratory chemical reactions that may have occurred on Earth about 4 billion years ago, producing the first molecular precursors for the emergence of life. The experiment showed that, without the presence of enzymes, natural gradients of pH, redox potential, and temperature present in underwater hydrothermal vent China sends advanced communications satellite into orbit
China successfully launched its new Communication Technology Test Satellite-20 (TJSW-20) on Thursday night, marking another major milestone in the nation's rapidly expanding space-based communications infrastructure. The Long March-5 Y9 rocket lifted off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan province at 10:30 pm Beijing Time, with official sources confirming the payload reached its desig Flight Readiness Achieved for CarbSAR Mission With SSTL and Oxford Space Systems
Surrey Satellite Technology Limited and Oxford Space Systems have completed the Flight Readiness Review for the upcoming CarbSAR in-Orbit Demonstration mission. This initiative pairs SSTL's Carbonite platform and Oxford Space Systems' advanced Wrapped Rib Antenna to enable synthetic aperture radar Earth observation from a compact low Earth orbit satellite.
Both organizations jointly design Orion spacecraft prepared for lunar mission as stacking with SLS rocket achieved
NASA's Exploration Ground Systems team has completed the stacking and integration of the Lockheed Martin-developed Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket in High Bay 3 at Kennedy Space Center. The operation took place on October 19, marking a significant milestone as the agencies prepare for the crewed Artemis II mission to the Moon.

Second Space Resources Challenge: from concept to reality at LUNA
Last year, ESA invited innovators across Europe to join the second Space Resources Challenge, a competition designed to accelerate technologies that will help humankind live and work sustainably on the Moon.
Last week, that challenge culminated in a field test lasting several days at the ESA-DLR LUNA facility in Cologne, Germany, where eight teams demonstrated robotic systems capable of collecting and processing lunar soil, known as regolith. The participating teams came from six countries—Canada, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Poland and the United Kingdom—highlighting the global collaboration driving forward lunar exploration.
