LandSpace's new post implies that ZQ-3's static fire test will occur in the next few days.

ICEYE’s global government solutions vice president Andy Read said that its always-on SAR monitoring gives NVE a constant view of flood impacts across Norway in all conditions.

ICEYE’s Flood Rapid Impact service provides automatic updates on flooded area extent as often as once every 6 hours during active events.

ICEYE’s contract with NVE strengthens its position in government services for natural-disaster management, infrastructure resilience, and environmental monitoring.

NVE will use the service to monitor, document, and analyze floods along Norwegian river systems.

ICEYE’s Flood Insights service provides water-depth estimates and impact assessments with updates every 24 hours during an emergency.

NVE will use the new service to improve hydraulic model calibration and flood-risk maps.

ICEYE was selected by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) to provide a national flood monitoring service for Norway, including the Svalbard islands.

The initial term of the ICEYE flood monitoring service is 1 year with the option to extend for 2 additional years.

The ICEYE flood monitoring project started in February 2026.

ICEYE’s satellite revisit capability over Norway can reach up to 12 acquisitions per day.

NVE will share flood-monitoring data with other public authorities and Norwegian municipalities.

The NVE contract was awarded through a public tender.

Altus-1 is expected to launch as a rideshare payload.

Intuitive Machines’ Maryland team is delivering hardware for Altus-1, the company’s first data relay satellite.

Intuitive Machines’ new facility will be located at BWI Tech Park in Linthicum, Maryland.

Intuitive Machines plans to nearly double its Maryland headcount with the move to close to 100 employees.

Intuitive Machines participates in the Maryland Department of Labor’s Lighthouse AI Internship Program.

A $1 million Maryland state grant will fund Intuitive Machines’ relocation of its lunar robotics and mechanisms operation to a new 69,000-square-foot facility in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

In 2025, Intuitive Machines received a $202,150 grant through the Maryland Manufacturing 4.0 program.

Intuitive Machines is developing the IM-3 Rover Deployment Mechanism, a 360-degree pan-tilt camera for lunar situational awareness, and the Main Engine Gimbal in Maryland.

Altus-1 is intended to support an integrated space-to-ground network for Artemis and sustained cislunar operations.

Intuitive Machines previously completed a 21,000-square-foot build-out at Cromwell Business Park in Maryland.

Intuitive Machines’ Maryland operation has produced hardware flown on the IM-1 and IM-2 missions.

The new Intuitive Machines facility in Linthicum will add laboratories, office space, and in-house assembly, integration, and test capabilities.

Intuitive Machines’ Maryland operation builds robotics and mechanisms for the company’s Nova-C lunar landers.

Researchers at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley will design, build, and integrate the Aeolus payload.

The Doppler Wind and Temperature Sounder will measure wind and temperature profiles from the surface to approximately 37 miles altitude.

NASA will use Aeolus data to inform entry, descent, and landing systems for future crewed Mars missions.

NASA will send the Aeolus atmospheric instrument suite to Mars aboard a Relativity Space spacecraft.

NASA and Relativity Space formed a public-private partnership for the Aeolus Mars mission.

Relativity Space will supply the spacecraft, launch vehicle, and cruise operations for the Aeolus mission to Mars.

GATS collaborated on development of the Doppler Wind and Temperature Sounder.

NASA will support Aeolus science instrument operations for at least one Martian year, or roughly 687 Earth days.

NASA and Relativity Space will send the NASA-built Aeolus atmospheric instrument suite to Mars under a public-private partnership announced on June 17, 2026.

NASA’s Aeolus agreement is its first six-year reimbursable Space Act Agreement.

The Aeolus suite is designed to provide the first integrated, daily, global view of the Martian atmosphere.

GATS developed the Doppler Wind and Temperature Sounder (DWTS-Ozone) in collaboration with NASA.

The Aeolus suite includes the Doppler Wind and Temperature Sounder (DWTS-Ozone), the Thermal Limb Sounder (TLS), the Surface Radiometric Sensor Package (SuRSeP), and the Wide-Field Context Camera (WFCC).

Relativity Space will supply the spacecraft, launch vehicle, and cruise operations for the Aeolus mission.

The Surface Radiometric Sensor Package will measure surface energy balance, dust, and cloud properties.

Researchers at NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley will design, build, and integrate the Aeolus payload.

Xiomas Technologies developed the Thermal Limb Sounder (TLS) with NASA.

Relativity Space will manage spacecraft development and mission operations for Aeolus.

The Aeolus mission is scheduled to launch in 2028.

NASA will provide the Aeolus payload, which contains four instruments designed to measure Martian winds, temperatures, dust, and clouds.

Xiomas Technologies collaborated on development of the Thermal Limb Sounder.

The Aeolus arrangement is NASA's first six-year reimbursable Space Act Agreement.

NASA will develop the data-processing pipeline for Aeolus data products.

The Protected Tactical SATCOM program is intended to provide U.S. tactical forces with secure communications services through Ka-band links.
