Portugal launched its first sovereign satellite in March 2026.

The Portuguese Air Force now has four SAR satellites in total.

DARPA is seeking both near-term, ready-to-deploy options and early-stage research concepts for rapid reconstitution of space capabilities.

DARPA has issued a Request for Information for the Rapid Reconstitution of Space Capabilities program.

The Rapid Reconstitution of Space Capabilities program addresses restoration of critical communications, missile warning, and positioning services after anti-satellite weapons, signal jamming, or cyber warfare degrade the existing network.

During the 2023 Victus Nox demonstration, the Space Force encapsulated and launched a satellite on a Firefly Aerospace rocket 27 hours after receiving the alert.

The Rapid Reconstitution of Space Capabilities program aims to provide gap-filler technologies that can support the U.S. Space Force during a crisis.

Space Systems Command has formalized the Commercial Augmentation Space Reserve as a contractual framework for tapping commercial communications and imaging constellations during a national security emergency.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has issued a targeted Request for Information for the Rapid Reconstitution of Space Capabilities program.

DARPA’s Strategic Technology Office will accept formal industry responses through July 8, 2026.

The Rapid Reconstitution of Space Capabilities program seeks technical solutions and operational strategies to rapidly reconstitute space capabilities on tactical timelines measured in hours to weeks.

The Pentagon is relying on commercial industrial lines to build a credible deterrent in space.

The U.S. Space Force successfully encapsulated and launched a satellite on a Firefly Aerospace rocket 27 hours after receiving the alert during the 2023 Victus Nox demonstration.

The Rapid Reconstitution of Space Capabilities program aims to provide flexible gap-filler technologies that can support the U.S. Space Force during a crisis.

The program addresses rapid restoration of critical communications, missile warning, and positioning services after anti-satellite weapons, signal jamming, or cyber warfare degrade existing space networks.

The Shenzhou-23 crew inspected and maintained regenerative life support system equipment and cryogenic storage units.

The Shenzhou-23 crew installed an external thermal imaging camera and performed in-orbit maintenance on the biotechnology experiment cabinet.

Li Jiaying is flying in space for the first time after being selected as a fourth-batch taikonaut in 2024.

Shenzhou-23’s Zhu Yangzhu, Li Jiaying, and Zhang Zhiyuan are aboard the Tiangong Space Station.

Zhu Yangzhu was selected for China’s third taikonaut group in 2020.

The Shenzhou-23 crew completed replacement of experimental samples in the fluid cabinet and disassembly and reassembly of two cabinet experimental modules.

The Shenzhou-23 crew performed in-orbit tests on emotion recognition, emotion evaluation technology, and emergency decision-making capability.

The Shenzhou-23 crew replaced modules for the in-orbit experiment on cell migration imaging.

The Shenzhou-23 crew supported gut microbiota and nutritional metabolism experiments using the Space Raman Spectrometer.

Zhang Zhiyuan is flying in space for the first time after being selected as part of China’s third taikonaut group in 2020.

The Shenzhou-23 crew replaced the soft fabric doors in the sleeping area of the Tiangong core module.

Sateliot is a small-satellite operator that provides narrowband IoT connectivity.

SpaceX and Globalstar asked the FCC to reject Sateliot’s petition for reconsideration.

Brendan Carr has targeted a framework that sustains at least three independent major infrastructure facilities in the space-to-phone sector.

Sateliot requested that the FCC reconsider its licensing framework for direct-to-device spectrum bands.

The FCC Space Bureau issued an April ruling that ordered satellite operators to stay within their lanes in mobile satellite services frequency bands.

SpaceX, AST SpaceMobile, and Globalstar have the long-term confidence to launch massive, expensive satellite constellations under the FCC's current policy approach.

The FCC’s current spectrum policy favors facilities-based direct-to-device operators such as SpaceX, AST SpaceMobile, and Globalstar.

SpaceX and Globalstar argued that the FCC’s small-satellite framework was not intended to give newcomers access to exclusive spectrum blocks.

Sateliot asked the FCC to reconsider its rigid licensing framework for direct-to-device spectrum bands.
