OJ287 was observed for the first time with the Event Horizon Telescope at a wavelength of 1.3 mm, achieving an exceptional angular resolution of 18 microarcseconds.

The model proposed includes Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities creating filamentary structures that interact with propagating shocks, compressing the magnetic field and amplifying emission in specific regions of the jet.

The Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building is dedicated to the assembly and verification of crewed spacecraft.

Airbus is the prime industrial contractor for ESM-4 on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA).

ESA is supplying the module to NASA as part of Europe's contribution to the Artemis program.

The arrival of ESM-4 in Florida helps maintain the integration schedule for the Orion vehicle and reduces risks associated with final preparation phases.

The testing phase for ESM-4 is essential to validate the overall performance of the vehicle.

The European contribution, coordinated by Airbus and ESA, underscores the central role of international cooperation in developing future crewed lunar missions.

The arrival of ESM-4 is a key step in preparing the vehicle for missions to the lunar Gateway station.

ESM-4 will undergo final testing and integration with the Orion capsule.

The Artemis IV mission is expected to be one of the first crewed flights for assembling the Gateway station in lunar orbit.

The arrival of the European Service Module at Kennedy Space Center marks a significant operational milestone for Artemis and Artemis IV.

The European Service Module 4 (ESM-4) has arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The European Service Module enables the Orion capsule to support long-duration missions beyond low Earth orbit.

ESM-4 was transferred to the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at Kennedy Space Center.

Airbus is coordinating a European industrial supply chain that involves numerous specialized suppliers for the construction of ESM-4.

The Artemis program relies on international cooperation, with Europe providing critical structural contributions.

After initial tests, ESM-4 will be assembled with the crew module to form the complete Orion spacecraft.

The new name, Vega Assembly Building, reflects the building's operational purpose for future integration and preparation campaigns of Vega rockets.

The Vega Assembly Building will support activities related to European lightweight launchers.

ESA_Italia confirmed the change of management and name for the Vega Assembly Building on its X account.

The transfer of the Vega Assembly Building marks a significant infrastructural change for the European launcher system.

The transfer of ownership occurred last month and involves a structure historically associated with the Ariane program.

Avio plays a direct role in enhancing a facility already integrated into the European space complex.

Managing assembly infrastructures is key to maintaining autonomy and competitiveness in the launch market.

The operation is part of activities coordinated by the ESA, overseeing the evolution of European access programs to space.

The key transfer to Avio formalizes the Italian company's industrial role in assembly activities.

The transfer of the former Ariane 5 assembly building to Avio and its transformation into the Vega Assembly Building represents a concrete step in the reorganization of European launch infrastructures.

The Vega Assembly Building is now officially under the management of Avio.

The operation consolidates Avio's role in the Vega program and ensures operational continuity for a strategic infrastructure.

The restructuring aims to avoid the decommissioning of strategic assets within the existing infrastructures.

In December, the assembly building used for the Ariane 5 launcher was transferred to Avio and renamed the Vega Assembly Building.

The Vega Assembly Building reinforces the European industrial framework and ensures Avio's full access to a facility aligned with the technical requirements of the Vega program.

The Vega Assembly Building is intended to become a central hub for optimizing operational flows in the European space complex.

Amazon is required to launch 1,616 satellites by July 30, 2026, as mandated by the FCC.

The Cape Canaveral facility serves as the operational bridge between manufacturing in Washington and launch operations.

Amazon invested $139.5 million in a satellite processing facility at Cape Canaveral designed for 100 satellites per month throughput.

Amazon’s satellite manufacturing facility in Kirkland, Washington reached peak production of five satellites per day in late 2025.

Amazon’s 2019 FCC authorization required the company to deploy half its constellation within six years of approval.

Amazon's 2025 capital expenditure budget reached $100-105 billion, primarily aimed at AWS infrastructure and AI capabilities.

Industry analysts estimate that the initial constellation buildout for Amazon Leo requires approximately $17 billion in capital deployment.

As of July 2025, Amazon Leo executed three missions within three months, establishing a quarterly launch cadence.

Amazon must launch and deploy roughly 95 satellites every month to meet the FCC deadline.

Bloomberg reported that by April 2025, Amazon had completed only a few dozen satellites after more than a year into production.

The FCC mandate represents exactly half of Amazon Leo’s initial satellite constellation.

Aegis Aerospace signed a grant agreement with the Texas Space Commission to develop an in-space manufacturing platform for advanced materials in low Earth orbit (LEO).

The partnership between United Semiconductors and Aegis Aerospace is believed to establish the first dedicated commercial facility for in-space materials production.

United Semiconductors LLC and Aegis Aerospace announced a partnership to develop the first in-space advanced materials manufacturing facility for semiconductors.

Aegis Aerospace anticipates creating new job opportunities in Texas from this partnership.

United Semiconductors has expertise in semiconductor manufacturing and has conducted successful experiments aboard the International Space Station.
