Tsunan Brewery launched a virtual sake brewery called 'Lunar Brewery' in the metaverse on December 31, 2025.

Solafune's project will develop flood risk maps, vulnerability assessments, real-time monitoring, and capacity building in response to flooding in Senegal.

Solafune was selected for a project to enhance flood risk analysis and forecasting in Senegal using satellite data.

The docking systems provided by Redwire adhere to the International Docking System Standard (IDSS) and the contract is worth several tens of millions of dollars.

The 'Lunar Brewery' aims to enhance the storytelling and experiential value of the sake brewery for both domestic and international markets.

Tsunan Brewery has a long-term vision to create a sake brewery on the Moon by 2040 as part of its space and brewing initiatives.

Redwire signed a contract to provide two docking systems for the reusable capsule 'Nyx' being developed by Exploration Company.

MJOLNIR SPACEWORKS is developing hybrid rocket engines and has been selected for the second phase of the Space Strategy Fund for developing technology related to rocket components for high-frequency launches.

The reusable capsule 'Nyx' is designed for transporting cargo to low Earth orbit and beyond and features docking capabilities for space stations.

The concept of the 'Lunar Brewery' is to recreate a brewery of 2040 in the present, allowing access to insights about lunar architecture and microbial production possibilities.

The development aims to construct the system design technology and manufacturing process for ultra-lightweight pressure vessels, a key component of rockets.

The project aims to confirm the effectiveness of new crisis management methods using satellite data for flood management in Senegal.

Globalstar met with Arpan Sura, Senior Counsel to FCC Chairman Carr, on December 29, 2025.

Globalstar's meeting with the FCC was to discuss the company's pending request for U.S. market access for its third-generation mobile satellite system known as the C-3 System.

Melissa Quinn is overseeing spaceport readiness at Spaceport Nova Scotia for Maritime Launch Services.

The time until uncontrolled satellites naturally fall to Earth can exceed four years during periods of low solar activity due to decreased atmospheric density.

The goal of the orbital change is to reduce the likelihood of accidents in space.

Starlink currently operates over 9,000 satellites, with only two having completely lost functionality during operation.

According to Michael Nichols, the time until natural fall can be reduced by more than 80% when comparing the weakest solar activity periods.

Lowering satellites to approximately 480 kilometers will increase atmospheric drag, reducing the fall time to several months under similar conditions.

The planned large satellite groups operate at lower altitudes where the risk of collisions is easier to manage.

SpaceX prioritizes designs that enable satellites to return to the atmosphere quickly in case of failures.

SpaceX is coordinating the orbital change with other satellite operators, regulatory authorities, and the U.S. Space Force.

Lowering the altitude of Starlink satellites will result in a denser organization of orbits.

SpaceX plans to conduct a large-scale orbital change for its Starlink satellites in 2026.

Orbital environments below 500 kilometers have a relatively low number of satellites and debris.

Approximately 4,400 Starlink satellites currently orbiting at an altitude of 550 kilometers will be lowered to around 480 kilometers.

The prototype involves designing a small geostationary satellite and manufacturing and testing a Proto-Flight Model (PFM).

The contract period for the Ministry of Defense with Astroscale is from December 2025 to March 2028.

The Ministry of Defense formulated the 'Space Domain Defense Guidelines' in July 2025 to strengthen defense capabilities in space.

Astroscale plans to develop a generic gripping mechanism system and conduct ground demonstrations.

Astroscale also received a contract from the Ministry of Defense in February 2025 for the prototype of a maneuvering response space system.

Astroscale, a subsidiary of Astroscale Holdings in Japan, received a new contract from the Ministry of Defense for research on satellite monitoring and defense technology for 1 billion yen on January 5.

The gripping technology is intended to securely grasp domestic satellites under various situations that may arise in geostationary orbit, including limited prior information and unintended movements after grasping.

The purpose of the prototype is to demonstrate technologies necessary for improving space surveillance, information gathering, and space operational capabilities for future Space Domain Awareness (SDA).

The project awarded to Astroscale involves research on gripping mechanisms necessary for inspecting and continuing operations of domestic satellites in orbit.

Mission Assurance is one of the key pillars outlined in the Space Domain Defense Guidelines.

The new data acquisition capabilities of CSG-FM3 will enhance the performance, size, flexibility, and information available from the CSG system.

The CSG-FM3 satellite ensures continuity of radar observations between the old and new generation of satellites while introducing advanced monitoring capabilities.

CSG-FM3 is the third satellite of the second generation that will soon be added to the constellation.

Teodoro Valente is the President of the Italian Space Agency.

The launch of CSG-FM3 further emphasizes the strength of a program born from virtuous collaboration between institutions and national industry.

COSMO-SkyMed CSG-FM3 was successfully launched on January 3 at 18:09 PT from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

The COSMO-SkyMed constellation currently includes four fully operational satellites.

The COSMO-SkyMed constellation continues to evolve, contributing to the knowledge and monitoring of the planet in support of security, sustainability, and emergency management.

The capabilities of CSG satellites allow for stability analysis and accurate change detection across various applications.

The COSMO-SkyMed program is the only dual-use civil-military system in the world with such high performance, resulting from collaboration between institutions and industry.
