Getting to the Moon is about to get a whole lot easier—at least, if @GoToImpulse can execute on its new mission to go beyond operations in LEO and GEO. https://t.co/5fZhN3vsEH

.@USSF_SSC awarded seven National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 3 Lane 2 contracts last week. @SpaceX won five missions worth a total of $714M, while @ulalaunch won the remaining two, worth $428M. https://t.co/PvZaVkp8Gw

.@StationDC_HQ opened its doors last month just before the US government shutdown. Its mission is simple: Connect policymakers and builders in the same room to shape the future of American technology competitiveness, especially in the space industry. https://t.co/MtDJ4BcDCp

The @openlunar established a shared database for Moon-mission operators to share information—in a bid to boost transparency as traffic picks up on Earth’s natural satellite. https://t.co/NBBlsc4E7W

.@Thales_Alenia_S cut the ribbon on a €100M satellite manufacturing facility in Rome this week, funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) with “substantial” investment from France’s Thales and Italy’s Leonardo. https://t.co/AlCEXDsVDt

Instances of satellite interference are on the rise. Last week, Maj. Gen. Paul Tedman, head of the UK Space Command, revealed that Russian attempts to jam UK satellites are a weekly occurrence. https://t.co/hSLssxLptK

.@stoke_space has raised a whopping $510M Series D to fund development of its Nova rocket. The round, which brings Stoke’s total fundraising to $990M, will enable the launcher to boost production of Nova. https://t.co/jffX8o4sFA

UK space biopharma startup @frontierspace21 flew its first lab-in-a-box payload to space aboard @AtmosSpaceCargo's Phoenix 1 reentry capsule back in April. https://t.co/VENnrsKGmD

If you think space is crowded now, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. A new report by @Novaspace_ predicted that 43,000+ new satellites will launch in the coming decade, creating $655B in market value through manufacturing and launch services. https://t.co/meF1TiPdwf

Acting @NASA Administrator Sean Duffy wants to make Artemis a household name. Duffy talked about the need to do a better job in giving purpose to NASA and its missions. A key part of that, he said, is giving Artemis the Apollo treatment. https://t.co/6oEzds8cTe

.@ispace_inc announced that it would be issuing as many as 49M new shares of common stock in an effort to raise ¥18.3B ($121.9M) to fund the development and launch of its next two missions to the Moon, and cover widening losses throughout its business. https://t.co/gmnuWMKBRI

China’s message to the US space agency urged the American spacecraft to stay put while Beijing maneuvered its own assets. https://t.co/KbwfqvQhH1

.@esa signed a €50M contract with @Thales_Alenia_S to begin the initial design of the security and cryptographic mission—shortened, rather creatively, to SAGA—which aims to bring the satellite comms of sensitive government data into the quantum age. https://t.co/C0U8Lvx2EB

The quickest delivery service isn’t coming via drone from an Amazon fulfilment center—it’s coming from space. @InversionSpace unveiled its flagship vehicle—called Arc—yesterday in preparation for the spacecraft’s first orbital flight next year. https://t.co/OtWUmlCApr

.@spacegovuk announced it will invest a total of £6.5M ($8.8M) to support 23 partnerships between UK and international space organizations as part of the second round of awards from the space agency’s International Bilateral Fund (IBF). https://t.co/Zt77yltmL1

.@KinetXSNAFD has joined the @Int_Machines family after years of working alongside it. Intuitive Machines announced that its $30M acquisition of KinetX, a space infrastructure company with experience in constellation management, is complete. https://t.co/A7GCTZm5H2

.@NASA has allegedly been implementing President Donald Trump’s proposed cuts to the agency since June, according to a report released Monday by Democrats on the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. https://t.co/2K3fDPQ2sR
