“Expandable structures represent a step change in how surface infrastructure can be delivered and deployed,” Saleem Miyan, cofounder and CEO of Max Space, said in a statement. “Its architecture embodies increased capability, scalability, and versatility that are essential for sustained deep-space human activity, and to unleash the lunar and Martian economies.”
The company’s original vision was to deploy a 1,500 sat VLEO constellation to provide high-bandwidth connectivity for telecom providers. It’s now working to offer connections directly to consumer devices as well.

Muon has 20 satellites manifested to launch in the next 20 months, and expects more contracts to close in the coming year, according to CEO Jonny Dyer.
The contract, awarded under NGA’s Luno B program, will see Vantor provide the intelligence community with data about shifts to things like roads, vegetation, and buildings, as well as broader impacts caused by manmade or natural disasters.
In today’s rapidly proliferating orbital environment, spacecraft are only as capable as their ability to stay connected. Traditional communications architectures—built around scheduled ground passes and line-of-sight links—can’t keep pace with the speed and complexity of modern missions.Viasat’s HaloNet hybrid terminal aims to change that by unifying multiple communications pathways into one adaptive system, designed to keep satellites in constant contact—from launch, through orbit.
LEO is getting crowded, but there’s plenty of real estate available closer to home if you can make it work. California-based Viridian Space is aiming to do just that.
York filed a motion asking to dismiss its protest on Jan. 28—one day before going public on the NYSE.
Recently, it’s become an annual exercise for lawmakers, and a stated priority for committee leaders past and present. However, past bills have stalled and failed to codify the space agency’s missions.
Predicting the future is no simple task, but for space weather forecasting startup Hale SWx, it’s part of the business model.
Yesterday, spacecom company CesiumAstro announced that it closed a $270M round of funding—which will help the company to cement further contracts in the defense sector, and build out its natsec business.
