In-depth takes on the space sector and NewSpace industry.
After a decade of disruption, the global launch market has consolidated around a handful of serious players. Here's where the competitive landscape actually stands today.
The South Atlantic Anomaly causes satellite memory errors, single-event upsets, and accelerated solar array degradation on every LEO orbit. Here's what it is, why it's expanding, and how operators cope.
Lunar regolith hazards go beyond abrasion. Razor-sharp, electrostatically charged, and potentially toxic to lungs — here's what makes moon dust a primary engineering challenge for every Artemis surface mission.
How does spacecraft thermal control work? From MLI blankets and heat pipes to phase change materials — a clear guide to keeping satellites at 20°C across a 270°C temperature swing.
How does the thermosphere affect LEO satellites? From atmospheric drag to GNSS disruption — and the 2022 Starlink incident that made the stakes impossible to ignore.
Earth's magnetic field protects life from solar wind, enables animal navigation across thousands of kilometres, and its current weakening already affects satellites. Here's why it matters beyond atmospheric shielding.
