June 2026 Exploring next steps for On Orbit Datacenters The volume of data generated in space is increasing every day, and the concept of orbital data centers to handle it is receiving considerable attention. May 2026 Talent, data, and infrastructure: Aerospace's CEO on putting its superpowers to work Aerospace's new CEO, Tanya Pemberton, spoke with SpaceNews about the organization's particular set of skills, and why they're so valuable in today's increasingly fast-moving space industry. April 2026 Servers in space? Aerospace CTO discusses orbital datacenters at Space Symposium The amount of data going to and from space is increasing at unprecedented rates, so it's no wonder that some think we should shift some of our terrestrial compute into orbit. April 2026 Aerospace and Google prototype AI-assisted monitoring of satellite constellations Constellations are scaling from dozens to thousands of assets. Aerospace and Google have teamed up on a proof-of-concept AI tool designed to assist in managing these growing networks. April 2026 At Satellite in DC, Aerospace CTO recognizes needs and opportunities in commercial collaboration Aerospace CTO and Vice President Dr. Debra Emmons recently sat down for a fireside chat at the Satellite and GovMilSpace conference in Washington, D.C. to talk about the rapidly evolving space environment with moderator... March 2026 Space takes the stage at SXSW 2026 SXSW is a dynamic conference full of innovators and creators: the perfect place to showcase the wide variety of efforts in the space industry — and Aerospace's role in advancing them. March 2026 'It takes a village': Industry, government, and investors team up at Tectonic Defense Summit At the Tectonic Defense Summit in Austin, government and industry leaders discussed how to accelerate and support the space industrial base. March 2026 Following a successful launch, DiskSat attracts its first commercial adopters Following its successful launch in December, DiskSat is now on orbit – and already in the hands of industry. Two companies have already lined up to adapt the flat satellite platform for their own use. February 2026 Aerospace team wins AIAA honors for innovative work on digital twins in reusable launch An Aerospace team taking on a major reusable launch challenge — predicting hardware fatigue and failure — has taken home a prestigious award from the AIAA. February 2026 How Aerospace is helping modernize launch infrastructure To maintain the pace and dominance of space launch services, launch facilities need to be modernized — and Aerospace is already hard at work on that. January 2026 The next phase of space transportation policy must embrace public, private, and global stakeholders A new paper from Aerospace's Center for Space Policy and Strategy finds that the lessons and efforts of the past are still very relevant, but also that today's dynamics suggest a new path forward. January 2026 USSF taps Handle to explore standardizing satellites With lead times shortening and the tech ecosystem accelerating, it's no longer practical to build every satellite from scratch. Handle is a project from Aerospace that makes power and connectivity "plug and play" — and... January 2026 CSPS year in review It's been a big year for the Center for Space Policy and Strategy, and the space industry itself. Here are some of the highlights from 2025, from CSPS policy papers to events and podcasts. December 2025 Startup Showcase: Orbital Robotics As orbital operations grow more numerous, complex, and time-sensitive, autonomous capabilities are increasingly in demand. Orbital Robotics is working on an autonomous arm and perception system that they hope will make... December 2025 Startup Showcase: Magma Space The tiny imperfections on even a single ball bearing may throw off readings or degrade satellites' capabilities. Magma Space is hoping to change that with a replacement for traditional bearing systems that they say... December 2025 Startup Showcase: Sedaro Simulations of orbital operations and threats are becoming increasingly important as the complexity of the space environment mounts. And existing sims aren't nearly fast or precise enough to keep up, claims Robbie... December 2025 Startup Showcase: Little Place Labs Everyone recognizes the value of orbital imagery — and no one wants to wait any longer than they have to for it. Little Place Labs is a startup aiming to reduce the lag time between when data is collected on orbit and... December 2025 Watch DiskSat launch live tonight DiskSat, the latest (and flattest) demonstration mission from Aerospace's spacecraft design innovators, is about to launch — and you can watch it happen live tonight, if you don't mind staying up late. December 2025 DiskSat is ready to launch and show off the future of flat satellites Launch successful! Stay tuned for more news and updates from the team. December 2025 Pagination Page 1 Next
