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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Launch successful! Stay tuned for more news and updates from the team.

Aerospace recently led the Space Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, convening leaders in the space domain, investment, and government to discuss the bright future of the industry.

The day began with a startup...

Aerospace recently hosted a group of commercial companies and researchers for a live demo of a digital wargame called Spoon Bender that simulates complex satellite conflict on orbit. The software is being adapted as a...

Fox Business anchor Max Gorden recently visited Aerospace's Tech Campus in El Segundo, where he interviewed Steve Isakowitz live for the Varney & Co and Big Money shows.

To perform space rescues safely and effectively, we first need to plan for them — and to back those plans up, a firm foundation of hardware interoperability and standard procedures.

An Aerospace-NASA collaboration attempts to address the difficulty of precision navigation in cislunar space.

Aerospace's Greg Richardson talks to Payload about the definition of in-space assembly and manufacturing and how we ought to pursue it.

The European Union is preparing to release the EU Space Act later in 2025, which will establish new regulations and requirements for space companies providing services within its dominion.

It's part of a tentative global...

One of the most intractable challenges to realizing space innovation is the “flight-proven” paradox, in which new technologies lack flight heritage and struggle to gain the confidence of the investors, insurers, buyers...

Aerospace and the US Space Force's SpaceWERX are fast tracking commercial technologies to meet the rapidly evolving needs of national security space in a new program called TRL Bootcamp.

New opportunities for commercial collaboration are driving rapid innovation, opening up new pathways and options for the nation’s space programs to approach mission designs and systems. Recently held in San Francisco...

Engineers at The Aerospace Corporation have developed what they call an Autodynamic Flexible Circuit, which will enable new adaptable and resilient approaches for space robotics, satellites and other innovations for...

A new era of integration, innovation and collaboration for human, uncrewed and robotic space activity is underway. U.S. preeminence in space may someday expand within this paradigm even to the far reaches of the solar...

The Aerospace Corporation’s Slingshot 1 mission is successfully demonstrating the potential for modular technologies to improve the flexibility of satellites and expedite the integration timeline for payloads. The 12...
