Miałem okazję być częścią delegacji biznesowej towarzyszącej wizycie premiera @donaldtusk w Indiach. Polska i Indie pogłębiają współpracę m. in. w obronności i kosmosie. Potężny rynek, ogromne możliwości dla polskich firm. Dziękuję za zaproszenie.

For the moment, just a letter of intent 'to explore cooperation.' Future funding will be an interesting element.
ICEYE and @Nokia announced today a partnership with The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine to develop sovereign satellite communications. ICEYE has supported Ukraine since 2022 and delivers sovereign space capability at speed. This builds on that. Read more: hubs.li/Q04C3bj-0

At Umbra, our focus has always been on agility - in our vehicles, our production systems, and our capabilities. Yesterday, Umbra-13 and Umbra-14 successfully deployed and made contact following their launch aboard @SpaceX's Bandwagon-5 rideshare mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The pair builds on our operational heritage, advances our third-generation system, and adds more American-made capability for the United States, its allies, and partners. We've spent years pushing the boundaries of what's possible with space-based radar from industry-leading image quality and collection capacity to flying satellites in formation for cooperative imaging to meet critical mission needs. These aren't future ambitions. We've built, flown, and proven them all on orbit. Redefine Space isn't about putting the most satellites in orbit. It's about investing in multi-mission capability and vertical integration to expand what each satellite can do. Credit: SpaceX

Nobody wants to own up to crippling Ukraine's military communications: Marco Rubio is now stating that SpaceX has the ability to modify the operation of Starshield without the direction or consent of the American government.

Looks like @Arianspace will conduct a 6th launch this year. @Eumetsat @ESA Metop SG-B1 polar-orbiting meteorological sat now at @EuropeSpacePort to prepare end-year liftoff on Ariane 62. Before that, heavier Ariane 64, with 36 @AmazonLeo sats, is set for late November.
