Heads up! Satellite incoming!

Originally predicted to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere in 2034, the U.S. Space Force (USSF) confirmed that the Van Allen Probe A spacecraft re-entered the atmosphere over the eastern Pacific Ocean region at 6:37 am. EDT on Wed, Mar 11.

NASA expected most of the spacecraft to burn up as it traveled through the atmosphere, but some components may have survived re-entry.

Scientists confirmed the sun had reached its solar maximum, triggering intense space weather events which increased atmospheric drag on the spacecraft beyond initial estimates, resulting in the early re-entry. https://www.nasa.gov/missions/van-allen-probes/nasa-van-allen-probe-a-to-re-enter-atmosphere/ #NASA #USSF #VanAllenProbe #Space #SpaceCraft #Re-Entry #Satellite #EarthOrbit #Sun #spaceWeather #Atmosphere

SpaceX burrows in deeper with new contract with the US Space Force (USSF).

USSF has confirmed its partnership with SpaceX to deploy a new dedicated military satellite communications architecture “MILNET".

MILNET is designed to operate as a high-capacity “backbone” layer and will ultilize 480 satellites designed to provide high-bandwidth, resilient communications.

The USSF expects the first batch of dedicated MILNET satellites to begin deployment in mid-2026 with operating capability projected for late 2027. https://news.satnews.com/2025/12/29/u-s-space-force-and-spacex-partner-to-develop-480-satellite-milnet-constellation/ #Space #SpaceX #USSF #SpaceForce #USGov #Military #Milnet #Satellite
