SES just quietly killed two satellites Intelsat already paid to build, and the cancellation says more about the death of geostationary economics than any earnings call ever could

The two largest European satellite operators are abandoning planned geostationary satellites and pushing the capital toward low Earth orbit, a clear signal that the GEO build-out era is winding down even at its most committed players. SES has canceled two software-defined satellites inherited from Intelsat, mirroring Eutelsat’s earlier decision to scrap its Flexsat Americas program […]

Almost as tricky as calculating a hyperspace jump 😉

"According to NASA, planning the flight path of spacecraft takes careful consideration of many factors, such as trajectory design, orbit reconstruction, tracking the spacecraft’s position and velocity, predicting its future path, and the tools navigators use to control the spacecraft once it’s in space."

Researchers Mapped 30 Million Trips to the Moon. This One's the Cheapest

The tool isn't a one-step solution to the complex task of mission planning, but it will be a useful in evaluating the best trajectory for each mission, the researchers say.
