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

NORAD will track Santa's journey around the globe for 70th year

For the 70th year in a row, people of all ages will be able to get updates on Santa's journey around the world from the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado. For the first time, those who want an update from NORAD will be also be able to place a call through the program’s website, which will make it easier for people outside North America to call one of 1,000 volunteers providing Santa updates. Last year, the NORAD Tracks Santa operation center received about 380,000 phone calls. NORAD is a joint United States and Canadian operation charged with monitoring the skies for threats since the Cold War.

"Space Force Weighs Range Upgrades to Support Reusable Rockets" by Air & Space Forces Magazine - Cape Canaveral and Vandenberg launch ranges are seeing many times more rocket launches than they did 10 years ago, and traffic challenges as roads are frequently closed to tow recovered boosters from wharves to refurbishment facilities. It's the problem all the site users wanted to have. Now USSF has to expand facilities to keep things moving. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/space-force-range-upgrades-rocket-reuse/ #USSF #NewSpace #rocketry #space
Space Force Weighs Range Upgrades to Support Reusable Rockets

As more companies pursue reusable rockets, the Space Force plans to upgrade its launch ranges to lessen the strain on infrastructure.
