On June 17, the European Space Agency (ESA) and OHB System AG officially signed an agreement to build LISA—the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. This groundbreaking mission will be the first observatory in space designed to detect gravitational waves, the subtle ripples in spacetime created by colossal events like the collision and merger of supermassive black holes.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), and Blue Origin to foster and facilitate commercial and industrial advancements in the area of space exploration in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

A UK-built spacecraft engine that runs on metal is preparing for its first test in space, in a mission that could pave the way for longer-lasting, more flexible satellites. The plasma thruster, developed by Oxfordshire start-up Magdrive, heats tiny bits of solid metal into a hot gas to produce powerful bursts of thrust. In the future it could allow satellites to recycle parts of themselves, or space junk for fuel, but for now the metal is carried onboard. The launch, scheduled from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California, US, on Saturday at 22:00 BST, is backed by the UK and European space agencies.

The European Space Agency and European Commission say their relationship is closer than ever as they embark on a new satellite program, although some members have raised questions about that program.

Boeing Defense Space & Security (BDS) has been an important player in European defense for decades, and its business in the region continues to grow at a considerable rate as the continent comes to terms with harsh geopolitical realities, highlighted by conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Local regulators have approved Ukrainian telco Kyivstar’s plans to start testing space-enabled texting services this summer using SpaceX’s Starlink constellation, targeting areas crippled by Russian strikes and other terrestrial coverage gaps.

ASPIRE (Advanced Structural Product Integrated Airframe), will deliver and test three composite wingtip variants and a novel composite flap integrating automation, sustainability and manufacturability Consortium includes GKN Aerospace, Carbon ThreeSixty, iCOMAT, Lineat, Pentaxia and the University of Bath, with programme support by Axillium and co-funding from the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI)

President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to move Greenland into the U.S. Northern Command area of responsibility in a shakeup that comes as the president looks to acquire the Danish territory and the U.S. seeks greater control over Arctic regions.

Proba-3, the European Space Agency's dual-satellite mission, has achieved a historic milestone by capturing its first images of the Sun's outer atmosphere during an artificial solar eclipse in orbit. Using advanced formation flying, the mission's two spacecraft aligned with millimeter-level precision to simulate a total eclipse, enabling high-resolution observations of the elusive solar corona.

NATO DIANA seeks novel terrestrial and orbital sensors, connected to modern secure communications systems, data storage and processing centres, and advanced analytics, to inform risk analysis and strategic and tactical planning for civil and military spac
