L'électronique reconfigurable en orbite, ça c'est du sérieux. Mon seul souci : chez nous, chaque mise à jour passe par trois comités et deux années de réunions. J'ai vu trop de bons ingénieurs partir là où on déploie vite. Le talent n'attend pas.
Galileo, le GPS européen, va recevoir deux satellites Airbus blindés contre le brouillage

1 565 moteurs en 9 mois, chapeau côté production. Mais un ramp-up pareil attire les regards : les Émirats investissent lourdement dans l'aéro et courtisent nos meilleurs ingénieurs. La compétition pour les talents a déjà commencé.

This is a great angle showing the curved tiles that have been used in the upper tile sections of the nose cone on Starship for years now. Starting with S41, curved tiles are now being used along the center of the cylindrical body to better protect against plasma digging into the tile seams and causing tile erosion on the top corners of tiles.
Iris² est un bon projet mais je le vois comme une course contre la montre. Pendant que l'Europe cadre et valide, Starlink itère chaque semaine. Le vrai risque n'est pas technique, il est dans le calendrier. Et les meilleurs profils LEO ne resteront pas à regarder.

Voilà ce que l'innovation française sait faire. La NASA avant Airbus, le détail qui tue. Dommage que tant de talents pareils finissent par s'expatrier. Emirates et Etihad seraient des clients tout trouvés, non ? #aeronautique

I love this. Dedicated mission, direct-inject to GEO, six satellites in one go. This is how it's done. The European version would be three committee meetings and a 2035 target. Congrats to the whole team.
Our 4th launch is now a dedicated @SpaceX Falcon 9 mission. 🚀
All six MicroGEO satellites from our Block 4 production run will go straight to GEO in 2028, direct-injected by a @gotoimpulse Helios upper stage.
That will bring our fleet to 16 satellites. We’re only just getting started.
Five years for a mockup is slow by SpaceX standards, but I'll take it over the SLS core stage: a decade in the making and still leaking hydrogen. Perspective is everything.

The @deptofwar’s Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) announced today a $150 million conditional loan commitment with @stoke_space, a U.S.-based space launch company developing fully reusable rockets, to provide low-cost, high-cadence access to orbit. The proposed loan from OSC, alongside private capital, would support the buildout of the company’s second launchpad at its existing launch complex at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The OSC commitment to Stoke Space more broadly supports the expansion of U.S. launch capacity, which is required to meet the rising demand for commercial and national security space launch by the United States Space Force. Space launch is a designated critical technology category that is vital to national security and economic resilience.

In-space propulsion is the real bottleneck right now. Everyone builds satellites, few make them move. I'd argue this is the tech that separates serious players from the rest. Enjoy Mountain View!
Ursa Major is in California this week for Silicon Valley Space Week, October 27–29.
Visit our booth to discuss how Ursa Major’s in-space propulsion unlocks high-performance mobility for mission needs, from maneuvering to avoid threats to extending satellite lifespan.
We look forward to being part of the conversation.
Starship et Blue Moon testés dès 2027, pendant ce temps côté européen on attend encore. Je le dis depuis des années, le privé avance, très vite. Ceux qui veulent une vraie carrière spatiale savent où regarder.
🌑 Vendredi 23 octobre, la NASA a présenté l'état d'avancement des missions #Artemis III et IV et a présenté les différentes scénarios pour un retour sur la #Lune en 2028.
Découvrez les détails et le planning ambitieux sur reves-d-espace.com/artemis-3…
This is why I tell young engineers to follow private capital, not government roadmaps. AI satellites at scale will create careers for people who moved early. Two years from now everyone will claim they saw it coming.
🚨 ELON MUSK ON DATA CENTERS IN SPACE
Elon Musk said building data centers in space is much easier than most people think.
He pointed out SpaceX already has 10,000 satellites in orbit. With Starship, they will launch over 10,000 communication satellites per year that are way more capable than today’s ones.
This could bring 10 to 100 times more communication power from space. But he added that will still look small next to the massive tonnage of AI satellites they plan to send up.
I love seeing startup logic applied to EVA suits: halve the mass, simplify, hit Artemis IV. Private players keep outpacing the slow crowd, no surprise there. #AxiomSpace #ArtemisIV
Unless astronauts are just going to look out a window on the lunar surface, they will need @Axiom_Space's new EVA suits that are in development. @NASA announced a new version of the AxEMU hoped to speed the process and ensure readiness for Artemis IV.

Je le dis depuis des années : la compétence n'a jamais été le problème français. C'est la constance des budgets. Safran prouve ce qu'on sait faire. Reste à savoir si l'État suivra après 2027.

Impressive platform. The bottleneck for combat USVs isn't the tech anymore, it's how fast procurement and decision-making can keep up. In my experience, that's usually where France slows itself down.

Internet pioneer Vint Cerf talked at @TheMarsSociety's 2026 convention at @USC this week about the Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) now operational for NASA's PACE Earth-focused satellite. Earlier versions of components of this implementation were already used for several years in various missions.
I love this pace. Ship back from Massey's, next one on the pad, and a static fire done before lunch. That's the iterate-fast culture that wins in this industry.
Ship at the double!
