An op-ed questions whether the space industry is ready for AI-driven spacecraft. Martin Halliwell, a partner at NewSpace Capital, previously led technology and R&D at SES and contributed to SpaceX's reusable rocket initiatives.

A private mission by Northrop Grumman, launched via SpaceX, aims to extend the life of aging communication satellites by attaching jetpacks using a robotic vehicle. The effort is part of a broader trend to prolong satellite operations, with another company also working to boost NASA’s Swift Observatory to prevent its re-entry.

A private mission led by Northrop Grumman launched a robotic spacecraft to attach life-extending jetpacks to aging communication satellites in geosynchronous orbit. Another company, Katalyst Space Technologies, is working to boost NASA’s Swift Observatory to prevent its reentry, supported by a $30 million contract.

A private salvage mission by Northrop Grumman uses a robotic vehicle to attach jetpacks to aging communication satellites, extending their operational life. A separate effort by Katalyst Space Technologies aims to boost NASA’s Swift Observatory to prevent its re-entry.
