Vantor, formerly Maxar Intelligence, has been awarded a contract to support the US Space Force (USSF) in tracking high-interest objects that pass through "blind spots" in space. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and Texas A&M University have secured a $1 million grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research for cislunar tracking. The European Space Agency (ESA) is adding a new numerical health index to its yearly Space Environment Report, and more.
