Plan B for Space: National‑security risks of concentrating critical space capabilities in private hands Private companies have moved from peripheral actors to operators of critical U.S. space functions — launching and deploying satellites, transporting cargo and astronauts to the ISS, and flying lunar landers. That concentration of essential capabilities in commercial hands creates national‑security vulnerabilities and complicates contingency planning for government missions.

European Commission won’t impose fines on suppliers who miss SAF mandates The European Commission has said it will not levy penalties on sustainable aviation fuel suppliers that fail to meet EU blending mandates, signalling enforcement leniency for mandated SAF volumes. The decision removes the threat of fines for supplier shortfalls while leaving the mandates themselves in place.

FCC proposes easing TT&C spectrum rules to open bands for smallsats and experimental space operations The FCC proposed loosening telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) spectrum rules to free additional bands for small satellites, cubesats and other unconventional space operations. The change is intended to simplify spectrum access for spacecraft control, enabling faster deployments and more experimental missions.
