Operation Epic Fury: U.S. employs B-1s, fighters, missiles and one‑way drones as satellite tracking draws scrutiny U.S. Central Command says Operation Epic Fury assembled the largest concentration of American firepower 'in a generation,' using fighters, B-1 bombers, ships, missiles and—reportedly for the first time—one‑way drones to hit Iranian ballistic‑missile sites. Satellite imagery firms tracking U.S. movements drew scrutiny after some tracked locations were subsequently struck.

Mission‑design strategies to reduce collision risk as satellite proliferation accelerates Rapid growth in Earth‑observation and other smallsat launches is increasing collision and debris hazards in LEO. A new paper in Advanced in Space Research by John Mackintosh and co‑authors at the University of Manchester evaluates mission‑design levers — from orbital choices to operational practices — to reduce cumulative collision risk.
