Proposal: 'Planetary Neural Network' to Defend AI‑Enabled Space Infrastructure A proposal calls for a 'Planetary Neural Network' — a distributed, AI‑driven system to detect, respond to and mitigate cyber and operational threats against AI‑enabled space assets. The plan urges coordinated defense across satellites, ground stations and operators to protect on‑orbit compute and services.

JAXA's H3 failed after premature payload fairing separation Japan's H3 rocket failed in December after an apparent premature separation of the payload fairing, an unusual anomaly investigators say may have caused the satellite to separate from the launcher early. The premature separation likely led to mission failure and has prompted a focused investigation into the launch sequence.
