ESA orbiters record record‑breaking solar superstorm striking Mars and altering its atmosphere ESA's Mars orbiters logged a rare solar superstorm that struck Mars — producing the largest atmospheric response observed there to date — and confirmed the same event also impacted Earth. Instruments recorded changes in the Red Planet's upper atmosphere, yielding new data on storm interactions with non‑magnetized planets.

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.
