Amazon Leo accelerates LEO deployment after major launch and regulatory win

Amazon's Leo broadband programme gained momentum after a major satellite launch and a regulatory approval, giving the operator both in‑orbit capacity and cleared licensing to advance deployment. The twin developments reduce near‑term operational and commercial risk and support plans to speed service rollouts.

Insider threats could dramatically lower the barrier to satellite hacking The long-held view that satellite hacking requires exceptional technical skill is challenged by analysis arguing insider access—from employees, contractors or partners—can provide credentials, operational knowledge and physical access that bypasses complex ground and space protections, dramatically lowering the barrier to attacks on orbital systems.

GPS III and Beyond: Why U.S. Space-Based Navigation Still Falls Short for Contested Warfare GPS III satellites deliver measurable gains in accuracy and anti‑jamming, but the constellation's MEO‑centric design and reliance on space‑based signals leave U.S. forces exposed in contested environments. Planners say GPS III alone cannot guarantee resilient positioning, navigation and timing for high‑end warfare, prompting search for layered PNT alternatives.
