SpaceX doubles Starlink Aviation pricing and redefines coverage with continental “boundaries” between single-area and global pla SpaceX has increased Starlink Aviation prices, moving from one-size coverage toward tiered service plans. The update distinguishes subscriptions for a single defined area versus global coverage, and introduces clearer continental boundaries for where service applies.

Shoebox-sized “detector satellite” concept would enable detection of nuclear weapons in orbit via a cubesat constellation A new study proposes a constellation of shoebox/cubesat-sized satellites fitted with specialized detectors to “sniff out” nuclear weapons secretly placed in space. The concept is aimed at improving verification and deterrence under the Outer Space Treaty’s prohibition on nuclear weapons in orbit by identifying hidden warheads on adversary satellites.

Thaicom pushes Astranis-built Thaicom 9 launch to March 2027 after power-system anomaly on a shared SpaceX micro-GEO satellite Thaicom says its Thaicom 9 satellite—previously scheduled for launch in 2024—has been delayed to March 2027 following a power system anomaly identified on one of the four other Astranis Space Technologies micro-GEO satellites that were sharing a SpaceX launch. The issue drives a multi-satellite schedule slip for the cluster.
