Space Force’s Victus Haze mission completes first tactical orbital intercept with two satellites The U.S. Space Force says its Victus Haze mission—featuring a private spacecraft used to pit satellites against each other—has completed the service’s first tactical intercept of an orbital target. The milestone advances operational testing for close-in counterspace capabilities and space-domain awareness.

NASA launches (and briefly holds) orbital-rescue mission to raise the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory’s orbit before reentry NASA has launched a robotic LINK spacecraft to rendezvous with the aging Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and boost it into a higher orbit ahead of a dangerous atmospheric reentry risk. The mission was executed by a U.S.-China–era tech supplier effort led by Arizona startup Katalyst after a last-minute launch issue delayed takeoff.

Amazon’s Leo LEO broadband constellation nears 400 satellites after ULA launch, setting up initial service later this year to ch Amazon says its Leo low-Earth-orbit satellite broadband network is now large enough for continuous service across initial latitudes, following a United Launch Alliance mission that pushed the orbiting satellite count over 390. Amazon plans to begin initial internet service later this year as it competes with SpaceX’s Starlink dominance.

UN space situational awareness framework faces friction over operator-to-operator links A UN committee developing a coordinated international framework for space situational awareness and satellite collision avoidance has hit a roadblock. The sticking point: some nations want government agencies to be the first contact for operator communications, rather than allowing private sector operator-to-operator coordination. The group plans its first report in July.
