Quantum computing race turns encryption into an “in-orbit” national security risk for satellite operators Quantum computing progress is accelerating as nations compete to deploy systems powerful enough to break today’s encryption methods. The shift creates direct exposure for the commercial space sector—especially satellite operators—whose communications and control rely on current cryptographic protections.

US Army creates a dedicated Space Operations Branch to integrate space-based capabilities into broader military operations The US Army is establishing a Space Operations Branch to tightly integrate space-based technologies with its overall combat capabilities. The move underscores how space systems are being operationalized as part of day-to-day Army missions rather than treated as a separate, external layer of support.

#SpaceWatchGl Opinion: ISOS4I as Europe’s autonomous in-orbit servicing enabler for space resilience The #SpaceWatchGl opinion argues that ISOS4I could become Europe’s “active operational element” for space resilience by enabling autonomous in-orbit servicing. It also highlights that major technical hurdles remain before such capabilities can be fielded, despite the resilience benefits envisioned for on-orbit assets.
