Digital transformation: keystone of deterring warfare in space Modernizing space systems' digital architecture—including resilient networks, secure ground-to-space links, and faster data fusion—is essential to deter and withstand hostile activity in orbit. Defense planners argue rapid adoption of cyber-hardened, automated and interoperable systems raises costs for adversaries and reduces single-point failures.

NASA ends financial support for planetary-science advisory groups amid advisory-structure drawdown NASA will end financial support for several planetary-science advisory groups as part of a broader drawdown of the agency’s advisory structure. The move withdraws funded, independent panels that advise on planetary missions and scientific priorities, reducing formal external input into NASA’s decision-making.
