China successfully launched the Yaogan-50 02 remote sensing satellite into space at 21:22 on Sunday aboard a modified Long March-6 carrier rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The satellite entered its planned orbit smoothly and will be used for land surveys, crop yield estimation, and disaster prevention and mitigation, according to CCTV News.

💢 Watch: Dashcam video shows Hezbollah’s long-range missile strike on a major Israeli satellite communications facility in the Elah Valley, about 100 miles from Lebanon. The group said the attack was retaliation for Israeli strikes on Lebanese cities and Beirut’s southern suburbs. ➤ The target hit was the Emek HaEla Teleport near Beit Shemesh, one of Israel’s main satellite relay hubs, hosting more than 80 antennas used for broadcasting, data transmission, and military communications. ➤ Israeli officials reported an “isolated failure” in air defenses, allowing at least two missiles to hit central Israel without interception or warning sirens.

ROCKET LAUNCH over Washington D.C.! Look at this... the SpaceX Falcon 9 just launched from Cape Canaveral at 6:13 p.m., and we got to see it in the DMV! It was more than 150 miles above the ground, so its plume caught the sunlight. A more peaceful scene over DCA tonight:

🇺🇸AMAZON HITCHES A RIDE WITH SPACEX - TO BUILD A STARLINK RIVAL Amazon’s latest Project Kuiper satellites are now heading to orbit - thanks to none other than Elon’s Falcon 9. The KF-01 mission is taking 24 satellites into low Earth orbit, marking Bezos’ third Kuiper deployment and his first aboard a SpaceX rocket. It’s a wild twist: Bezos is relying on his biggest rival to meet an FCC deadline to get half of Kuiper’s 3,236-satellite constellation live by mid-2026. Source: SpaceX

🚨What Happened in the Gulf That Satellite Images Had to Be Delayed 🚨Something catastrophic just happened in the Gulf. The American satellite company Planet Labs has imposed a 96 hour blackout on new satellite imagery covering the Gulf states, Iraq, and Kuwait. Why would imagery suddenly be delayed? Because real time satellite photos would immediately reveal the scale of destruction to military facilities. Reports confirm Iran launched missile and drone strikes targeting the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters at Naval Support Activity Bahrain in Manama. Explosions were seen across the base. Buildings damaged. Infrastructure hit. Communications facilities struck. And now the satellite feed over the entire region just went dark. When imagery gets delayed during wartime… It usually means the damage is massive and the full picture isn’t ready to be revealed. Four days. That’s how long the world may have to wait to see what really happened. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

🇺🇸 SPACEX FIRES UP SUPER HEAVY FOR STARSHIP FLIGHT 9 SpaceX just completed a static fire test of its Super Heavy booster ahead of Starship’s 9th flight. This isn’t its first rodeo—this booster flew on Flight 7 and returned safely. 29 of its 33 Raptor engines are already flight-proven, making this one of the most battle-tested rockets yet. All systems go for the next big push to orbit. Source: SpaceX

Hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles sent by Iran have been intercepted by Israel, the U.S., and Jordan. This is the first time in history that Iran attacked Israel directly. There is another barrage on the way. Other countries that are also attacking Israel right now include Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon. Israel has canceled all educational activities throughout the country and has notified its allies that Iran is going to pay a steep price for this unprecedented attack on its soil. Like I said, this is a historic event that won’t end here. Pray for Israel.

We just streamed the first ultra-HD video brought to you via laser from deep space. And it’s a video of Taters, a tabby cat. This test will pave the way for high-data-rate communications in support of the next giant leap: sending humans to Mars.

🇵🇰🚀 Pakistan Completes EO-3 Launch, Accelerating Its Satellite Constellation Drive Pakistan has successfully placed its PRSC EO-3 Earth Observation Satellite into orbit, marking a significant step in the country’s expanding space programme. The satellite, developed domestically by SUPARCO, was launched from China’s Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, underscoring a model of local manufacturing supported by external launch capability. EO-3 completes a three satellite Earth Observation series: ◽EO-1 (2025) ◽EO-2 (February 2026) ◽EO-3 (latest launch) Together, they form the backbone of a planned integrated Earth Observation system aimed at improving data availability and coverage. Pakistan now operates 5+ Earth observation satellites, with most deployed in the last two years, highlighting a noticeable acceleration in activity. Officials describe the programme as part of a broader shift: 📡 From isolated missions → to a coordinated satellite network From external reliance → to increasing data independence 🚀 From slow launches → to a structured rollout strategy The EO-3 mission also reflects continued technical cooperation with China, particularly in launch services. With additional satellites expected in the coming years, Pakistan appears to be moving toward a multi satellite constellation designed for regular, wide area monitoring. The direction is clear: a steady build up rather than a one off achievement.

BREAKING WW3 RED ALERT!!! 🚨🚨🚨⚠️⚠️⚠️ IRAN HAS JUST LAUNCHED A BARRAGE OF HUNDREDS OF CRUISE MISSILES AND DRONES INTO ISRAEL! The United States is reportedly sending fighter jets over to Israel. This will provoke Iran to attack US. IF that happens RUSSIA, and CHINA will step into protect Iran. Dont forget, .Joe Biden FUNDED Iran to the tune of $10 BILLION, which enabled the Oct. 7th attack on Israel by Hamas, and now THIS. WORLD WAR 3 WILL OFFICIALLY START ON BIDEN’S WATCH. PRAY FOR DEESCALATION!

🚨 HOUTHIS SIGNAL ESCALATION IN ISRAEL WAR The Houthis have now entered the conflict — launching missiles at Israel for the first time. But the bigger signal is this: They’ve warned their forces are ready for direct military intervention if attacks on Iran and its allies continue. This is no longer contained. It’s becoming a multi-front war. And every new player raises the stakes.

🚨🇺🇸 ANOTHER CLEAN RETURN FOR SPACEX AS FALCON HAS A FLAWLESS TOUCHDOWN SpaceX nailed it again. Falcon 9 booster successfully touched down at Landing Zone 4 moments ago after launching [payload/mission details if known, otherwise: its latest mission from Cape Canaveral. The booster, fresh off the pad, executed a textbook return to LZ 4 on Florida's Space Coast, legs deployed, engines relit, and a perfect vertical touchdown. This marks yet another precise landing for the reusable rocket program that's redefined spaceflight. With boosters now routinely flying multiple missions, SpaceX continues to drive down launch costs and push rapid reusability closer to reality. Falcon 9 landing at LZ-4 is the kind of routine that used to be impossible. Now it's just a Friday. Yet it still gets me every time. Source: SpaceX, NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

SpaceX has introduced a new website for its next-generation Starlink V3 satellites, along with new information about the satellite. • 1 Tbps downlink capacity (~10× higher than Starlink V2). • 160 Gbps uplink capacity (~22× higher than Starlink V2). • 2,048 downlink beams + 2,048 uplink beams (vs. 192 downlink/144 uplink beams on V2). • Upgraded phased array antennas enable the increased user capacity and beam count. • New SpaceX-designed beamformer chips power the phased arrays. • Modem chips handle ~64× more throughput per chip, allowing more efficient simultaneous service and real-time beam allocation based on demand. • Each satellite includes 6 high-capacity 400 Gbps laser links, enabling a redundant petabit-scale laser mesh network for global routing. • Each satellite also has 4 quad-band RF backhaul antennas operating across Ka, E, V, and W bands. • RF backhaul capacity increases to 1.2 Tbps (>8× Starlink V2). • Backhaul uplink supports 60 GHz of spectrum across frequencies and polarizations (4.3× more than V2). • New solar arrays generate ~2× the power of the V2 satellite arrays. • Solar arrays are manufactured using a continuous roll of solar blanket, cut into 19-meter sections, with 4 sections stitched together per array. • Solar arrays are optimized to reduce atmospheric drag in low Earth orbit. • A Starship launch carrying V3 satellites will deploy ~20× more network capacity than a Falcon 9 launch carrying V2 satellites. • V3 technology will support future Starlink Mobile Gen 2 satellites, delivering terrestrial-like LTE speeds directly to unmodified smartphones.
