SpaceX just completed back-to-back Falcon 9 launches from both coasts in under 12 hours. Florida, then California. That was launches 20 and 21 for 2026. We're barely eight weeks into the year. Here's what the last ten days looked like. The 600th Falcon 9 flight in history. The 20th crewed Dragon mission delivering astronauts to the ISS. A booster flying its 31st mission. The second ever rocket landing in the Bahamas, resuming after a year-long environmental review. Over 50 Starlink satellites deployed across back-to-back launches. And another launch tonight. The constellation now has over 11,200 satellites launched, 9,700 in orbit, and 10 million subscribers. The FCC approved expansion to 15,000 satellites. Starlink is on pace to become one of the highest-revenue connectivity businesses on the planet. No other entity on Earth is doing anything close to this. Not governments. Not other companies. SpaceX is operating at a cadence that would have seemed impossible five years ago. This is the machine that makes everything else possible.

🚨 10,000 STARLINK SATELLITES IN ORBIT - AND NOBODY'S EVEN CLOSE SpaceX crossed 10K satellites last week. For context: the entire world launched around 8,700 total spacecraft in all of history before Starlink started. They're completing Starlink missions every 48 hours now. Just set a California pad turnaround record - 2 days, 10 hours between launches from the same facility. That's industrial-scale space operations, not aerospace. The constellation now blankets the planet with low-latency internet from pole to pole. Amazon's Project Kuiper? Still on the launchpad. OneWeb? Bankrupt and resurrected, now limping along. China's building their own - years behind. SpaceX isn't winning the satellite internet race. They've won it long ago. Everyone else is fighting for scraps.

The United Launch Alliance Atlas V has arrived on the launch pad for its midnight ride to low Earth orbit tonight, continuing the rocket's workhorse service in helping deploy the Amazon Leo constellation. ULA's Atlas has launched more than half of the network's satellites so far. ULA is proceeding with a continuous roll-and-launch in a single-day countdown, part of our efforts to increase launch cadence for our Amazon Leo customer. This effort reduces the amount of time the rocket spends at the pad, enabling launch to occur sooner. Liftoff time is 12:24 a.m. EDT (0424 UTC). // Amazon Leo

I decided to establish a comms constellation around Kerbin using three equally spaced relay satellites in geostationary orbits. It was a single launch mission. I circularized at 2,863,334 meters above Kerbin, which places the orbital period at 6 hours - the same duration as a Kerbin day. This gives the appearance that the satellite hovers over one spot on the planet. I launched the first relay there, then burned retrograde to reduce the periapsis until my instruments reported a 4 hour orbital period - 2/3s of a Kerbin day. Once I got back around to apogee, I launched the second relay and circularized, then did it once more for the final relay.

🚨 A SATELLITE JUST REVEALED SOMETHING SHOCKING: GPS JAMMING IS FAR MORE WIDESPREAD THAN ANYONE REALIZED. An experimental navigation satellite called Pulsar-0, flying just 500 km above Earth, has mapped GPS signal tampering from space for the first time and the scale surprised even the engineers who built it. As soon as the satellite passed over Europe and parts of the Middle East, its GPS receiver showed massive signal degradation. In the worst areas, signal strength dropped from a normal 40 decibels all the way down to just 10 decibels. Why this matters: • Ground-based jammers (used in conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East) are now reaching all the way into low Earth orbit • Satellites like Starlink that rely on GPS for collision avoidance and positioning are being affected across a huge region from France to the borders of Pakistan • When GPS drops out, satellites can’t accurately point their antennas, maintain formation, or safely maneuver • This isn’t just a military problem it threatens the growing network of commercial satellites we increasingly depend on The deeper implication: We’ve long known that GPS signals on the ground can be jammed. What we didn’t fully appreciate is how far those jamming signals reach into space. Even satellites in low Earth orbit the backbone of global communications, Earth observation, and future mega-constellations are now operating in an increasingly hostile electromagnetic environment. Xona’s upcoming constellation aims to fix this with signals 100 times stronger than traditional GPS. But the bigger question remains: as more nations and groups weaponize jamming and spoofing, how resilient will our orbital infrastructure actually be? How concerned are you that GPS jamming is now reaching into space and affecting satellites? Follow for more frontier space technology and the hidden vulnerabilities of our orbital systems.

🇵🇰🚀 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: Starcloud just turned Starlink’s laser network into the backbone for orbital AI data centers. A company called Starcloud has ordered 50+ Starlink Mini Laser terminals to equip 25+ future satellites. Not ground stations. Not fiber cables. Direct laser-linked computing nodes in orbit plugged straight into SpaceX’s space-based optical mesh. This is the sci-fi future arriving now: Orbital cloud computing AI servers floating in space Powered by 24/7 sunlight Connected globally at light speed via Starlink lasers The insane part: Starcloud says its satellites will eventually handle full AI inference and training workloads directly in orbit. Data won’t always need to come back to Earth to be processed. The advantages are massive: • Unlimited solar energy (no grid limits) • Zero land or water constraints • Passive radiative cooling in vacuum • Instant global relay with zero terrestrial bottlenecks • Near real-time Earth observation analysis Their first major spacecraft (Starcloud-3) is designed for 200 kilowatts in orbit a full-on space-based data center node, not just a satellite. And here’s the bigger picture: SpaceX has filed plans for up to ONE MILLION orbital data centers of its own. Read that again. We may be watching the birth of the first true space-based computing infrastructure layer for civilization. The internet already left the ground. Now AI might be next. What happens when the cloud literally moves into space? Follow for more frontier physics and future technology.
