Hey Canada, we have a spaceport! 🇨🇦🚀 NordSpace's beautiful Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) is officially under construction outside the town of St. Lawrence, in Newfoundland and Labrador! With our first launch of a Canadian commercial rocket from a Canadian commercial spaceport set to take flight in the coming weeks, the future of a true sovereign capability for assured access to space has never looked so promising. We're thrilled to share footage of ASX's SLC-02 publicly for the first time. ASX will support NordSpace’s first commercial launch of our Taiga suborbital rocket with Taiga's launch window opening on August 25th 2025. Taiga is powered by the company’s proprietary 3D-printed Hadfield Mk III liquid rocket engine, and the mission is named "Getting Screeched In". The launch window is subject to road and power interruptions due to the ongoing state of emergency in Newfoundland and Labrador. This launch follows a series of successful tests, including a fully integrated rocket test and a month-long qualification campaign for the Hadfield Mk III engine. Both demonstrated rapid refurbishment capabilities and turnarounds between tests, paving the way for reusable and cost-effective launch operations from Canadian soil. ASX is designed to support our Tundra orbital launch vehicle and partner launch vehicles, facilitating a wide range of orbital and suborbital missions situated at a 46 degree latitude. The initial $10M phase of development for the Atlantic Spaceport Complex will feature two sites: 🚀 SLC-01 will feature two launch pads for orbital missions including NordSpace’s Tundra vehicle and international launch partners from the U.S. and Europe. 🚀 SLC-02 will consist of at least one smaller launch pad for suborbital missions, radar systems for vehicle tracking and space domain awareness, and other ground support equipment to enable all launch operations at the ASX. The ASX will also support NordSpace’s broader portfolio, including our SHARP (Supersonic and Hypersonic Applications Research Platform) program. NordSpace’s CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said, “The start of construction at the Atlantic Spaceport Complex is a seminal moment for Canada. This is not just about building a launch site; it’s about building a future where Canada leads in space exploration, innovation, and security. The ASX is critical national infrastructure that will unlock assured access to space, ensuring our sovereignty and fostering economic growth for generations. We are committed to making the vision of a true sovereign end-to-end space missions capability a reality, and today’s groundbreaking is a testament to our team’s relentless dedication, speed, and capability.” We thank Government of Newfoundland & Labrador, Transport Canada, National Defence, Canadian Space Agency and NAV CANADA for their support.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya just pledged to support dissident scientists in his Senate confirmation hearing: “Dissent is the very essence of science.” “23% of Americans have not much or no confidence at all … in scientists to act in the public’s best interests.” “I have five concrete goals if confirmed as Director of the NIH.” “First, NIH research should focus on research that solves the American chronic disease crisis.” “Life expectancy flatlined between 2012 and 2019, plummeted during the pandemic, and still has not bounced back.” “The chronic disease crisis is severe, with hundreds of millions of Americans—children and adults—suffering from obesity, heart disease, cancer and more.” “Second, NIH-supported science should be replicable, reproducible, and generalizable.” “Unfortunately, much bought modern biomedical science fails this basic test.” “Third, if confirmed, I will establish a culture of respect for free speech in science and scientific dissent at the NIH.” “Over the last few years, top NIH officials oversaw a culture of cover-up, obfuscation, and a lack of tolerance for ideas that differ from theirs.” “Fourth, the NIH must recommit to its mission to fund the most innovative biomedical research agenda possible to improve American health.” “Fifth, the NIH must embrace, and vigorously regulate, risky research that has the possibility of causing a pandemic.” “If confirmed, I'll carry out President Trump's agenda of making the public science institutions of this country worthy of trust and serve to Make America Healthy Again.” Jay Bhattacharya

Mr Zelenskyy, If China had provided military supplies to Russia, the situation on the battleground would not have been where it is now. If your goal is to gain Trump's favor, smearing China won't help. In this video, we see a Chinese drone that can soar through the air with the grace of a bird and a size comparable to a classic hardwood-handled grenade. Its payload coefficient is the highest of any UAV currently in existence. It is also China's micro combat drone which weighs less than one kilogram and is intended for use by all infantry squads. 🔵 During surveillance operations, it can fly stealthily to the area around enemy positions and relay real-time intelligence, including the opponent's troop deployment, weaponry, and equipment, to its headquarters through high-definition cameras. 🔵 During combat, it can carry weapons and up to three grenades. 🔵 This drone's propeller blades are foldable, making it easier to transport and deploy for use in combat. 🔵 This little military drone has a payload capacity that is double its weight. Its ability to harness aerodynamics and produce more lift thanks to its coaxial double-rotor design allows it to transport bigger loads or pieces of equipment. 🔵 The drone has built-in NPU computer capacity, which is powered by AI technology. Allow the drone to learn in advance, and it will be able to perform duties autonomously on the battlefield. 🔵 A 35mm gun-mounted grenade launcher can be used to launch this drone, allowing the soldier to strike at a much greater distance. 🔵 In some situations, this tiny combat drone can be converted into a multi-rotor. In other words, the power mechanism may be easily transformed into a 4-rotor or 6-rotor aircraft, allowing it to carry out a variety of duties and increase its total pulling force.

Today, more than 170 delegates from all 50 states and five countries were in Washington for the 2025 Breakthrough Type 1 Diabetes Children’s Congress. I was proud to chair a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing to welcome the delegates and focus on the importance of federal investment in Type 1 diabetes research. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and I — the founding co-chairs of the bipartisan Senate Diabetes Caucus — introduced legislation this week to reauthorize the Special Diabetes Program, a federal initiative that provides $160 million annually for Type 1 diabetes research and prevention. Thanks to this program and the tireless advocacy of Breakthrough T1D and its Children’s Congress Delegates, we are seeing life changing breakthroughs in the fight against this terrible disease. Some of these developments include the now widely used continuous glucose monitors, the first FDA-approved artificial pancreas, and a groundbreaking clinical trial in which 10 of the 12 participants no longer need insulin to manage their diabetes because of a stem cell-based therapy. Since the founding of the Senate Diabetes Caucus in 1997, federal funding for diabetes research has increased from $319 million to more than $2.3 billion annually. I want to thank our outstanding witnesses for today’s hearing: Ruby Whitmore of Old Town, Maine, Rachel White of North Hampton, New Hampshire, Katie Bone of Bernalillo, New Mexico, and Dr. Griffin Rodgers, Director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Their passionate testimony highlighted both the daily realities of living with type 1 diabetes and the vital role of continued federal research through agencies like the NIDDK. Finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes remains our ultimate goal and has been one of my highest priorities since the very beginning of my Senate service. With continued advocacy, bipartisan support, and strong federal investment, I am confident that day will come.

Excited to announce UtilitySat, the world’s first multi-mission geostationary satellite, that we're launching at the end of this year. This is a first of its kind. And a new product line-- providing on-demand connectivity for disaster relief, bridge capacity, and other missions. We started Astranis to build something new: small communications satellites that provide dedicated broadband capacity for our customers. At the end of this year we’re launching four more of them on a dedicated Falcon 9 rocket, with many more to come after that. That launch of four satellites includes one satellite for Peru, two satellites for in-flight connectivity, and a fourth satellite that had been previously kept under wraps. Until now. Introducing UtilitySat, the Swiss Army Knife of satellites This is a new product— the world’s first multi-mission commercial GEO satellite, capable of conducting multiple fully-operational broadband connectivity missions. And it is just the first of many. We’ll plan to launch many UtilitySats in the years to come. UtilitySat can provide connectivity on standard Ku, Ka, and Q/V bands, and has the flexibility to dial in exact frequencies using Astranis’s proprietary ultra-wideband software-defined radio. It can also relocate dozens of times around the GEO belt over its lifetime. It does this using our unique on-board dual-propulsion architecture, which includes both a chemical monopropellant system and an electric ion thruster. A new mission every year, or every month When we first began development of UtilitySat almost 2 years ago, we had many different missions in mind. UtilitySat can serve as bridge capacity for a customer that is waiting for a dedicated satellite, as an on-orbit spare, or as extra, surge capacity that can be brought in to supplement the broadband service we’re providing to one of our customers. There are acute needs as well — a natural disaster can wipe out terrestrial connectivity over a huge geographic area. One of the top priorities for first responders and during disaster relief is reliable comms on the ground. With multiple UtilitySats on orbit, Astranis can bring in extra capacity on incredibly short notice. Capacity that is compatible with existing, low-cost GEO ground terminals. In initial conversations with customers for UtilitySat, we’ve seen huge demand — these customers often want to lease the entire capacity of the satellite once they learn what UtilitySat can offer. Customers need all the capacity they can get, and new capacity that can be deployed on short notice is a huge deal and a huge departure from traditional GEO satellites. We see a future where customers will be able to call up extra capacity on demand to augment their existing capacity needs, and we’re making that future a reality. US Government applications The first UtilitySat mission will be a commercial one, but we are seeing enormous demand from both from commercial companies and from our government customers. The US Government has unique needs — Combatant Commanders need to be able to task dedicated satellites to specific AORs at a moment’s notice — and surge communications would give them a new tool in their toolbox, helping them win even in a contested environment. And more broadly speaking our military leaders have said the one priority in national security space is to add resiliency to our fleets, using larger numbers of smaller, flexible, and maneuverable satellites so we’re not dependent on just a handful of huge satellites in GEO. UtilitySat shows that Astranis can do just that. Not traditional GEO satellites UtilitySat is only possible because of Astranis’s unique technology — including our proprietary software–defined radio. The flexibility of having on-board digital signal processing allows us to build a standardized satellite design, and move a lot of what used to be done in hardware, into software. UtilitySat uses the standard Astranis MicroGEO platform, adding more frequency bands and some new software capabilities to make maximum use of the available spectrum, no matter where the satellite is on orbit. Traditional geostationary satellites are designed to sit in one orbital slot for up to 20 years, with a set of frequency bands that is hardwired in at the factory. Their single mission must be predetermined many years before they are launched. Astranis does not build traditional GEO satellites. From day one we knew there had to be a better way, and we’re doing it.
