U.S. Space Force Readies ‘Meadowlands’ & Remote Modular Terminal Jammers to Counter China; Space Force Association Pushes Awareness — Nov. 11, 2025

U.S. Space Force Awareness Drive Expands as ‘Meadowlands’ and RMT Jammers Near Fielding — Nov. 11, 2025 Update

Published: November 11, 2025 The Space Force Association is scaling a nationwide education push amid persistently low public awareness, while the U.S. Space Force readies two new satellite‑jamming systems—Meadowlands and the Remote Modular Terminal—to join its Counter Communications System. Here’s what changed today and why it matters. What’s new today Why the Space Force is campaigning so hard Public understanding of the Space Force remains thin. At the end of last year, Deputy CSO for Human Capital Katharine Kelley said “less than 8 percent” of the public even knows the service exists—a data point she offered in a public forum

U.S. Space Force Readies ‘Meadowlands’ & Remote Modular Terminal Jammers to Counter China; Space Force Association Pushes Awareness — Nov. 11, 2025

The United States Space Force is on the cusp of expanding its non‑kinetic counter‑space toolkit with two additional ground‑based jamming systems—L3Harris’ “Meadowlands” and the Remote Modular Terminal (RMT)—as advocates race to close a stubborn public awareness gap about the service’s mission and value. Together, these developments underscore how quickly space is becoming a contested warfighting domain and why the Space Force is investing in capabilities that can temporarily blind or deafen adversary satellites without creating orbital debris. Bloomberg Law+1 What’s new today (Nov. 11) The hardware: three acknowledged jamming options Two new systems. According to Space Force data reported by

Space Showdown: Starlink Doubleheader, Vulcan’s Debut, Ariane 6 Triumph & Cosmic Discoveries (Aug 14–15, 2025)

Space Showdown: Starlink Doubleheader, Vulcan’s Debut, Ariane 6 Triumph & Cosmic Discoveries (Aug 14–15, 2025)

On Aug. 14, 2025, SpaceX launched two Falcon 9 missions 12 hours apart, first from Vandenberg with 24 Starlink satellites and then from Cape Canaveral with 28 Starlink satellites, with deployments confirmed and boosters recovered at sea (one on its 10th flight). These back-to-back flights brought SpaceX’s 2025 Falcon 9 count to 99 and pushed the Starlink megaconstellation to over 8,100 active satellites in orbit. California’s Coastal Commission unanimously vetoed SpaceX’s plan to raise Vandenberg’s annual Falcon 9 launches from 50 to 95, with the U.S. Space Force signaling a possible override and SpaceX suing the commission.

The Future Is Here: Top Gun Sights of 2025-2026 (Red Dots, Holographic, Thermal & More Compared)

The Future Is Here: Top Gun Sights of 2025-2026 (Red Dots, Holographic, Thermal & More Compared)

In 2025, enclosed-emitter micro red dots dominated the market, led by Aimpoint’s COA ultra-compact duty sight with an A-Cut mounting interface that locks directly into Glock slides. Trijicon released the Ruggedized Closed Reflex (RCR) for the RMR footprint, featuring a 7075-T6 Owl Ear housing, a top-loading battery, and waterproofing to 20 meters. C&H Precision introduced the EDC Enclosed micro red dot under $250 MSRP, using the RMSc footprint with shake-to-wake activation and a side-loading battery tray. The Burris FastFire E line expanded into a larger enclosed design with a 3.5 MOA dot, 60,000-hour battery life, and approximately a $420 MSRP.

Night Vision Revolution: Top Goggles, Scopes & Thermal Tech of 2025–2026

Night Vision Revolution: Top Goggles, Scopes & Thermal Tech of 2025–2026

Gen3 image intensifier tubes currently offer a Figure of Merit (FOM) over 2300, with white phosphor tubes replacing green for sharper, higher-contrast views. The L3Harris ENVG-B goggles fuse dual white phosphor image intensification with a thermal overlay and have already delivered over 10,000 units to military users. The Army’s Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) is a mixed-reality goggle based on Microsoft HoloLens tech, with IVAS 1.2 delivered in 2023 and field trials ongoing for potential limited deployment by 2025–2026. <li ATN ThOR 5 XD is a thermal rifle scope with a 1280×1024 HD thermal sensor and 4–40× zoom, plus an

Umbrella in Orbit: ESA’s BIOMASS Satellite Lifts Earth’s Green Veil, Revealing Hidden Carbon Stores and Jaw‑Dropping First Images

Umbrella in Orbit: ESA’s BIOMASS Satellite Lifts Earth’s Green Veil, Revealing Hidden Carbon Stores and Jaw‑Dropping First Images

BIOMASS uses a fully polarimetric P-band SAR with a 70 cm wavelength to pierce through canopies and measure woody trunks where most forest carbon is stored. The 12-meter deployable reflector, shaped like an umbrella and built by L3Harris, directs radar pulses back to the sensor. The 1.25-tonne spacecraft was launched on 29 April 2025 aboard a Vega-C rocket from Kourou into a 666 km sun-synchronous orbit (flight VV26). The gold-colored reflector unfurled in orbit on 7 May 2025, marking a key commissioning milestone. First images show colour-coded maps of the Amazon, Indonesia, and the bedrock of the Sahara.

Solar Tempests & Orbital Guardians: The Secret Life of Space-Weather Satellites

Solar Tempests & Orbital Guardians: The Secret Life of Space-Weather Satellites

1859: British astronomer Richard Carrington observed a powerful solar flare, and within a day telegraph systems worldwide went haywire while auroras appeared near the equator—the Carrington Event, the largest geomagnetic storm on record. During the 1957–58 International Geophysical Year, Explorer-1 became the first U.S. satellite to discover the Van Allen radiation belts encircling Earth. SOHO, launched in 1995, sits at the Sun–Earth L1 point and uses the LASCO coronagraph to image CMEs, providing continuous data for 1–3 day storm forecasts and imaging the Sun for over 25 years. ACE (launched 1997) and DSCOVR (launched 2015) operate upstream solar-wind monitors at

Spies in the Sky: The Ultimate Guide to Spy Satellites and Their Secrets

The CORONA (Discoverer) program operated from 1959 to 1972 as the United States’ first photo-reconnaissance satellite program, with Discoverer XIV achieving the first mid-air film recovery in August 1960. KH-11 KENNEN (CRYSTAL), first launched in 1976, introduced electro-optical digital imaging with about 15 cm per-pixel resolution, and a 2019 declassified image from USA-224 reportedly achieved around 10 cm resolution. Lacrosse/Onyx, the US SAR reconnaissance program begun in 1988, used large radar antennas for all-weather imaging and was succeeded by the smaller Topaz (FIA Radar) satellites in the 2010s. The USSR’s Zenit series began in 1961 with over 500 launches using
