SpaceX Starlink Satellite 35956 Is Tumbling Toward Earth: New WorldView-3 Imagery Shows Craft Largely Intact After In‑Orbit Anomaly

On December 21, 2025, new details emerged about Starlink satellite 35956, the SpaceX internet satellite that recently suffered an on‑orbit anomaly and began tumbling as it slowly loses altitude. A fresh non‑Earth image collected by commercial space-surveillance firm Vantor using WorldView‑3 suggests the satellite is “largely intact,” even after an event that produced a small debris field and cut off communications with ground controllers. LinkedIn+2India Today+2 The update adds an important visual datapoint to a story that has quickly become a flashpoint in the ongoing debate over space traffic management and orbital debris—especially as Starlink remains the world’s largest satellite

Tsunami Seen From Space: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Captures 2025 Kamchatka Megaquake in Unprecedented Detail

Tsunami Seen From Space: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Captures 2025 Kamchatka Megaquake in Unprecedented Detail

When a magnitude 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29, 2025, it sent a tsunami racing across almost the entire Pacific. Now, scientists have revealed something just as extraordinary as the quake itself: for the first time, a satellite has captured a giant Pacific tsunami in high-resolution detail from space, forcing a rethink of how these waves behave and how we forecast them. Wikipedia+1 New analyses of data from NASA and CNES’s Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite – published in The Seismic Record at the end of November – show a surprisingly intricate tsunami wavefield that challenges

Skywatch Alert: Aurora, Meteor Showers & Satellite Sights – What to See Sept 29–30, 2025

Space Weather Forecast Space weather experts agree: late September will be mostly uneventful. NOAA’s SWPC issued a 3-day forecast on Sept 29 predicting only quiet to unsettled geomagnetic conditions (Kp indices up to 4) services.swpc.noaa.gov. In its rationale NOAA explicitly notes “No G1 (Minor) or greater geomagnetic storms are expected” on Sept 29–30 services.swpc.noaa.gov. EarthSky’s “Sun News” bulletin echoed this outlook, describing Sept 29–30 as “Quiet to unsettled” as the effects of a coronal-hole high-speed stream (CH HSS) wane earthsky.org.

Amazon Launches 27 Satellites in High-Stakes Race Against SpaceX’s Starlink

Amazon Launches 27 Satellites in High-Stakes Race Against SpaceX’s Starlink

Amazon’s Space Race: Project Kuiper Launches 27 More Satellites — How It Stacks Up Against Starlink Bottom Line: Amazon’s latest launch of 27 Kuiper satellites is a significant milestone in the space internet showdownwith SpaceX. It dramatically scales up Amazon’s in-orbit assets and demonstrates the company’s commitment to catching up in this critical new industry. Project Kuiper is still in early days – 129 satellites versus Starlink’s 8,000+ – but Amazon’s vast resources, massive launch contracts, and integrations with its tech ecosystem position it as a formidable challenger. If Amazon can execute its blistering launch schedule and hit service milestones, 2025–2026 will see global broadband

Argentina’s Space Industry Is Taking Off: Inside the Satellite Boom and What’s Next

Key Facts Historical Evolution of Argentina’s Space Industry Argentina’s journey into space began remarkably early. In the 1940s, visionary engineer Teófilo Tabanera formed the Sociedad Argentina Interplanetaria, making Argentina the first Latin American country with a spaceflight organization en.wikipedia.org. By 1960 – nearly a year before humans reached space – Argentina established the National Commission for Space Research (CNIE) with Tabanera at the helm en.wikipedia.org. Throughout the 1960s, CNIE and the Air Force’s research institute launched a series of indigenous multistage high-altitude rockets (Alfa Centauro, Beta Centauro, Orión, Canopus, etc.), successfully sending scientific payloads to the upper atmosphere en.wikipedia.org.
