'Successful [on-orbit test] demonstrates that all space vehicle performance requirements have been met and that we are on track for satellite control authority handover to Space Operations Command before the end of the year,' said Erik Daehler, director of Lockheed Martin's protected communications mission area, in a statement. 'This is a great accomplishment for the industry-government team, bringing incredible capability for our warfighters.'

Smultron 12 0 8 ft. The sixth AEHF completes a new constellation of protected, anti-jamming communications satellites built to replace the MILSTAR constellation. Each AEHF satellite has three times the capacity of the entire legacy system, with the entire AEHF constellation providing 10 times the throughput.

The system is designed for high-priority missions, including ensuring survivable, secure communications following a nuclear strike. AEHF will also serve U.S. international partners, including Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

AEHF-6 was launched March 26 from Cape Canaverla Air Force Station, Florida, as the Space Force's first mission launch. AEHF-5 was officially transferred to the Space Force in February.

  1. SPACE DEBRIS A FREQUENT TOPIC AT SATELLITE INNOVATION 2020 - Tracking and avoiding the growing debris field in low Earth orbit was clearly on the minds of speakers on the first day of the Satellite Innovation 2020 conference. 'Today, unfortunately, there is a lot of debris up there,' said Tony Gingiss, OneWeb Satellites CEO.

In March, the Space Force issued $685 million in contracts to Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Boeing to develop payloads for Protected Tactical SATCOM (PTS), its next generation anti-jamming satellite communications system.

If your satellite dish is aligned to satellite Eutelsat Hot Bird 13º East, you watch channels that are available via that satellite. If you want to watch channels on satellite Astra 2 28.2º East, you need to align your dish to satellite Astra 2 28.2º East, and perhaps a larger dish.

US ASTRONAUT VOTES EARLY FROM SPACE STATION - ASA astronaut Kate Rubins shared her voting selfie from orbit after stating before her launch earlier this month that she would cast her ballot from the International Space Station. Since 1997, as a concession to the fact that most NASA astronauts live near the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas has had an extreme absentee ballot procedure in place for anyone who finds themselves off Earth on Election Day.

SPACEX SCRUBS 15TH STARLINK MISSION - Just four days after the previous flight, SpaceX was ready to launch its third batch of Starlink satellites this month into orbit at 12:14 EDT (16:14 UTC) on Thursday, 22 October. However, an issue 13 minutes before liftoff forced a hold and scrub for the day. The v1.0 L14 mission — the 14th launch of operational satellites and 15th Starlink flight overall — will launch from pad SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. More

SOYUZ BRINGS THREE SPACE STATION FLIERS BACK TO EARTH - One week after two cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut arrived at the International Space Station, the three crew members they're replacing strapped into their own Soyuz spacecraft, undocked and returned to Earth Wednesday with a landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan to close out a 196-day mission. Descending under a huge orange-and-white parachute, the Soyuz crew module touched down at 10:54 p.m. EDT (8:54 a.m. Thursday local time), three-and-a-half hours after departing the lab complex. More

COMPANY ADVANCES PLAN FOR PRIVATE CITIZEN FLIGHT TO SPACE STATION - Houston-based Axiom Space is negotiating final details of a contract with NASA to fly a private citizen to the International Space Station in 2021. The company's CEO, Michael Suffredini, said the mission is fully funded, and not by governments. 'We're just about done with our contract with NASA, so we expect that to be complete here in the next two to three weeks,' Suffredini said last week during an online panel discussion sponsored by International Astronautical Congress.

SPACE-STATION CREW MEMBERS JUST FOUND AN ELUSIVE AIR LEAK BY WATCHING TEA LEAVES FLOAT IN MICROGRAVITY - The International Space Station has been leaking an unusual amount of air since September 2019. At first, crew members held off on troubleshooting the issue, since the leak wasn't major. But in August, the leak rate increased, prompting astronauts and cosmonauts on board the orbiting laboratory to start trying to locate its source in earnest. More

LEOLABS INDICATES NO COLLISION OF SOVIET SATELLITE AND CHINESE ROCKET STAGE - Most of the aerospace world watched the skies over Antarctica and New Zealand for portions of Thursday night/Friday morning. Earlier this week, LeoLabs Inc, a company that tracks objects in Low Earth Orbit, issued a statement regarding two large objects which posed a 'high risk' of collision at 00:56:40 UTC on 16 October 2020 (8:56:40 pm EDT on 15 October). Roughly one hour after the time of possible collision, LeoLabs confirmed 'No indication of collision' via a statement on Twitter. More

COSMONAUTS PATCH SMALL AIR LEAK ON INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION: REPORTS - Cosmonauts are making progress in the fight against the small air leak that has beleaguered the International Space Station for months, according to Russian reports. The leak was first detected in September 2019 but was too low a priority for NASA and Roscosmos to address until August of this year given the short staffing and high activity rates at the orbiting laboratory, according to a previous statement from the U.S. space agency.

TWO OLD SPACECRAFT JUST AVOIDED CATASTROPHICALLY COLLIDING IN ORBIT - About 1000 kilometres above Earth's surface, two old spacecraft have narrowly avoided a collision. If they had hit one another, the smash-up could have created a spray of debris that would be extremely dangerous for other satellites and could set off a chain reaction of collisions. The two objects are a Soviet Parus navigation satellite launched in 1989 and a Chinese rocket booster launched in 2009. Neither has any method of propulsion onboard, so there is no way to steer them away from one another. More

SPACEX TO LAUNCH SATELLITE TRACKING RISING SEA LEVELS - A new payload that Elon Musk's SpaceX will deliver into orbit next month will play a pivotal role in measuring sea level increases, potentially helping to spare economies from billions of euros in damages by the end of this century. The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite lifts off Nov. 10 aboard a Falcon 9 rocket that will be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Its mission will be to track how the accelerating rise of sea levels are changing coastlines, threatening the habitat of more than a third of the world's population. The European Space Agency will provide details about the mission on Friday at 4 p.m. in Paris. More
