"Neuraspace Launches Free Space Traffic Management Service"

Portuguese startup Neuraspace has launched a free version of its space traffic management platform, providing real-time satellite position data and conjunction alerts to operators in an effort to promote collaboration and transparency in crowded orbits. The platform, called SYNC, offers a chat room for operators to discuss collision risk and is already being used by operators responsible for over 250 satellites. Neuraspace also offers a premium version with collision avoidance maneuver suggestions and more powerful analysis tools, aiming to streamline workflows and minimize disruption risks for operators while seeking customers in satellite manufacturing and insurance markets.

"Global Satellite-to-Smartphone Coverage Approved by FCC for 2025 Access"

The FCC has approved a regulatory framework allowing satellite operators like SpaceX to use radio waves from terrestrial mobile partners to keep smartphone users connected outside cell tower coverage. This framework, known as Supplemental Coverage from Space (SCS), would operate as a secondary service to companies providing Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). The approval is expected to enable new services without the need for additional spectrum or device generations, and it could potentially end dead zones and provide backup connectivity in the event of disasters. Other countries are closely watching the U.S. to inform their own rules for allowing satellites to use spectrum from terrestrial partners.

Analyzing the Economic Impact of Removing Space Debris.

A NASA study has found that some methods of removing orbital debris could pay for themselves within a decade by reducing the costs and risks borne by satellite operators. The most effective approaches involved ground- and space-based lasers to remove large amounts of small debris between 1 and 10 centimeters across. The study also found that the relatively small costs that debris imposes on satellite operators today, estimated at $58 million a year, mean that the risk to satellite operators need not increase at the same rate as orbital debris increases.
