  1. Canada Updates Space Launch and Re-Entry Regulations in Canada Space Launch Act.

    New regulations have strict de-orbiting mandates for controlled re-entries for non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) within five years after operational life.

    Includes potential liability for debris affecting Canadian airspace, and Operators must submit debris mitigation plans, register for space situational awareness, and prove compliance. satnews.com/2026/04/29/canada- #Canada #Space #SpaceLaunchAct #Satellites #SpaceCraft #Re_Entry #De_Orbit #SpaceJunk #SpaceDebris #Liability #LowEarthOrbit #NGSO

  2. #SpaceX acquires #xAI, plans to launch a massive #SatelliteConstellation to power it

    “This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI’s mission.”

    Eric Berger – Feb 2, 2026

    "SpaceX has formally acquired another one of Elon Musk’s companies, xAi, the space company announced on Monday afternoon.

    “SpaceX has acquired xAI to form the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth, with AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications and the world’s foremost real-time information and free speech platform,' the company said. 'This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI’s mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars!' [How much Special-K did you take, dude?]

    "The merging of what is arguably Musk’s most successful company, SpaceX, with the more speculative xAI venture is a risk. Founded in 2023, xAI’s main products are the generative AI chatbot Grok and the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter. The company aims to compete with OpenAI and other artificial intelligence firms. However, Grok has been controversial, including the sexualization of women and children through AI-generated images, as has Musk’s management of Twitter."

  4. As early as this year, four adventurers will head into space and fly in a #polar orbit, says #SpaceX in a press release.

    Never before has a spaceflight over the Earth's poles been conducted with humans, according to the American space company.

    The commercial astronaut mission has been named #Fram2, after the polar ship used by Norwegian explorers for expeditions in the #Arctic and #Antarctica.

    It is funded and will be led by Chun Wang, a Chinese crypto entrepreneur based in Malta.

    Among those joining the journey is Norwegian Jannicke Mikkelsen, becoming Norway's first female #astronaut. Mikkelsen lives in Longyearbyen on #Svalbard, where she works as a filmmaker and freelance journalist.
