We just filed a formal Reply Comment with the FCC opposing Cowboy Space’s massive 20,000-satellite data center constellation. Instead of addressing the scientific and technical concerns we presented, Cowboy Space relied almost entirely on procedural deflections.

We won't let orbital greenwashing go unchallenged.

"If all satellites in orbit suddenly lost the ability to manoeuvre and control their orientation, how long would it take for two to come close enough to crash? In 2018, before megaconstellations began launching, the CRASH Clock value was 164 days. It has been steadily dropping since then. Our new research finds that as of May 2026, it is at 2.5 days."

Space exploration does not have to follow the logic of colonialism.
Although this event was already on June 19th, I want to highlight the important work from this multidisciplinary initiative.

Final day of the ESA RAMS conference at ESTEC in Noordwijk/NL. 💪 I already learned a lot, like on recent advancements on the calculation of the probability of successful disposal (PSD) of space objects. 🛰️🚀 Today, ESA astronaut Samantha Christoforetti 👩‍🚀 will give a keynote.

And it was a great opportunity to exchange with other RAMS experts from all around the world! 🌍

Today, marks the final day of the 63rd session of UNCOPUOS Scientific and Technical Subcommittee in Vienna. This time, I joined the German delegation as an expert for space sustainability and had the pleasure to give a statement on the latest activities at @DLR Space Agency wrt. Dark and Quiet Skies.

🌌 Above us, an invisible constellation grows. Not of stars, but of our own making: fragments racing through the dark at unfathomable speeds, each piece a ghost of ambition turned hazard.

✍️ Explore the cascade we cannot see 🛰️: https://TPC8.short.gy/IZaOxCi5

💫 What we send skyward returns as legacy, sometimes circling for decades or longer in silent judgment.
