Last update: 2 hours agoSpace Weather Breakthrough: The ESA–China SMILE satellite has successfully launched from Kourou on a Vega-C, starting a mission to deliver the first global X-ray “movie” of Earth’s magnetic shield as solar storms hit—using a Soft X-ray Imager plus ultraviolet aurora monitoring for up to 45 hours. Local Tech Supply Chain: Teledyne Space Imaging’s CCD370 sensors are at the heart of SMILE’s Soft X-ray Imager, turning low-energy X-ray light into maps of the solar wind–magnetosphere boundary. Cultural Justice in Tech Policy: France is moving to repatriate the remains of six Kalina Indigenous people from colonial “human zoo” displays, with the Senate approving a law to return them to French Guiana for burial. Space Industry Watch: Avio and Vega-C marked another milestone with SMILE’s flight, while Europe’s broader launch race continues with Isar Aerospace pushing toward its first orbital attempt from European soil. Health & Biosecurity: New Mexico launched a state-run screwworm preparedness site after renewed global attention on the “man-eater” fly.
