National Security Space Association (NSSA) member, Firefly Aerospace, has completed its first lunar lander and shipped the spacecraft to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for testing ahead of a launch late this year. The company announced Aug. 26 that its Blue Ghost lander is now at JPL for vibration, acoustic, thermal vacuum and electromagnetic interference and compatibility tests, intended to confirm that the lander operates as expected in the space environment and can survive the rigors of launch. “Firefly is proud to follow in the footsteps of the Surveyor landers that were tested in the same JPL facilities,” Peter Schumacher, interim chief executive of Firefly Aerospace, said in a statement, referring to the 1960s-era NASA robotic lunar landers. “The extensive environmental testing we’ll complete at JPL combined with the robust testing we’ve already completed in house will further reduce our risk posture and set us up for a successful soft landing.” Read more from SpaceNews https://lnkd.in/gCf2KNRZ

National Security Decisions for the Next President The next President of the United States will face an extraordinarily complex and dangerous international security environment which could rapidly deteriorate. America now confronts an unprecedented array of national, functional, and transnational threats. In particular, the United States is engaged in a geostrategic contest with a new entente of Axis powers. Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are led by autocratic regimes with revisionist or irredentist political aims to change the international system at the expense of U.S. interests.

The UK has sent its first military spy satellite into space to capture daytime images and videos of the Earth’s surface. The satellite, known as Tyche, is the lead system from the wider £968 million ($1.2 billion) ISTARI programme, aimed at delivering a multi-satellite Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) constellation, together with future ground systems, by 2031. The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) noted in a Saturday statement that Tyche will also contribute to natural disaster surveillance, environmental monitoring and climate change impact tracking. Tyche was launched from a reusable SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, out of Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., as part of the company’s Transporter 11 mission.
