We are cutting through the orbital debris for you. In other words, we’re keeping an eye on space news on the web so you don’t have to.
Here is our round-up of the most important, and interesting, space news stories of August (space orders can be found in another post):

Things going wrong

Human Spaceflight

Spaceports:

  • Amazon will spend US$19.5 million on expanding its satellite processing facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The hope is that it will significantly expedite satellite deployments, but the clock is already ticking. The company needs to deploy half of its planned 3,200 Project Kuiper broadband constellation by July 2026, to meet a regulatory deadline.
  • Space engineering firm NordSpace is putting $5 million towards the build of Canada’s first spaceport. However, where it will be located is yet to be decided.

Space companies and money

Companies/Money:

Mergers & acquisitions 

C-suite moves

Cutbacks

  • Northrop Grumman is about to lay off 550 full-time employees working at its space business facilities in California.
  • Rocket developer ABL Space Systems, which lost one of its rockets in a static-fire test last month, has also made cutbacks to its workforce.
  • SES is looking to cut costs too. CEO Adel Al-Saleh said the company would look for ways to mitigate the loss of revenue to its video business, after a Brazilian customer went bankrupt.
