Falcon 9 Sales Freeze Anxiety and Our Launch Ramp Forecast Model for New Rockets
Hundreds of space companies we have all grown to know and love were founded—and raised billions of dollars—on the assumption that SpaceX had solved launch with Falcon 9, all but guaranteeing reliable, predictable access to orbit. But that premise is now on shaky grounds, turning the future of many satellite businesses into an existential question.
Breaking Down the FCC’s 3rd Processing Round: 13 Constellations Throw Their Hats in the Ring
The FCC’s latest processing round has attracted proposals spanning nearly 140,000 satellites from 13 constellations, kicking off the next battle for valuable satellite spectrum. While many of these constellations may never launch, the filing deadline determines who gains a critical regulatory advantage for years to come.
Optical Links: When to Incorporate Them? When Not To?
For many satellite applications, optical links are not worth their cost (often hundreds of thousands of dollars).

We cover terrestrial bottlenecks, cost analysis, the competitive landscape, and technical challenges.
Technical Challenges in Scaling Orbital Data Centers
The technical challenges to orbital data centers are well understood, and boil down to the following:
Inside Starcloud and SpaceX’s Orbital Data Centers FCC Filings
After only a two months of 2026, this year is already shaping up to be the year of space data centers. In January, SpaceX filed with the FCC for up to 1M satellites (wild). A few days later, Starcloud followed with plans for 88,000 satellites of its own.

What’s Kepler Cooking Up With Its Everything Constellation?
Earlier this week, Kepler (an optical comms relay business) launched its first ten 300-kg sats and announced a deal with OroraTech, to host its thermal sensors and speed up downlink via its laser-linked routing.
The MSS Spectrum Assets That Could Be Acquired Next
Some of that spectrum still sits in legacy hands, ripe for acquisition.
