NATO is revamping its aerial surveillance capabilities in response to the effectiveness of low-altitude drones and missiles, as highlighted by Adm. Pierre Vandier. The Allied Federated Surveillance & Control (AFSC) program aims to replace aging Boeing E-3A AWACS with a multi-domain surveillance network. A subgroup of 10 member states is set to procure new airborne early warning platforms by 2026.

Astroscale is transforming space sustainability into a commercial reality, addressing the challenge of thousands of tons of debris in orbit. The company is actively developing solutions to mitigate space debris, enhancing the long-term viability of orbital operations. This initiative is crucial as the increasing congestion in space poses significant risks to satellites and other space assets.

ISRO's annual Space Situational Report reveals that in 2025, the agency conducted 20 maneuvers to prevent collisions in space. This included 4 collision avoidance maneuvers for GEO satellites and 14 for LEO satellites, including one for NISAR. Additionally, ISRO shifted the orbit of Chandayaan-2 twice due to conflicts with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Astroscale's ISSA-J1 mission, set for 2027, aims to inspect two defunct Japanese satellites, ALOS and ADEOS-II, in different orbits. Weighing 650 kg, ISSA-J1 will utilize thrusters and imaging systems for detailed inspections. This mission follows the successful ADRAS-J mission, enhancing Japan's space situational awareness and in-orbit servicing capabilities, as stated by Nobu Okada.

MDA Space awarded a $32 million contract for the Surveillance of Space 2 (SofS 2) program, selecting Spaceflux as the optical systems provider. This initiative involves the establishment of three new ground-based observatories aimed at enhancing Canada's space surveillance capabilities. The collaboration underscores the growing importance of international partnerships in space situational awareness efforts.

MDA Space selected Spaceflux to deliver three ground-based telescope observatories in Alberta, Manitoba, and New Brunswick by 2028. This initiative supports the Canadian Armed Forces under the “Surveillance of Space 2” program, enhancing capabilities for space situational awareness and tracking. The collaboration aims to bolster Canada’s defense against potential space threats and improve surveillance operations.

MDA Space unveiled MDA MIDNIGHT, a space control platform tailored for defense organizations, at the 41st Space Symposium. This platform aims to enhance the protection of critical assets within the space domain, addressing growing security concerns. The initiative reflects MDA's commitment to advancing capabilities in space situational awareness and defense technology for governmental clients.
