U.S. Space Command will, for the first time, invite representatives from commercial space companies to take part in classified wargames focused on sensitive national security scenarios, underscoring the increased integration between military and commercial space infrastructure. A military exercise known as Southern Star integrates across space and cyber domains.

Luxembourg-based OQ Technology is preparing to deploy a small satellite to test using C-band to connect smartphones from low Earth orbit, joining SpaceX in a push to repurpose part of the spectrum for direct-to-device (D2D) services. OQ Technology said its demonstration proved its satellites can communicate directly with ordinary smartphones with no apps, upgrades or ground network, using a standard that's suitable for public safety.

THE BIGGEST FORBUSH DECREASE IN 20 YEARS: Solar storms are supposed to make radiation go up, right? A severe solar storm on June 1st did just the opposite. The Oulu Cosmic Ray Station in Finland registered the biggest drop in cosmic radiation in more than 20 years: This is called a "Forbush Decrease," named after American physicist Scott Forbush who studied cosmic rays in the early 20th century. It happens when a coronal mass ejection (CME) sweeps past Earth and pushes galactic cosmic rays away from our planet. On June 1, 2025, a fast-moving CME crossed Earth's orbit and thinned our planet's radiation environment. Cosmic ray fluxes dropped as much as 25%. To find another Forbush Decrease this deep, you have to go all the way back to October 30, 2003, when CMEs related to the famous Halloween Storms were pummeling Earth.
