Voyager Palantir Partner on Military Satellite Sensors, Deep Blue Aerospace Secures Funding for Reusable Rockets, and ESA's Biomass Satellite Ready for Launch

Voyager Technologies and Palantir Technologies are expanding their collaboration to develop advanced sensor systems for U.S. military satellites, focusing on space domain awareness. The system will integrate Palantir's AI with Voyager's hardware to process radio frequency and imagery data for tracking objects in orbit. This follows Starlab Space naming Palantir as its exclusive software data management supplier. Deep Blue Aerospace secured $68.9 million in funding for its Nebula series of reusable launch vehicles, targeting a mid-2025 orbital launch and recovery attempt. The Nebula-1 rocket, using kerosene-liquid oxygen, aims to carry 2,000 kg to LEO. The company plans to launch the larger Nebula-2 in 2026, capable of carrying over 25,000 kg to LEO. Deep Blue is also developing suborbital tourism services, aiming for flights in 2027. ESA's Biomass satellite, developed by Airbus, is ready for launch. It will accurately assess forest carbon stocks and fluxes, improving understanding of forest changes and the carbon cycle. The satellite features a large wire-mesh antenna developed by L3 Harris.
