Space Compass and SWISSto12 executed a procurement contract for the first commercial GEO optical data relay satellite using the HummingSat platform. This enables real-time Earth observation data relay from LEO to GEO.

Polish propulsion startup Liftero secured a contract to supply two multi-thruster BOOSTER green chemical propulsion systems to Indian in-orbit servicing company OrbitAID. The systems will enable 6-DOF maneuvering, proximity operations, docking, and life-extension on the upcoming mission.

Satlyt signed a commercial license agreement with The Aerospace Corporation to integrate its edge-computing framework with the NASA-backed DiskSat platform. DiskSat is a flat-panel satellite form factor designed for dense LEO constellations. The deal enables real-time autonomy, in-orbit data processing, and distributed satellite coordination — core infrastructure for Satlyt's Virtual AI Data Center concept.

TARAN Aerospace met and formalized partnerships with Etanox AG (propulsion), Protostar Labs (onboard computing/optical payloads), and impulso.space (launch services) at Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen. The four companies now form a complete small-sat supply chain from mechanisms to launch.

After an earlier Electron failure, Capella shifted Acadia-4 to SpaceX’s new mid-inclination Bandwagon rideshare, pairing it with Acadia-5 on a Transporter mission to diversify orbital planes.
