Op-ed | Running the Space Playbook in Chile - SpaceNews
Some of the most important science in the field of astronomy has been possible because of Chile, from studying black holes to tracking the debris trail left after NASA's DART spacecraft when it slammed into the asteroid Didymos.
But Chile's future in space is not just relegated to looking up (through observatories often run by foreign space organizations). While its astronomy sector is mature, there is a fast-moving effort to strategically build other components of the country's space ecosystem.
Defense Innovation Unit seeks commercial options to deploy satellites in deep space - SpaceNews
WASHINGTON — The Defense Innovation Unit is seeking proposals for commercial services to deploy and operate payloads in outer space beyond Earth orbit, an area known as cislunar space.
DIU, a Defense Department agency created to bring commercially developed technology into military programs, is looking for "responsive access" to the vast region of space that begins at geosynchronous Earth orbit and extends out to the Earth-moon Lagrange point on the far side of the moon.
