The world of air and space is expanding fast, and the legal frameworks that govern it need to keep up. The University of Mississippi School of Law is launching the nation’s first fully online Master of Science in Air and Space Law, designed to train professionals to navigate the complex legal and regulatory landscape of aviation, drones, and space operations.

I had the chance to speak with the person at the helm, Michele Hanlon who is executive director of the university’s Center for Air and Space Law.

Space may finally be getting its energy revolution. Star Catcher Industries, the company building the first orbital power grid, just set a new world record for wireless optical power transmission — surpassing DARPA’s benchmark — by delivering more than 1.1 kilowatts of energy to standard solar panels at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Andrew Rush, CEO and co-founder of Star Catcher, to explain how their technology could “supercharge” satellites, power lunar vehicles, and transform the way spacecraft generate and use energy in orbit.

Satellites quietly power so much of modern life — from the way we communicate to how our food is grown — yet most of us rarely think about how vulnerable they can be. As more satellites crowd into orbit, the risks are rising.

Deloitte has introduced Silent Shield, a new system designed to spot cyber intrusions and anomalies in near real time. It’s already been tested aboard the “Deloitte-1” satellite launched earlier this year.

I recently got the chance to talk to Ryan Roberts, a cyber leader in Deloitte’s Space practice, to talk about why securing space infrastructure is becoming critical and how Silent Shield aims to protect the services we rely on every day.
