Good morning,

Europe is stepping up its industrial autonomy: Aerospacelab just secured €37.5M in EIB-backed venture debt to accelerate modular satellite production, part of the EU’s €70B TechEU plan to back homegrown space champions.

Meanwhile in the U.S., Boeing’s new partnership with Palantir shows how aerospace primes are leaning on outside AI expertise to transform production lines and defense programs. And NASA has turned to startup Katalyst Space Tech for a daring orbital boost of the Swift Observatory, a first-of-its-kind commercial servicing mission that could set the stage for future Moon and Mars operations.
