The find adds fresh pressure on planet-formation and atmospheric-inflation models, and sets up prime targets for future Webb follow-up. Rocket Lab launches SAR imaging - Rocket Lab’s Electron is set to launch the “Ten Owl of Ten” mission, adding a Synspective Strix synthetic-aperture radar satellite to orbit. SAR imaging boosts disaster response and infrastructure monitoring because it can see through clouds and at night. Exploding rocket bodies worsen debris - A new brief highlights multiple in-orbit breakups of Chinese rocket bodies, producing long-lived debris that can persist for decades at higher altitudes. The story underscores how leftover upper stages can become fragmentation hazards for everyone operating in LEO.
