Lufthansa Group announced that it will equip its entire fleet with Starlink satellite internet, with the first aircraft being an Airbus A320neo on medium-haul routes and the service is set to launch on Wednesday. n-tv ↗

The new connection is intended to improve onboard internet for streaming, work, and regular web browsing. According to available reports, the modernization is expected to gradually include Austrian Airlines aircraft as well. Starlink is thus expanding its use in aviation at a time when it remains SpaceX's only profitable segment. hnonline.sk ↗

Development of the Falcon 9 rocket's upper stage continues, which on August 5, 2026, impacted the Moon after approximately eighteen months of uncontrolled movement between Earth and the Moon. Images from the South Korean Danuri probe showed the impact site and built upon previous confirmations from the European Southern Observatory, which captured signals of the material cloud from the impact. novinky.cz ↗

Ukrainian intelligence meanwhile warns that Moscow is, according to them, accelerating construction of its own satellite internet service similar to Starlink and could place nearly 300 satellites into orbit within a year. Such a system could also have significance for the war in Ukraine.

Financial pressure on SpaceX persists following the publication of quarterly results, which showed significant revenue growth but also losses and high investments. Further developments will show whether the company can maintain the pace of Starlink expansion amid growing space debris control, competition, and costly technological projects. dennikn.sk ↗
