Below are the latest findings with their outlet and date, and the companies they name.
CNES announced on 29 October 2026 that ground qualification testing had started at the Guiana Space Centre. A full-scale Callisto mockup was erected at the centre’s former Diamant launch facility, which is being redeveloped for the programme.
European Spaceflight · CALLISTOWith its solar arrays integrated, CRISTAL is transitioning from assembly to qualification reviews and testing to demonstrate readiness for launch and orbital operations.
ESA Top NewsThe RHFLVDS42 supports data rates up to 600 Mbps and operates from 2.3–3.6 V, complying with TIA/EIA-644 and JEDEC low-voltage logic and power-supply specifications while remaining compatible with existing CMOS designs. It offers a -4 V to +5 V input common-mode range, a 4.8 V absolute maximum rating, and radiation and ESD tolerance, including heavy-ion tolerance up to 122.6 MeV·cm²/mg.
ZDNet Korea · STMicroelectronicsThe Spanish company is producing two qualification articles and one flight model of its two-stage Miura-5 launcher. PLD Space plans to use the flight model for the first Miura-5 launch from its facility in Kourou, French Guiana, in the first half of 2027; the rocket uses five Teprel-C engines.
Raumfahrer.net · PLD SpaceThe Spanish startup is producing two qualification articles and one flight model of its two-stage Miura-5 rocket. PLD Space intends to conduct the first launch from its Kourou launch site in French Guiana during the first half of 2027; the vehicle is designed with five Teprel-C engines.
Raumfahrer.net · PLD SpaceThe RHFLVDS42 supports data rates up to 600 Mbps, radiation resistance up to 300 krad(Si), and 8 kV ESD immunity.
Power Electronics News · STMicroelectronicsPolish company Scanway signed an agreement with a European space-sector entity to develop and deliver 14 flight-qualified optical telescope models for orbital security applications.
Space24 · ScanwayNovigrad, a Canadian startup, has successfully completed space qualification testing for radiation-hardened electronics, addressing growing demand from the increasing wave of space missions. The qualification enables faster and more accessible testing to ensure electronic components can withstand space radiation environments.
EE TimesOn 9 September 2026, Isar Aerospace’s Spectrum rocket launched from Andøya Spaceport in Norway and successfully reached low Earth orbit. The qualification flight completed MaxQ, main-engine cutoff, stage separation, second-stage ignition, fairing jettison, orbital circularization and spacecraft separation.
Electronics Weekly · Isar AerospaceThe Space Force tripled the Lane 1 ceiling to $17 billion in July and expanded the program to roughly 170 expected missions, increasing the potential market available to qualified launch providers.
Payload · Stoke SpaceThe testing concluded in June at Stoke Space’s Moses Lake, Washington, facility, which the company is expanding sevenfold to 550 acres.
Payload · Stoke Space“Orbit Fab’s GRIP tests and RAFTI qualification milestones show the care that our engineering team has for our refueling customers. Refueling allows a spacecraft to be agile and flexible during operations and adds mobility options for the satellite operator” explained Adam Harris, Orbit Fab’s Chief Commercial Officer. “RAFTI refueling ports are flight qualified and for $30,000 can replace a spacecraft fill and drain
