| BlackSky
is in the midst of rolling out its new Gen-3 satellites. After two
launches, the company is demonstrating 35-centimeter very high
resolution imagery, while ramping up the cadence of collection. Via Satellite interviewed COO Nick Merski about the Gen-3 rollout, how the satellites are supporting new use cases for its customers with greater nuance in observation, and how AI underpins both the company’s analytics products and its workflows. |

Hello from the FT newsroom, where we are closely monitoring Gaza’s descent into mass starvation. After months of warnings that Israeli aid
restrictions were tipping the enclave into full-blown famine, local health
officials are now reporting dozens of deaths — nearly 60 in July alone — from
starvation and malnutrition.
In a rare rebuke to Benjamin Netanyahu —
who had earlier dismissed famine reports as “a boldfaced lie” — Donald Trump
acknowledged on Monday that “real starvation” was under way in Gaza. The US
president’s own ambitions for the region, combined with growing unease among
parts of his base, have created potential flashpoints in his relationship with the Israeli leader.
As the FT’s editorial board wrote, the world is failing the Palestinian people. Israel’s western allies must pressure Netanyahu to
stop its nearly 22-month offensive. Yesterday, Canada joined the UK and France
in plans to formally recognise a Palestinian state. But it is the Trump
administration that has the most leverage.

Denne er observert på Sola av flyspottere der. Typen skal visstnok, i regi av Bristow, testes mellom Sola og Bergen. Der har man Haugesund og Stord lufthavner i mellom just in case.... Men også disse må ha en infrastruktur som kan ta vare på landinger/besøk av flyet.

Som presentert her i går, en 3-dagers høring er i gang. Det Cruz neppe vil snakke om er Trumps hysteri mot transer hvorav mange mistet jobbene sine innen ATC. (Red.)
Senator Cruz Introduces Legislation To Ad
dress Aviation Safety
New law would require military flights to use ADS-B technology in selected airspace.
Key Takeaways:
U. S. Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced legislation yesterday meant to address factors that led to the fatal Jan. 29 midair collision on the approach path to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) between an American Airlines passenger jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter. Pivotal to the new legislation would be a mandate that military aircraft operating near certain airports would be required to have and use operable Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipment. The helicopter involved in the January 29 collision, which killed all 67 people on board both aircraft, was almost certainly not broadcasting ADS-B data.
Cruz, who serves as chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, said, “We should not tolerate special exceptions for military training flights operating in congested airspace. No matter the circumstances, any aircraft flying near commercial traffic must fully adhere to safety standards.”
Along with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) chair Jennifer Homendy was with Sen. Cruz at the Tuesday press conference. She called ADS-B technology a safety “game changer for aviation,” adding that the NTSB has been promoting it for two decades. Duffy said that while Cruz’s proposed legislation might require “a few tweaks,” it was essentially on target.
The NTSB opened three days of hearings today focused on the Jan. 29 collision and wider concerns over runway incursions and other air traffic control close calls over the past several months.
