+ Amazon is rebranding its “Project Kuiper†constellation of satellites in
low Earth orbit. The program will now be known as “Amazon Leo.†There are
now 153 Kuiper satellites satellites in orbit, intended to provide
high-speed internet connections worldwide. (ANS thanks Amazon for the above

+ LambdaVision, a biotech company, has flown nine missions to the ISS,
where it produced a 200-layer protein thin film as a precursor to an
artificial retina implants. Most recently, the company won a NASA Phase 2
In Space Production Applications award in September to continue developing
the companyâ€Ös in-space manufacturing process â€ö in this case, in partnership
with microgravity research firm Space Tango. (ANS thanks PayloadSpace.com

+ Three Chinese astronauts returned from their nationâ€Ös space station
Friday after more than a weekâ€Ös delay because the return capsule they had
planned to use was damaged, likely from being hit by space debris. The team
left their Shenzhou-20 spacecraft in orbit and came back using the recently
arrived Shenzhou-21, which had ferried a three-person replacement crew to
the station, Chinaâ€Ös Manned Space Agency said. The original return plan was
scrapped because a window in the Shenzhou-20 capsule had tiny cracks, most
likely caused by impact from space debris, the space agency said Friday.

+ SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink broadband satellites November
10 on a Falcon 9 rocket. It was the 94th orbital mission so far this year
from Cape Kennedy, breaking 2024â€Ös record of 93 launches. A SpaceX
executive said at a conference recently that he expected the company to
finish the year with 165 to 170 Falcon 9 launches, which would also be a
record. The total number of Starlink satellites launched so far in 2025 is
2,600. And the yearâ€Ös not over yet. (ANS thanks SpaceNews Editorâ€Ös Choice
