LEO test sats co-planar with Starlink/Kuiper

China has docked an uncrewed Shenzhou spacecraft with Tiangong Space Station which will return the crew currently on orbit in April 2026. NASA has reduced the number of astronaut missions on Boeing's Starliner contract and said the spacecraft's next mission to the International Space Station (ISS) will fly without a crew. The US Space Force (USSF) has awarded multiple small contracts to develop prototypes for space-based interceptors, and more.
