(pdf)<\/a> &#8211;<br \/>\n&#8220;<em>The estimated 2,200 active satellites now in space generate immense quantities of data that support earthly infrastructure, economies, and national security systems. With the help of space-based services, utility companies synchronize energy flows across the grid, stock market exchanges record transactions, oceanographers track endangered whales, scientists monitor the climate, and farmers increase crop yields. Communications satellites let air traffic controllers manage planes in crowded airspace, remote-sensing satellites reveal what is happening on Earth\u2019s surface in near realtime, and weather satellites give us a better chance of having an umbrella when we need it. Satellites also allow you to check delivery of the gift you ordered online, reset your home thermostat from the office, talk with family overseas, avoid traffic jams, maybe even find true love.<\/em>&#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>International space<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Canada:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spaceq.ca\/are-the-artemis-accords-the-path-forward\/\">Are the Artemis Accords the path forward? &#8211; SpaceQ<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>China:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abacusnews.com\/tech\/does-elon-musks-dream-satellite-internet-all-matter-anyone-china\/article\/3084845\">Does Elon Musk\u2019s dream of satellite internet for all matter to anyone in China? &#8211; Experts say that even if China did let the SpaceX internet service Starlink operate in the country, which is unlikely, it would still be censored | Abacus<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinadaily.com.cn\/a\/202005\/18\/WS5ec2811ba310a8b241156906.html\">Beidou navigation system plays major role in many Chinese products &#8211; Chinadaily.com.cn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecns.cn\/news\/sci-tech\/2020-05-20\/detail-ifzwknkv0966247.shtml\">Largest satellite completes testing &#8211; ecns.cn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinadaily.com.cn\/a\/202005\/20\/WS5ec4c2ada310a8b2411570fa.html\">Chinese tracking vessel Yuanwang 6 sails to Pacific Ocean for multiple monitoring missions &#8211; Chinadaily.com.cn<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Europe:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spacewatch.global\/2020\/05\/esa-gives-updates-about-exomars-rover-upgrades-and-parachute-tests\/\">ESA Gives Updates About ExoMars Rover Upgrades And Parachute Tests &#8211; SpaceWatch.Global<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>France:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spacewatch.global\/2020\/05\/france-delivers-nisp-instrument-for-europes-euclid-space-mission\/\">France Delivers NISP Instrument For Europe&#8217;s Euclid Space Mission &#8211; SpaceWatch.Global<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>India:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindubusinessline.com\/news\/science\/why-india-should-exit-the-moon-agreement\/article31634373.ece\">Why India should exit the Moon Agreement &#8211; The Hindu BusinessLine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outlookindia.com\/newsscroll\/indian-space-sector-reforms-will-it-be-a-big-bang-approach\/1839320\">Indian space sector reforms: Will it be a big bang approach? &#8211; OutlookIndia.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/sci-tech\/technology\/gaganyaan-trainees-back-at-astronaut-classes-in-moscow\/article31645731.ece\">Gaganyaan trainees back at astronaut classes in Moscow &#8211; The Hindu<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Japan:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spacewatch.global\/2020\/05\/japan-stands-up-its-first-military-space-operations-squadron\/\">Japan Stands Up Its First Military Space Operations Squadron &#8211; SpaceWatch.Global<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spacewatch.global\/2020\/05\/spacewatchgl-opinion-japans-new-space-domain-mission-unit-and-security-in-the-indo-pacific-region\/\">#SpaceWatchGL Opinion: Japan\u2019s New Space Domain Mission Unit And Security In The Indo-Pacific Region &#8211; SpaceWatch.Global<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Norway:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsinenglish.no\/2020\/05\/21\/new-spaceport-wins-funding\/\">New \u2018spaceport\u2019 wins funding &#8211; NewsInEnglish.no<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highnorthnews.com\/en\/parliamentary-committee-supports-andoya-spaceport-fantastic-news\">Parliamentary Committee Supports And\u00f8ya Spaceport: \u201cFantastic News\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Russia:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tass.com\/science\/1159185\">Soyuz-2.1b rocket with military satellite takes off from Plesetsk Cosmodrome &#8211; TASS<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spacewatch.global\/2020\/05\/lunapolitics-russias-roscosmos-signals-openness-to-us-proposed-artemis-accords\/\">Lunapolitics: Russia&#8217;s Roscosmos Signals Openness To US-Proposed Artemis Accords &#8211; SpaceWatch.Global<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tass.com\/science\/1157975\">Russia starts work on conceptual design of next-generation satellite communications system &#8211; TASS<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Rwanda:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newtimes.co.rw\/news\/rwanda-space-agency-be-operational-july\">Rwanda Space Agency to be operational in July &#8211; Rwanda<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Webcasts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>** <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thespaceshow.com\/show\/20-may-2020\/broadcast-3513-hotel-mars-bill-harwood\"> Hotel Mars\/The Space Show &#8211; Wed.
