🚨 Security Update: Earlier today, a compromised internal key affected our retired Galxe SpaceStation V2 contracts. NO user wallets or funds were affected. Even if you connected to these contracts in the past, your wallet is completely safe. The issue was strictly isolated to the contracts. We identified the root cause and are updating our security controls. We will share a full report once the investigation is done.

#Tech# The Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE), a joint mission between the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the European Space Agency (ESA), was successfully launched Tuesday aboard a Vega-C rocket from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana.

This National Police Week, we’re proud to recognize Kennedy Space Center’s Office of Protective Services. Every day, OPS helps safeguard the spaceport, our astronauts, our visitors, and the unique mini‑city that keeps space exploration moving forward. Thank you for all you do to keep Kennedy safe!

We’ve received approval to develop Space Launch Complex-37 for Starship operations at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Construction has started. With three launch pads in Florida, Starship will be ready to support America’s national security and Artemis goals as the world’s premiere spaceport continues to evolve to enable airport-like operations. We’d like to thank the Department of the Air Force (@usairforce), 45th Space Force (@SLDelta45), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife (@USFWS) for their effort on the environmental review
