China litters LEO.

US Space Command has confirmed that China’s Long March 6A rocket upper stage broke apart after delivering satellites to LEO, creating a cloud of debris. Eutelsat and Rocket lab report positive financial updates. NASA’s Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) team commanded the spacecraft to turn its transmitter off for the last time on Thursday, concluding more than 10 years of its planetary defense mission, and more.
