give me a space brief

Sources scanned for today’s brief — so you don’t have to.

Using a curated source list as a baseline, a custom Spaceagent goes beyond fixed keywords, automatically scanning press and info channels of relevant space actors and policymakers. I fact-check, condense, and deliver the key points with direct links.
