On November 9, 2026, Ukraine's parliament proposed a law to establish Space Forces as a new military branch. Ukraine is developing an independent satellite communication system, while Russia enhances its Rassvet satellite network for military communications. The Ukrainian project includes a national missile early warning system and aims to create a sovereign communication network due to reliability issues with Starlink. Ukraine's Himera successfully launched its first test satellite, OBRIA NANO, and plans to expand its satellite network. Meanwhile, Russia has launched over 30 Rassvet satellites but faces technical challenges. Both nations are enhancing their satellite capabilities amid ongoing military conflicts.
