AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Space Launch: SMILE is now in orbit after a Vega-C rocket lifted off from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, starting a joint ESA–China mission to “photograph” Earth’s magnetic shield in X-ray light and track auroras in ultraviolet for up to 45 hours. Mission Check: ESA says solar panels deployed successfully and the first signal was received from the New Norcia ground station in Australia, with the spacecraft set to reach its highly elliptical science orbit over the coming month. Tech Pressure: In parallel, the AI hardware boom is feeling the Iran-war squeeze, with companies warning of higher costs and supply-chain strain for key materials used in chipmaking. Local Context: For Guyana and the wider region, underexplored gold remains a draw for investors, while leaders from Guyana and Suriname are pushing a three-month plan to settle issues around the Corentyne River and fisheries. Next Up: China’s Zenk Space also raised $26m ahead of its June Zhihang-1 debut launch.
