Happy Monday, space fans
I hope that you had a frighteningly perfect Halloween weekend. Kicking things off with a whole new month, we are starting with a dive into SpaceX's Starshield military satellite network. How is it different from Starlink? What are they up to in orbit? We've got an up-to-date breakdown. Speaking of satellites, today Rocket Lab launched a Japanese Earth-observing mission known as "The Sea God Surveys." And what come up (sometimes) must come down and NASA's Swift space telescope is about to crash back to Earth. Where will it land? We've got the intel.
Check out what's big in space below:

It's unclear at the moment exactly when and where the Swift observatory will plunge to Earth. But researchers definitely have their eyes peeled.

Rocket Lab will launch its 99th mission to date today (Nov. 2), sending a private Japanese Earth-observing satellite to orbit. Here's how to watch live.

And that's it for our space update today.
I hope that your Halloween weekend was equal parts fun and spooky. Did you dress up like your favorite astronaut or sci-fi hero? Did you carve a planet into a pumpkin? Did you put up alien invasion decorations? If so, we'd love to see how you got space-y this Halloween! And now that we are into November, we have a lot of fun new space news on the horizon.
This upcoming weekend, NASA will host MAX Power, the agency's brand new air show at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. And Space.com will be on the scene reporting live to see how the agency celebrates as they ramp up for the next Artemis mission. And a little farther into the future, within the coming weeks we expect SpaceX to launch their 15th test flight with Starship. This critical test flight will hopefully see the vehicle a little better prepared for the work it has ahead of it with Artemis 3.
