Welcome to this special Thanksgiving edition of The Intelligence Brief… This week, after months of disruption from the historic 2025 government shutdown, NASA is heading into the holiday season with long-awaited good news: the agency’s next flagship observatory, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, has successfully cleared a critical battery of environmental tests. In our analysis, we’ll be looking at 1) how Roman’s acoustic, vibration, and thermal-vacuum trials confirm it can withstand the violence of launch and the extremes of space, 2) why the completion of these tests marks the final major hurdle before full observatory assembly, 3) how the mission remains

NASA’s Voyager 1 Probe Will Reach One ‘Light Day’ from Earth Next Year, Marking Humanity’s Deepest Foray into the Cosmos
NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe will continue its almost half-century of service by delivering yet another milestone: by this time next year, it should have reached a distance of 1 light-day from Earth.
Based on the most recent estimates, the revolutionary Voyager 1 space probe is expected to achieve the feat on November 15, 2026, continuing its reign as the farthest-travelled human-made object. After flying by Jupiter, Saturn, and Titan, the spacecraft continued its journey into interstellar space.
NASA Spacecraft Discovery Could Solve the Riddle of This Mysterious Feature Buried Under Thousands of Feet of Martian Ice
NASA scientists have made a discovery that is renewing the debate over an unusual feature hidden beneath thousands of feet of ice near the Martian south pole.
The new findings, made possible by the agency’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), have led a team of NASA researchers to conclude that the mysterious region—long suspected of being an underground lake—may be something else entirely.
The team’s discovery was reported on November 17 in a new paper that appeared in Geophysical
A Mysterious New “Structure” Has Been Discovered in Our Solar System’s Kuiper Belt
Far beyond Neptune, at the outer rim of our Solar System, astronomers have spotted what resembles a hidden “structure” or “band” of small worlds.
This newly identified feature, dubbed the “inner kernel” of the Kuiper Belt, sits just inside a previously known clump of objects, and may hold fresh clues to how the outer Solar System was built and reshaped over billions of years.
The Kuiper Belt is a vast ring of icy bodies beyond Neptune, home to
NASA Astronaut Chris Williams, Crewmates Arrive at Space Station
NASA astronaut Chris Williams, accompanied by Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev, safely arrived at the International Space Station on Thursday, expanding the orbiting laboratory’s crew to 10 for the next two weeks.
The trio launched aboard the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft at 4:27 a.m. EST (2:27 p.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. After a three-hour, two-orbit journey, the spacecraft docked at 7:34 a.m. to the space station’s Rassvet module.

ULA aimed to launch up to 10 Vulcan rockets this year—it will fly just once
Engineers traced the problem to a manufacturing defect in an insulator on the solid rocket motor, and telemetry data from all four boosters on the following flight in August exhibited “spot-on” performance, according to Bruno. But officials decided to recover the spent expendable motor casings from the Atlantic Ocean for inspections to confirm there were no other surprises or close calls.
The hangup delaying the next Vulcan launches isn’t in rocket production. ULA has hardware for multiple Vulcan rockets
Brazil launches fourth Scorpène submarine
Ceremony at the Itaguaí Naval Base also marked the commissioning of the third submarine by the Brazilian Navy.
A new milestone for the Brazilian Navy’s submarine force was reached on 26 November 2025 with the christening of the fourth diesel-electric submarine, the S43 Almirante Karam (formerly Angostura), and the commissioning of the S42 Tonelero, the third of the Riachuelo-class. This was the first occasion on which two submarines were presented simultaneously.
As a derivative of the Scorpène family by Naval Group, with around five additional meters in length, the S43 is the first of its class to be entirely built

Strange Lights, Abductions, and Close Encounters: The “Forgotten” UFO Waves!
Most people in UFO circles are aware of the UFO wave of 1947 that, essentially, kick-started the Modern UFO Era, as well as the subsequent waves that followed throughout the fifties and sixties. Likewise, many are aware of the waves of airship sightings that swept the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. There are, though, many other UFO waves, sometimes specific to a particular country, that have flared up since
Evil Haunted and Cursed Murder Houses
Can a place be evil? Is it possible for so many atrocities and death and anguish to seep into a place and permeate in to the point that it actually becomes, in a sense, malevolent? Throughout history, there have been those places around which orbit murder, suffering, and grotesqueries to the point that they are saturated with evil, and in many cases, these places are haunted, cursed, or both. These are some of those places.

This year’s UN climate talks avoided fossil fuels, again
If we didn’t have pictures and videos, I almost wouldn’t believe the imagery that came out of this year’s UN climate talks. Over the past few weeks in Belem, Brazil, attendees dealt with oppressive heat and flooding, and at one point a literal fire broke out, delaying negotiations. The symbolism was almost too much to bear. While many, including the president of Brazil, framed this year’s conference as one of action, the talks ended with a watered-down agreement. The final
Moving toward LessOps with VMware-to-cloud migrations
In partnership withCognizant Today’s IT leaders face competing mandates to do more (“make us an ‘AI-first’ enterprise—yesterday”) with less (“no new hires for at least the next six months”). VMware has become a focal point of these dueling directives. It remains central to enterprise IT, with 80% of organizations using VMware infrastructure products. But shifting licensing models are prompting teams to reconsider how they manage and scale these workloads, often on tighter budgets. For many organizations, the path forward involves
The AI Hype Index: The people can’t get enough of AI slop
Separating AI reality from hyped-up fiction isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve created the AI Hype Index—a simple, at-a-glance summary of everything you need to know about the state of the industry. Last year, the fantasy author Joanna Maciejewska went viral (if such a thing is still possible on X) with a post saying “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing
Aligning VMware migration with business continuity
In partnership withPresidio For decades, business continuity planning meant preparing for anomalous events like hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, or regional power outages. In anticipation of these rare disasters, IT teams built playbooks, ran annual tests, crossed their fingers, and hoped they’d never have to use them. In recent years, an even more persistent threat has emerged. Cyber incidents, particularly ransomware, are now more common—and often, more damaging—than physical disasters. In a recent survey of more than 500 CISOs, almost three-quarters (72%)
