Following the recent successful mission of the Orion spacecraft, the Artemis program is now turning its focus to SpaceX and Blue Origin, which are tasked with developing a crewed lunar lander for the upcoming Artemis III mission. SpaceX’s immediate goal is to achieve full operational capability of its Starship Block 3, which is critical for […]

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully lifted off on April 11, 2026, carrying the Cygnus XL spacecraft, named S.S. Steven R. Nagel, destined for the International Space Station (ISS). This marks the fourth mission in which SpaceX has launched a Cygnus cargo spacecraft for Northrop Grumman. The launch occurred at 7:41 AM EDT from the […]

After an extraordinary journey encompassing more than 800,000 kilometers, the Artemis II mission is poised to make its return to Earth this Friday evening. The Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, has been home to its four-member crew since its launch on April 1 and is expected to reenter Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean before splashing […]

China’s burgeoning commercial space sector is witnessing a surge of activity, with recent announcements from two key players in the field. CAS Space and Space Pioneer have each launched new rocket systems shortly after one another, while also unveiling plans for innovative technologies and future deep-space missions. In March, China marked an impressive eight successful […]

SpaceX is making significant progress at its Starbase facility as it prepares for the return of Booster 19. The company has been conducting extensive tests, including deluge and load testing of the Ship Quick Disconnect (SQD) arm, in anticipation of the upcoming launch scheduled for May. This particular mission, designated as Flight 12, will feature […]

The Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, reached a groundbreaking milestone on Flight Day 6 of the Artemis II mission, successfully passing behind the Moon and temporarily losing communication with Earth for approximately 40 minutes.
