NASA and SpaceX are gearing up for the launch of the Psyche mission to the metallic asteroid 16 Psyche. This groundbreaking mission will provide scientists with valuable information about planetary formation and the composition of planetary cores. Psyche will be the first mission to extensively study a metallic asteroid, offering insights into the formation of […]

NASA is making progress on the completion of the Space Launch System (SLS) core stage for the Artemis II lunar flyby mission. The four RS-25 core stage engines were installed in September at the Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans. Despite delays due to supply chain issues and a weld tool issue, NASA aims […]

In October 2023, NASA’s Psyche mission will embark on a journey to explore asteroid 16 Psyche, one of the largest asteroids in the asteroid belt. Psyche is believed to be rich in metals, but its true nature remains largely unknown. Recent research conducted by NASA’s retired Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) telescope and Ames […]

Florida’s Space Coast has been a hub of activity recently, with SpaceX and Blue Origin making strides to enhance their infrastructure and prepare for future testing. At Blue Origin’s manufacturing complex at Exploration Park, there has been a buildup of hardware outside the main production building. This indicates the necessary steps for designing and constructing […]
