SpaceX is gearing up for the next test flight of its Starship spacecraft, following the successful debut of Integrated Flight Test One (IFT 1). The company has made a series of upgrades to both the launch site and Booster 9, pending final regulatory approval. One of the significant changes to Booster 9 is the switch […]

Blue Origin, the aerospace manufacturer founded by Jeff Bezos, is making significant progress towards the launch of its orbital class rocket, New Glenn. The company has been conducting tests at Launch Complex 36 (LC-36) and has recently submitted plans for a refurbishment facility near the Cape Canaveral Skid Strip. This facility will play an important […]

The week of Sept. 18 through Sept. 24 is set to be an exciting one for the aerospace industry, with three orbital launches scheduled to take place in the United States. These launches, all conducted by US-based aerospace companies, highlight the continued growth and innovation in the field. Rocket Lab, a prominent player in the […]

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope, revealing the presence of carbon-bearing molecules in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b. This finding has provided valuable insights into the nature of this intriguing exoplanet, which is believed to be a Hycean planet, potentially featuring a hydrogen-rich atmosphere and a water-covered surface. […]

Aerojet Rocketdyne, a company under L3Harris Technologies, has started installing its RS-25 liquid-propellant rocket engines into NASA’s second Space Launch System (SLS) core stage at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. The installation process began on September 11, several months later than originally planned. The engines were initially prepared for installation earlier this year […]

SpaceX is eagerly awaiting approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the launch license of the second test flight of Starship, the world’s most powerful rocket. The FAA recently closed its investigation into an anomaly that occurred during the first Integrated Flight Test of Starship. During the investigation, SpaceX identified corrective actions to prevent […]

SpaceX, the private aerospace company founded by Elon Musk, is gearing up for two back-to-back Starlink missions this week. The first mission, Starlink Group 7-2, successfully launched 21 satellites into low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex (SLC) 4 East at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. This launch marked SpaceX’s 51st launch from SLC-4E […]

United Launch Alliance (ULA) successfully launched its Atlas V rocket on Sunday for the classified NROL-107 Silent Barker mission. This mission, a joint project between the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the United States Space Force, has been in development for three years and aims to provide the capability to search, detect, and track objects […]

Scientists using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have made an exciting discovery: a black hole that’s continuously consuming a star similar to our Sun. This phenomenon, known as a tidal disruption event, occurs when a star orbits too close to a black hole. The immense gravitational forces from the black hole tear the star apart, […]

SpaceX has reached a significant milestone in its Starship program as it rolls out Ship 25 to the launch site and stacks it on top of Super Heavy Booster 9. This marks the first fully stacked Starship rocket to be assembled at Starbase since April 20. Ship 25 has undergone several important upgrades and additions […]
