Earth’s orbit is getting more crowded by the week, and NASA is no longer just talking about the problem. It’s working with industry to build the infrastructure to manage it. From its support of the Department of Commerce’s satellite tracking system to a growing roster of commercial partners developing technologies to clean up debris and dodge collisions, the agency’s approach to sustainability has…
NASA has spent decades accomplishing what many thought was impossible: landing astronauts on the Moon, exploring the outer planets, and building some of the most advanced spacecraft. But today, one of the agency’s biggest challenges isn’t technology – it’s maintaining the workforce behind it.
After delaying for weather, SpaceX is back again to launch its Starship Flight 13 mission from Starbase, Texas later this afternoon. If you aren’t able to be there in person, here is how you can watch it from the comfort of your home.
After delaying its launch attempt yesterday due to weather, SpaceX is hoping today is the day for it to finally get its next Starship rocket off the ground.
Later today, SpaceX is gearing up for its next attempt at launching its 13th Starship test flight from Starbase, Texas. The previous attempt on July 16 was aborted just before liftoff due to issues with two Raptor engines.
NASA has a new idea for a lunar rover, but the vehicle itself is already familiar. During a June 30 Moon Base update, the agency unveiled PROMISE – the Polar Rover for Observation, Mapping, and In-Situ Exploration. The proposed rover mission began life as an Earth-based engineering testbed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, and is being studied to see if it can be modified…
In the last decade, SpaceX has transitioned from just a commercial launch company to a full-scale aerospace contractor for hire. From its early NASA contracts to being the sole supplier of crewed access to space, we are now seeing it take a grasp on the defense market.
Florida’s aerospace development agency, Space Florida , has approved a strategic investment in Seagate Space, a St. Petersburg startup developing offshore launch infrastructure, signaling growing interest in ocean-based spaceports as launch demand continues to increase.
For decades, lunar exploration was defined by astronauts, rovers, and orbiters. But as NASA pushes deeper into the Artemis era, a new class of robotic explorer is quietly emerging, one that could significantly change how humanity navigates the Moon : small autonomous hopping drones.
