Gene and Rachel from Spadre [@SouthPadreIsle] are right at the edge of the exclusion zone with one of my slow motion cameras to catch SpaceX fuel up and static fire Starship SN-8!
The US Air Force recently announced the opening of a new high-tech lab which it says will be used by the recently established Space Force (USSF) to test advanced materials and designs for space vehicles such as satellites and spacecraft.
Part of this strategy involves using parachutes, a helicopter and a special grappling hook to collect the first stage as it drifts back down to the Earth, a technique it was able to successfully demonstrate using a dummy first stage earlier this year
One of the company's two-stage Falcon 9 rockets blasted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station here at 6:24 p.m. EST (2324 GMT) Thurs Nov 5, carrying the GPS III-SV04 satellite to orbit. Nine minutes later, the rocket's
The new Vector will leverage much of the design of the Vector-R rocket the original company had development, but with new engines and an initial focus on suborbital markets.
Having conquered space toilets, NASA, with crowd-sourcer HeroX, have announced a new challenge that invites the public to submit novel ways to unload lunar payloads. NASA's Lunar Delivery Challenge is offering US$25,000 in prizes for the best ideas
NASA and ESA have formally entered into a partnership agreement for building NASA's Artemis Gateway deep space outpost. The agreement signed on Tuesday is part of the US effort to attract international partners for the lunar exploration project.
NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has confirmed, for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the Moon. This means water could all over the moon and not just in permanently shadowed craters mostly near the north
Seattle-based Ultra Safe Nuclear Technologies (USNC-Tech) has developed a concept for a new Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) engine and delivered it to NASA.
For centuries, humans have looked to space and the stars for answers. The fascination is more than philosophical - it's coupled with the need to solve problems here on Earth.
ITHACA, N.Y. -- It's been three decades since legendary astronomer Carl Sagan suggested that the Voyager 1 space probe take a picture of Earth from nearly four billion miles away.
"A piece of primordial rock that has witnessed our solar system's entire history may now be ready to come home for generations of scientific discovery," said a NASA scientist of the U.S.'s first attempt to return an asteroid sample to Earth.
In a truly remarkable feat of engineering, NASA's OSIRIS-REx has scooped a sample of soil from the surface of asteroid Bennu, as it hurtles through space some 205 million miles from Earth. The spacecraft successfully touched the asteroid Bennu on T
NASA makes historic landing on 'doomsday asteroid' Bennu as OSIRIS-REx extends its 11-foot robotic arm to collect rock samples before launching back into space
The thrust created by the Stainless Steel Prototype was massive. Starship SN8 a first kind of that prototype successfully completed and survived the first static fire test without any fail.
