Elon Musk tweeted out a video of the SpaceX Starship preparing for launch in the next few days.
A crack team of university students is just a month away from launching the first privately-made lunar rover onto the Moon's surface.
No fooling--Starship rolled back to the launch pad on April 1.
A Tohoku University researcher has increased the performance of a high-power electrodeless plasma thruster, moving us one step closer to deeper explorations into space.
"Counterportation" through a wormhole "gives you the end goal of the object being reconstituted across space, but we can verify that nothing has passed."
The space industry is in for another awakening moment in history. The world's most giant and powerful sleeping monster is up and ready to roll.
'SpaceX will be ready to launch Starship in a few weeks, then launch timing depends on FAA license approval.'
A mostly 3D-printed rocket, measuring 110 feet high, blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Wednesday night and encountered a mid-flight problem preventing it from reaching orbit.
Liftoff of the Terran 1 rocket is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday (March 22).
Liftoff of the Terran 1 rocket is scheduled for Saturday (March 11) during a three-hour window that opens at 1 p.m. ET.
A private space tech firm will become the first entity to launch a 3D-printed rocket, which is technically the largest 3D-printed object as well.
SpaceX Starlink V2 minis will be larger and more powerful than the Version 1.5 Starlink.
Researchers say China plans to build a huge satellite network in near-Earth orbit to provide internet services to users around the world – and to stifle Elon Musk's Starlink.
The Falcon 9 rocket and its Crew Dragon Endeavour will launch on Monday, Feb. 27 after wrapping up a key test.
Since 2021, Blue Origin has been making solar cells and transmission wire from regolith simulants.
"The real goal is to not blow up the launch pad, that is success."
SpaceX's Starbase factory is already building multiple intentionally-expendable Starships. Ship 26 and Ship 27 feature no thermal protection, have no heat shield tiles, and will not be fitted with flaps, making them impossible to recover or reuse.
Explosions get you much more bang from your fuel buck than combustion – if your engine can withstand them. NASA believes the rotating detonation engine could be the future of deep space travel, and it's getting strong results in prototype testing.
NASA and DARPA will work together to develop and demonstrate a nuclear thermal rocket engine in space by 2027. The Demonstration Rocket is part of the Agile Cislunar Operations (DRACO) programme.
Benjamin Jorns, U-M associate professor of aerospace engineering led a new Hall thruster study that operated a Hall Plasma thruster at five times old power limits.
The startup, AstroForge, is also planning a second mission this year to observe a target asteroid for potential mining.
We live in an era of renewed space exploration, where multiple agencies are planning to send astronauts to the Moon in the coming years.
Houston, we have a problem! Inside the biggest battle for cislunar space - the area between Earth and the moon - since the Cold War era as nations and private companies plan 100 lunar missions in the next decade
The United States plans to test a spacecraft engine powered by nuclear fission by 2027 as part of a long-term NASA effort to demonstrate more efficient methods of propelling astronauts to Mars in the future, the space agency's chief said on Tuesda
Angry Astronaut made a video based off of my (and Centauri Dreams) Avatar's Antimatter rocket which is based off an actual scientifically sound design.
The Second Avatar movie will surpass $2 billion in box office. The start of the first Avatar movie showed the Valkyrie Antimatter rocket design. This was an actual antimatter rocket design.
Esrange, in the far north of Sweden, has been launching sounding rockets since 1966. After nearly 60 years of operations, orbital missions are on the horizon.
