A deep partial lunar eclipse on August 27-28, 2026, will be visible in North America and will be the best lunar eclipse anywhere on Earth until New Year's Eve 2028.
Engineers at MIT have successfully tested a hybrid propulsion system for small satellites that combines the raw punch of chemical rockets with the long-haul efficiency of electric thrusters – and crucially, both run on the same fuel.
Now that they've had access to the pad and integration facility they can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape.
SpaceX has once again set the record for flying the largest and most powerful rocket in history. It's also on the verge of launching more satellites than the rest of the world combined since Sputnik. Are we witnessing the beginning of a new Space Age
NASA is buying two next-generation vehicles for a staggering $440 million, but you won't be seeing them cruising down the highway on the way to Cape Canaveral.
In microgravity, walking doesn't exist. Balance doesn't exist. What does exist is the need to grip surfaces, manipulate tools, move through narrow corridors, and not go flying every time you push against something. Two legs solve none of those proble
What will NASA's moon base look like? As the US space agency reveals plans to build a $20 billion lunar 'city' by 2032, experts reveal how it could take shape
Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives has pointed out for months the potential for a SpaceX-Tesla merger, discussing the possibility with Bloomberg in February and, more recently, on a podcast where he said the probability is 80% by 2027. Polymarket odds of a
While SpaceX was fueling Flight 12, they took a phone call to the most remote island on Earth.
The man on the other end of that call is going to the Moon. And then, on a separate mission, he's going to Mars. A private citizen. Two crewed flights bey
After more than 200 days of extensive construction and testing, including a new booster and pad, Starship Version 3 took to the skies for its flight 12. This test flight was more than just a routine mission; it involved significant in-space operation
China's satellite laser downlink shows how a low-power beam from extreme distance could change the race for faster, more resilient space communications.
Sonny White (Harold G. "Sonny" White) has solid credentials as a NASA veteran but is viewed as a highly speculative researcher in the broader scientific community.
Elon Musk's rocket company, SpaceX, has reportedly selected Nasdaq for its long-awaited IPO and is targeting a June 11 pricing, followed by a June 12 debut under the ticker "SPCX," according to a Reuters report released late in Friday's U.S. cash ses

Sunlight on demand. It sounds like a premise from a science fiction novel. But what if the next great unlock for the global energy transition was not a better battery, but simply the ability to move the sun?
During a high-volume deluge test on the new Orbital Launch Pad 2 one of the methalox gas generators that supplies high-pressure nitrogen for the deluge system exploded. The explosion sent roof panels and debris flying.
If an alien in the Alpha Centauri star system were craving pizza, it would take tens of thousands of years to deliver it using today's rocket technology.
