NASA is on the brink of a significant decision: whether to let two astronauts return in Boeing's Starliner capsule or use SpaceX's Crew Dragon as an emergency backup. The stakes go beyond human lives.
SpaceX explained the issue that led to a failed flight of the Falcon 9 rocket, obtained early permission from the FAA, and launched another batch of Starlink satellites while it works on fixes.
The super-reliable Falcon 9 rocket experienced a rare anomaly, breaking its near-perfect track record. Its upper stage lost the engine during the orbit insertion of SpaceX's own Starlink satellites.
The new European rocket launcher Ariane 6 completed its inaugural mission despite an anomaly in the final phase. Previous delays and failures meant Europe had no operational rocket for a year.
SpaceX has released the external view of the first-ever successful splashdown landing of the Super Heavy booster. Images show the landing burn of 13 Raptor engines and a slow touchdown on the water.
Even though hot plasma almost destroyed Starship's flap, the rocket nailed yesterday's vertical landing. Elon Musk says SpaceX already has a solution, and it just wasn't present on this ship.
The Super Heavy first stage of SpaceX's Starship rocket made a remarkable splashdown during the successful landing simulation. Starship somehow survived the plasma hell and landed too.
The fourth integrated test flight of Starship is planned for around June 5. SpaceX details the fixes addressing the issues that caused the rocket to surrender to the heat of plasma hell in March.
Blue Origin's New Shepard returned to crewed suborbital flights, successfully sending six astronauts to space. However, after a long hiatus, there is another huge concern due to a parachute failure.
Starship flew for a third time this morning. Launching from Texas, the initial phase of the test flight looked nominal. However, both the Ship and the Booster didn't reach their final destination.
Elon Musk's SpaceX has finally revealed all the details we wanted to know about Starship's November test flight explosion. Additionally, the company agreed with the FAA on proposed corrective actions.
The November test flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket, although successful, ended in flames. Much was speculated on social media about the cause, but only now we finally know what actually happened.
Jeff Bezos is one happy man after his competitor, ULA, reached orbit with its brand new Vulcan rocket, powered by Blue Origin's engines. It gives him hope to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink.
SpaceX has launched Starship with the Super Heavy booster for the first time. While it did perform an incredible launch, the mission failed when both parts of the rocket blew up at a 30 Km altitude.
Virgin Orbit is laying off 85% of its workforce after it was unable to secure funding. This means 675 people will lose their jobs. The redundancies will likely be completed by April 3.
The 3D printing world just got more exciting because we will soon witness the launch of the world's first 3D-printed rocket. It's manufactured by Relativity Space and is set to launch in March 2023.
This week, we are due to see the launch of Axiom Space's manned mission to the ISS. It was originally slated for last week but it had to be cancelled. SpaceX will be providing a rocket for the crew.
SpaceX's Starship SN11 mission turned into a catastrophe today as the firm attempted to launch in low-visibility conditions. Despite the thick fog, debris could be seen falling after the mishap.
SpaceX has finally managed to land a Starship rocket, however, several minutes after, the vehicle exploded due to a fire which managed to reach the propellant which subsequently ignited.
Rocket Lab has announced plans for its upcoming Neutron rocket which will deliver larger satellites to space, go to other planets and launch with human crews. Neutron will be partially reusable too.
After several scrubbed launch attempts, SpaceX finally got its Starship SN9 off the ground today thanks to good visibility and wind conditions. Unfortunately, like SN8, the rocket failed to land.
If the mission is successful, China will become only the third country to collect and bring back rock samples from the Moon to the Earth—a feat that has not been attempted for the past four decades.
After igniting its upper stage eight minutes after liftoff, the Vega rocket lost nominal speed and went on a degraded trajectory, taking with it the Spanish and French payload onboard.
The Users Guide describes the crewed and uncrewed payload configurations, information on Acoustics, and the various Environments of the Starship rocket. No pricing details are given, however.
In a presentation, Musk announced his plans to put Starship into orbit in about six months. He also elucidated the design and mechanical details of the rocket that is meant to drive space travel.
SpaceX intends to launch a pair of prototype satellites for its Starlink satellite internet network, capable of delivering high-bandwidth low-latency internet from low-earth orbit.
SpaceX blasted its first recycled rocket, called the Falcon 9, into space carrying a broadcasting satellite today. The launch commenced at Florida's Kennedy Space Center during a clear evening sky.
