Astronomers have long been fascinated by the mysterious radio bursts that originate from deep space. These bursts, known as fast radio bursts (FRBs), release an incredibly high amount of energy in just a fraction of a second, comparable to the energy output of the Sun in an entire year. However, the origin of these bursts […]

With the increasing number of launches to meet the demand for satellites, the amount of space debris in orbit is also growing. This has become a concern as it poses risks to functioning satellites and spacecraft. In response to this problem, organizations like Astroscale are focusing on developing commercial on-orbit services for active and defunct […]

Japan’s H3 rocket successfully reached orbit on its second attempt, 11 months after it failed during its debut flight. The launch took place at the Tanegashima Space Center and sent a mass simulator and two small satellites to a Sun-synchronous orbit. The H3 rocket was developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Mitsubishi […]

SpaceX Sets New Records with 10 Launches in January, Despite Weather Delays Despite multiple delays and weather violations, SpaceX achieved a new record in January by successfully launching and landing 10 rockets in a single month.
