SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets have been maintaining a remarkable launch cadence, showcasing the company’s ability to rapidly prepare and launch vehicles from its facilities. This week alone, SpaceX aimed to conduct four launches from the same pad, Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, within a span of just […]

Using data from NASA’s Magellan mission, scientists have discovered direct geological evidence of ongoing volcanic activity on the surface of Venus. The study, led by Davide Sulcanese of d’Annunzio University in Pescara, Italy, analyzed lava flows observed in two locations on the planet, revealing that the volcanic activity on Venus could be comparable to that […]

The North Korean space agency launched a Chollima 1 satellite launch vehicle from Sohae on the west coast of the country at 13:44 UTC on Monday, May 27. However, the vehicle exploded during first stage flight, marking the third failure out of the launcher’s four flights to date. The Chollima 1 vehicle, named after a […]

## Two New Exoplanets Discovered: One Rocky and One Puffy Astronomers have discovered two new exoplanets, one rocky and one puffy, adding to the growing list of worlds beyond our solar system. The first, SPECULOOS-3b, is an Earth-sized planet orbiting a tiny, ultracool dwarf star about 55 light-years away. This exoplanet likely has a rocky […]

The space facilities around Cape Canaveral on Florida’s east coast are undergoing significant upgrades and expansions in preparation for an increase in spaceflight activity. These developments include the construction of new launch pads, upgrades to processing facilities, and expansions to factories and Port Canaveral itself. These improvements are necessary to accommodate the upcoming generation of […]

In a week of highly anticipated launches, two new spacecraft were set to take to the skies: Boeing’s crewed Starliner spacecraft and the first Chang Zheng 6C rocket from China. However, both launches faced delays and rescheduling due to technical issues. The launch of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft was scheduled to be the first crewed launch […]

Scientists studying samples collected by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) asteroid explorer Hayabusa2 have made an exciting discovery about the effects of space weathering on asteroid 162173 Ryugu. Using a technique called electron holography, the team examined the magnetic properties of the samples to gain insights into the magnetic field in the early solar […]

China successfully launched the crewed Shenzhou-18 mission, carrying three new astronauts to the Tiangong Space Station. The mission marked the second flight of the Shenzhou spacecraft to the station. The crew, consisting of Ye Guangfu, Li Cong, and Li Guangsu, are tasked with replacing the previous Shenzhou-17 crew. The launch and docking process took approximately […]

In just a few months, a groundbreaking scientific mission will take place that could revolutionize our understanding of the solar system and the potential for life beyond Earth. The Europa Clipper mission, scheduled to launch later this year, aims to explore one of Jupiter’s moons, Europa, and investigate the possibility of a subsurface ocean and […]

On the second week of April, space enthusiasts had plenty to be excited about – a total solar eclipse and several orbital launches from both Russia and the United States. One of the most highly anticipated events was the final flight of the NROL-70 Delta IV Heavy rocket, which took place on Tuesday, April 9. […]
