NASA's experimental supersonic X-59 aircraft completed its first test flight over the Southern California desert, reaching subsonic speeds. This is a key step in developing technology for future quiet supersonic passenger travel.
SpaceX successfully launched its 11th Starship rocket from Texas, which landed in the Indian Ocean. This is the last flight before the test launch of a new version of the rocket, designed for missions to the Moon and Mars.
SpaceX has announced the flight date for the Starship Flight 11 mega-rocket for October 13 at 7:15 PM ET. The launch will take place from the SpaceX Starbase spaceport in South Texas, with the broadcast starting 30 minutes before launch.
NASA is planning a ten-day crewed lunar expedition around the Moon in February 2026, which will be the first such flight in 50 years. The Artemis II mission will test the rocket and spacecraft systems, flying a record distance beyond the Moon's orbit.
The US successfully launched 21 satellites, which is the first step towards creating a new missile defense system. This network of cheap low-orbiting spacecraft will provide global missile tracking and improve NATO's tactical communication.
SpaceX successfully launched 24 Starlink satellites from California. The Falcon 9 rocket's first stage completed its 15th successful launch and landing.
The NISAR satellite, a joint development by NASA and ISRO, has been launched into orbit with the largest reflector antenna. It will track glacier movement, earthquakes, landslides, and deforestation.
The tenth test flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket was successful, deploying satellites and splashing down in the Indian Ocean. The Super Heavy booster successfully landed in the Gulf of Mexico.
The tenth test flight of the Starship rocket, scheduled for August 26, has been postponed due to a liquid oxygen leak and weather conditions. SpaceX engineers have made changes to the design to improve reliability.
The launch of SpaceX's Starship Flight 10 rocket has been canceled 17 minutes before liftoff. The reason was problems with ground systems; the launch has been postponed to August 25.
SpaceX is preparing for the tenth test flight of Starship on August 24 from the Starbase site. This launch is a key stage in preparing the spacecraft for NASA's lunar missions.
SpaceX will update the design of the Starship rocket by removing one stabilizer. The new version will have three larger and stronger grid fins for better descent.
The Axiom 4 commercial mission successfully launched to the ISS, delivering astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary. This is the first time representatives from these countries have been sent into space in decades, highlighting their financial participation in the project.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has stated that SpaceX rocket launches in Texas have polluted the country's territory, and the government is studying the consequences. Rocket fragments have already been found in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
SpaceX plans to launch Starship on May 27 at 23:30 GMT. During the flight, the Super Heavy booster will be reused and the deployment of Starlink satellites will be tested.
SpaceX conducted a 60-second fire test of the Starship upper stage, preparing it for its ninth flight. The next launch is expected to take place within a few weeks.
A NOAA study has revealed the accumulation of metals from satellites in the stratosphere, which could destroy the ozone layer and destabilise the Earth's climate. However, funding for further research has been suspended.
SpaceX has received approval from U. S. regulators to increase the number of Starship launches from Texas. The company plans to expand the rocket's development for a flight to Mars.
Elon Musk wants to have many children to prepare humanity for a possible apocalypse and colonisation of Mars. He already has at least 14 children with different women.
The amount of space debris in Earth's orbit is growing rapidly, which could lead to the destruction of satellites and the impossibility of using certain orbits. Active clearing of space is needed.
