India just launched its first mission of 2025. The Indian Space Research Organisation‘s (ISRO) Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) lifted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on schedule today at 7:53 p.m. EST (0053 GMT and 6:23 a.m. local time on Jan. 29). It was the 100th launch overall from the storied spaceport, which lies […]

Blue Origin will have to wait a bit longer to get its first-ever moon-gravity mission off the ground. The company, which was founded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, had planned to launch its New Shepard suborbital vehicle for the 29th time (Jan. 28) from its West Texas launch site. But two different issues conspired to prevent

Boom Supersonic made history (Jan. 28) when its XB-1 jet broke the sound barrier for the first time. Boom Supersonic’s chief test pilot Tristan “Geppetto” Brandenburg took off in the company’s XB-1 jet from the storied Mojave Air & Space Port in California this morning under mostly clear skies. Some 11.5 minutes into the flight

Blue Origin will launch its first suborbital rocket launch of 2025 this week — and attempt a wild spin trick to mimic the moon’s gravity during the flight — but if you want to see it live, you’ll need to know when and where to tune in. An uncrewed New Shepard rocket will launch the

SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from Florida’s Space Coast today (Jan. 27). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink spacecraft, including 13 with direct-to-cellphone capability, lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today at 5:05 p.m. EST (2205 GMT). The Falcon 9’s first stage returned to Earth about eight minutes

The capsule that will one day ferry Indian astronauts to space and return them to Earth has been fitted with the key technology required for the task — marking another milestone in the country’s pursuit to develop homegrown technology for independent human spaceflight capabilities. The country’s space agency, Indian Space Research Organization, announced on Wednesday

The rising threat of space debris is no longer confined to theoretical discussions or isolated incidents. Its impact disrupts airline operations, with flights being delayed, rescheduled, or rerouted due to warnings about falling debris along flight paths. Recent events underscore the immediate risks of re-entering rocket components to aviation, terrestrial communities, and infrastructure. Flight Delays

NASA plans to fly two rockets through active auroras to help study the unique ribbons of light that dance across the Alaskan night sky. The rockets are expected to lift off from the Poker Flat Research Range in Fairbanks, Alaska, as part of two missions led by space physicists Marilia Samara and Robert Michell from

Starlink has become Kenya’s eighth-largest internet provider, surpassing established players like Liquid Telecommunications. The Elon Musk-owned company has grown its subscriber base to 16,746 subscribers and gained a 1.1% market, according to the latest data from Kenya’s Communications Authority (CA). Starlink’s growth, from the tenth largest ISP in June 2024, suggests that the company has

Blue Origin will launch the 29th mission of its New Shepard suborbital vehicle next week, on an uncrewed research flight that will simulate lunar gravity conditions. The mission, known as NS-29, is scheduled to lift off from Blue Origin‘s West Texas launch site on Tuesday (Jan. 28) at 11 a.m. EST (1600 GMT; 10 a.m.
