Firefly Aerospace has suffered a setback after the Alpha rocket exploded during a preflight test. The incident, thankfully injury-free, raises concerns about the rocket’s...
Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University developed SORA-DET, a lightweight framework that boosts UAV object detection with higher accuracy and faster speed. Using novel modules...
SpaceX has successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket, which carried 11-20 Starlink Satellites into space. The lift-off was done from the Vandenberg Space Force...
Physicists have identified a loophole in Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle that allows simultaneous measurement of a particle’s position and momentum in modular form. The approach,...
As the ISS nears retirement in 2030, NASA’s contract changes cast doubt on Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser visiting the station. With increasing competition and...
SpaceX successfully launched NROL-48 on Sept. 22, 2025, for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office. The mission deployed small satellites into orbit, supporting the “proliferated...
A Harvard-led study has revealed that humans form unique touch patterns when exploring unfamiliar objects without goals. By categorizing movements into observational, perceptual, constructive,...
A black hole in quasar RACS J0320-35, 12.8 billion light-years away, is growing 2.4 times faster than theory permits. Chandra’s discovery challenges ideas of...
Despite lacking air and water, the Moon hosts hematite—an oxidized iron mineral. Scientists discovered Earth’s escaping oxygen drives this rusting process during the Moon’s...
On Sept. 21, 2025, GOES-19’s CCOR-1 coronagraph recorded a natural lunar eclipse. The Moon’s trajectory appeared curved due to a satellite yaw-flip. Unlike L1-based...
NASA has partnered with Arkisys to extend the Astrobee robotic mission aboard the ISS. The free-flying robots are set to support future exploration by...
Researchers in China have unveiled RoboFalcon 2.0, a bird-inspired robot with flapping, sweeping, and folding wing motions. Unlike earlier versions, it can achieve self-takeoff...
NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, launching in 2025, will capture ultraviolet light from hydrogen atoms to map Earth’s faint geocorona. Operating a million miles sunward,...
NASA has resolved troubling airflow vibrations detected during Artemis I. By combining wind-tunnel tests, advanced pressure-sensing paint, and supercomputer simulations, engineers added aerodynamic strakes...
