SpaceX has launched an epic rideshare mission carrying 116 payloads from nine different companies. A Falcon 9 rocket took off from the Vandenburg Space Force Base in California on Friday morning. SpaceX is expected to confirm the deployment of the payloads later. These included the European Space Agency Arctic Weather satellite, UK-based Surrey Satellites' Tyche satellite, Japan-based iQPS' QPS-SAR No. 8 satellite and US-based Planet Labs's Tanager-1 satellite. The Transporter 11 launch is SpaceX's 80th this year and more than 70% of the satellites on board will be deployed to the Starlink com...

Washington (AFP) - NASA needs to decide by the end of August whether to return two astronauts to Earth aboard Boeing's Starliner, which flew them to the International Space Station (ISS), or bring them home on a SpaceX craft, officials said Wednesday. NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams blasted off for the ISS on Starliner on June 5 for what was meant to be an eight-day stay. But their return has been delayed by thruster malfunctions that came to light during the first crewed mission to the ISS by the Boeing spacecraft. NASA officials, at a press conference on Wedn...

Washington (AFP) - What was meant to be a weeklong trip to the International Space Station (ISS) for the first NASA astronauts to fly with Boeing could extend to eight months, with the agency considering bringing them home on a SpaceX spaceship. A final decision on whether to persist with Boeing's troubled Starliner -- which experienced worrying propulsion issues as it flew up to the orbital platform in June -- is expected later this month, officials said Wednesday in a call with reporters. Detailed planning is already underway with Boeing's rival SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, to potentially la...

Washington (AFP) - SpaceX's stalwart Falcon 9 rocket has been cleared for launch after experiencing a rare failure earlier this month, officials said Thursday. The rocket, a prolific launch vehicle that propels both satellites and astronauts into orbit, experienced an anomaly during a launch on July 11 in its second stage booster that meant it failed to deploy 20 Starlink satellites at a high enough altitude, and all burnt up on re-entry through Earth's atmosphere. "During the first burn of Falcon 9's second stage engine, a liquid oxygen leak developed within the insulation around the upper s...

Germany needs to develop a stronger strategic presence in space, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Thursday on visiting the military's space headquarters in Uedem to the north-west of Dusseldorf. "We need military control for satellite operation, and we have to position ourselves more strongly in space," Pistorius said. Many in the German public were barely aware of the military's newest unit, he said. "We simply have to acknowledge that space is a strategic dimension and that we have to involve ourselves with it, and sooner rather than later," Pistorius said, pointing to data security,...

Missy Elliott’s 90s classic ‘The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)’ has officially entered the cosmos. Last week (Friday 12 July), NASA transmitted the hip-hop song to the planet Venus via the space organisation’s Deep Space Network (DSN). The DSN is NASA’s means of communicating with spacecraft from Earth, whether it's a mission to the Moon or further afield. This is just the second time NASA has used the DSN to send a song to space. The first time was the Beatles’ ‘Across the Universe’, which they sent into deep space in 2008. Who is Chappell Roan? The new(ish) pop star taking over the internetEmmys 2024...
