Terran Orbital Corporation, a premier player in the satellite-based solutions market, reported the successful accomplishment of the CAPSTONE's primary mission - navigating to and within the Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) and performing the initial successful test of the Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System (CAPS) alongside the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). As a bonus, CAPSTONE a

There's a special sort of hopeful-nervousness I feel on a weekend with a challenging drive. It's how I felt this last weekend, waiting for our rover to try and execute the 11 meter drive that was supposed to get us off a large rock precluding any arm activities over the weekend. Well, we did get off the rock (yay!) but our wheels still slipped in the surrounding sand and ended the drive early in

In recent developments from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the primary rocket engine designed for future manned lunar missions has undergone its sixth trial run. This round of testing brings the cumulative operation time of the 130-tonne class liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engine to an impressive 3,300 seconds, establishing a new record for China. This achievement

Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form? NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is already providing new insights into this question. One of the largest programs in Webb's first year of science is the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, or JADES, which will devote about 32 days of telescope time to uncover and characterize faint, distant ga

Researchers have detected complex organic molecules in a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years away from Earth - the most distant galaxy in which these molecules are now known to exist. Thanks to the capabilities of the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope and careful analyses from the research team, a new study lends critical insight into the complex chemical interactions that occur i

New research from the RAND Corporation underscores the urgent necessity for the establishment of an International Space Traffic Management Organization (ISTMO). This conclusion comes as a response to the ballooning population of active satellites and other debris orbiting Earth, which is edging the world closer to a critical tipping point in space traffic management (STM). With almost 7,000 acti

When the Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990, there were about 470 artificial satellites orbiting Earth. By 2000, that number doubled. But by 2023, the rising number has grown almost exponentially to nearly 8,000 satellites. For Hubble this means that satellites photobomb about 10% of its exposures on celestial targets. But a typical satellite trail is very thin and will affect less than

In European space news, GomSpace and ESA have decided not to proceed to the next phase of the CubeMap mission, a climate observation initiative. The mission had been envisaged as a collaboration between the ESA, Denmark-based GomSpace, and UK-based RAL Space. In December 2021, GomSpace and RAL Space signed a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) for the Scout-1 Mission, otherwise k

So far, astrophysicists have only detected gravitational waves from binary systems - the mergers of either two black holes, two neutron stars or one of each. Although astrophysicists theoretically should be able to detect gravitational waves from a single, non-binary source, they have yet to uncover these elusive signals. Now Northwestern University researchers suggest looking at a new, un
