Investigators are working to determine the source of the odour, which may have originated either from the Progress spacecraft or its vestibule connecting to the ISS. This incident follows a series of earlier issues with Russian spacecraft, raising concerns about their reliability.
Starlink users are already enjoying speeds of 250-350 Mbps, far exceeding typical fibre connections in some areas. The service is expected to deliver speeds surpassing 2Gbps shortly as next-generation satellites are deployed.
SpaceX's recent launch was Starship's sixth test flight, during which the company intentionally pushed Starship to its limits. The company will now make further modifications to Starship before the next flight.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX-owned Starlink aims to transform internet connectivity by offering high-speed satellite internet across over 100 countries. With its ability to work in remote areas, Starlink is bridging the digital divide like never before.
ISRO's new satellite weighs 4,700 kg and is capable of providing broadband in remote areas as well as in-flight Wi-Fi services. Currently, ISRO lacks the capability to launch heavier satellites.
In response to potential risks to their supply chains, some Taiwanese companies in critical sectors like satellites and semiconductors are working to reduce reliance on local manufacturing, seeking to safeguard operations amid rising tensions.
SpaceX's 5th Starship test flight in Boca Chica, Texas, was a major success, marking a world-1st achievement. The company successfully caught the Super Heavy booster using a tower with giant arms. This innovative recovery method enables the booster to be reused, advancing SpaceX's reusable rocket.
While Starship continued its journey towards a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean, all eyes turned to the returning booster.
The malfunction caused the Falcon 9 booster to fall into an area of the Pacific Ocean outside the designated safety zone approved by the FAA for the mission.
SpaceX has long been the leader in NASA's commercial crew program, established as the space shuttles were retiring more than a decade ago.
As SpaceX gears up for these groundbreaking missions, the focus remains on technological achievements and the broader vision of human settlement on Mars, even as Musk navigates the intersection of politics and space exploration.
SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) has been rescheduled for September 26, 2024, after originally being set for August 18. The delay allows for additional time to complete final prelaunch procedures and ensure all systems are fully prepared.
SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission made history on September 12, 2024, as non-professional astronauts Jared Isaacman and Sarah Gillis became the first private crew members to perform a spacewalk, marking a significant milestone in commercial space exploration.
Jared Isaacman, the businessman who is part of the mission says "Earth sure looks like a perfect world". He stated this as he left the SpaceX capsule and stepped out into space.
SpaceX launched four private astronauts into space aboard a modified Crew Dragon capsule, marking the start of the Polaris Dawn mission. This five-day mission, which lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 5:23 a.m. EST (0923 GMT), aims to test new spacesuit designs and more.
NASA has finalised that Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore will be back on Earth by February 2025. SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission will bring the astronauts back and NASA has said to remain committed to work with Boeing.
Leading the mission is Jared Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur who is both funding and commanding the mission. He will be accompanied by pilot Scott 'Kidd' Poteet, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, and SpaceX engineers Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon, who will serve as mission specialists.
NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on June 6, now face uncertainty regarding their return to Earth.
The mission will utilize Northrop Grumman's Cygnus spacecraft (NG-21) and SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, launched from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
NASA, Northrop Grumman, and SpaceX are scheduled to launch the next cargo delivery mission to the International Space Station on Sunday at 11:02 a.m. EDT (8:30 p.m. Indian Standard Time). This mission represents the agency's 21st commercial resupply services mission to the orbiting laboratory, utili
