Booster Rocket

On October 13, 2024, SpaceX launched its Starship vehicle from South Texas, successfully capturing its Super Heavy booster at the launch site. This marked a significant achievement for space exploration. The booster landed near the Mechazilla launch tower and was grasped by its metal arms. Although the upper stage of the Starship was not recovered,...

SpaceX successfully "caught" the first-stage booster of its Starship mega-rocket Sunday as it returned to the launch pad after a test flight, a world first in the company's quest for rapid reusability.

SpaceX successfully launched the NROL-113 mission on 5th September 2024, sending classified spy satellites into orbit for the United States National Reconnaissance Office. The mission was SpaceX’s second launch of the day, following an earlier Starlink mission. The Falcon 9 booster landed successfully on the droneship "Of Course I Still Love You"...

US regulators on Friday cleared SpaceX to restart launching its stalwart Falcon 9 rocket, as a probe continues into a rare mishap this week during a first-stage booster landing.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 successfully launched a batch of Starlink internet satellites into orbit early on Wednesday morning from Florida. The rocket's reusable first stage booster returned to Earth and attempted to land on a sea-faring barge as usual, but toppled into the ocean after a fiery touchdown, a SpaceX live stream showed.

The government has allotted nearly 130 billion rupees ($1.55 billion) to India's space department this year. Asked how much he expected funding to increase,ISRO chief Somanath said "something like an additional 20-30%", though "over a long period of time".

Boris Nadezhdin, a 60-year-old former opposition lawmaker, is running a long-shot campaign to challenge Vladimir Putin for the Russian presidency and says his call to end Russia's war in Ukraine has put rocket boosters under his bid.

Elon Musk's SpaceX made final preparations early on Monday to launch its powerful new Starship rocket system to space for the first time, on a brief but highly anticipated uncrewed test flight from the Gulf Coast of Texas.

A key SpaceX Starship Super Heavy rocket launch test could happen next week, according to a planning notice posted Tuesday by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

SpaceX will fire up all 33 engines that power Starship, its next-generation space launch vehicle, in what is expected to be a key milestone in the firm's development of the massive launch system. The static fire test is scheduled for Thursday and comes two weeks after the rocket and booster were filled with propellant in a "wet dress rehearsal" by ...

The massive piece was left from the core stage of the Long March 5B rocket that was launched on October 31.

A massive Chinese rocket booster is headed for an uncontrolled fall through the atmosphere Friday, sparking concerns that pieces of the giant vehicle could crash to Earth.

A Blue Origin rocket has failed mid-flight shortly after its lift-off a day ago. This has caused the rocket to abort its cargo capsule to safety before crashing into the Texas desert. The rocket aimed to send NASA-funded experiments and other payloads to the edge of the space. The booster crashed within the designated hazard area.

ISRO is all set to launch its new Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on August 7. The launch, scheduled for 9:18am IST is open for the public to witness through ISRO's Launch Viewers gallery. The ground testing of the newly developed solid booster stage (SS1) was carried out on March 14.
