SpaceX successfully launched 23 more Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral, expanding the satellite network that aims to provide global internet coverage. The mission took place on 23rd October, 2024, marking the 18th flight of the Falcon 9 booster. Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell reported over 6,400 satellites are now part of the Starlink const...

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it had approved the return to flight of the SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicle after it reviewed and accepted the SpaceX-led investigation findings and corrective actions for the September mishap.

The FAA grounded the Falcon 9 after failing an attempt to land back on Earth during a routine Starlink mission, forcing the company's second grounding this year. SpaceX made the return to flight request for the workhorse vehicle on Thursday and the FAA gave approval on Friday. The agency said flights may resume "provided all other license requirem...

On August 20, 2024, SpaceX successfully launched 22 new Starlink satellites, significantly expanding its global satellite network.

Passengers on a United Airlines flight captured an incredible video of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launch last year, which is now going viral on social media again.

SpaceX is targeting early December to launch its giant Starship rocket system into orbit for the first time, a pivotal demonstration flight as it aims to fly NASA astronauts to the moon in the next few years, a US official said on Monday. Further ground tests with the rocket and regulatory reviews could delay the debut orbital mission beyond Decemb...

SpaceX successfully carried the next long-term International Space Station crew, with a Russian cosmonaut, two Americans and a Japanese astronaut into orbit on Wednesday. The launch of the rocket carrying Russian cosmonaut Anna Kikina, is the first spaceflight with a Russian launched from U.S. soil in two decades. Kikina, who had trained in the Uni...

A video being shared widely on the internet shows two women standing with their foreheads touching, while another person directs a falcon into the small gap between their faces.

Boeing Starliner astronaut capsule returned from the International Space Station, landing safely in New Mexico on Wednesday. The CST-100 Starliner capsule returned less than a week after its launch from the Cape Canaveral US Space Force Base in Florida.

Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX launched four more astronauts on a flight to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA on Wednesday, including a medical doctor turned spacewalker and a geologist specializing in Martian landslides.

The first all-private flight to the International Space Station (ISS) is set to take off on Friday. The mission, organised by the US company Axiom Space, will send a crew of four persons to the space station. This mission will not include any current NASA astronauts and all the crew members are civilians. The crew will stay on ISS for eight days.

SpaceX’s Crew Dragon astronaut capsules have reached end of production, a company executive told Reuters, as Elon Musk's space transportation company heaps resources on its next-generation spaceship program.

Elon Musk is known for his witty responses on social media platforms. From indulging in self-deprecating humour to replying with an eggplant emoji to a tweet, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has made us all laugh time and again. Earlier, not many even believed in his worldview or business acumen until he sent his Tesla Roadster into space in his powerful ...
