Orbital Sciences Rocket

SpaceX has confirmed that 20 satellites blasted off the Flacon 9 rocket from California, US on Thursday will crash back to Earth.

India's Space start-up Skyroot today said it has test-fired the stage-2 of the Vikram-1 rocket, which is expected to place a satellite in orbit later this year.

A SpaceX rocket lifted off from Florida on Sunday night carrying a crew of three U.S. astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut on their way to the International Space Station (ISS) to begin a six-month science mission in Earth orbit.

Space start-up Skyroot Aerospace on Tuesday unveiled its indigenously built Vikram-1 rocket which is expected to deliver satellites to low earth orbit early next year. Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh also inaugurated 'The MAX-Q Campus', the new headquarters of the start-up at the GMR Aerospace and Industrial Park at Mamidipally in ...

The crew escape system is a critical safety feature of the Gaganyaan mission. It will be used to evacuate the crew in the event of an emergency during launch or ascent.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in Florida stood poised for launch on Saturday carrying an orbital telescope Euclid built by the European Space Agency (ESA) to shed light on mysterious cosmic phenomena known as dark energy and dark matter, unseen forces scientists say account for 95 percent of the known universe.

Two astronauts from Saudi Arabia, including the first Saudi woman, will blast off from Florida on May 8 on a private mission to the International Space Station (ISS), Axiom Space and NASA officials said Thursday. The four-member crew will travel to the ISS aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule and spend 10 days aboard the orbiting space station.

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 ...

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying the Joint Polar Satellite System-2 satellite and the NASA test payload lifted off on Thursday from California. JPSS-2 was placed into an orbit that circles the Earth from pole to pole, joining previously launched satellites in a system designed to improve weather forecasting and climate monitoring.

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...

As India eyes setting up its own space station by 2035, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has proposed to the industry to collaborate with it in developing a reusable rocket capable of carrying heavier payloads into orbit. Dubbed as the Next-Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV), ISRO Chairman S Somanath said the space agency was working on ...

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has renamed the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark -III as Launch Vehicle Mark-III, mainly to identify its task of placing satellites into a variety of orbits. The LVM3 rocket will also be used for India's maiden human space flight tentatively scheduled for late 2024.

OneWeb on Sunday announced the successful deployment of 36 satellites launched by ISRO's commercial arm NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. Bharti Global is the largest investor in OneWeb, a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications company.

ISRO, or the Indian Space Research Organisation, is set to launch 36 OneWeb broadband satellites on October 23, which will be flown into orbit by the agency's heaviest rocket, the LVM3-M2. Sunday's launch assumes significance as the LVM3-M2 mission is the maiden dedicated commercial mission for NewSpace India Ltd, the commercial arm of ISRO.

Japan's Epsilon rocket was sent a self-destruct order on Wednesday, following a failure to launch, the Japanese space agency said. Designed to launch in three stages, the unmanned rocket was set to take several satellites into orbit on its sixth space mission. Epsilon's failure to launch was Japan's first unsuccessful rocket launch since 2003.
