India's Satellites In Space Dance, 500km Above Earth At 28,800 Kmph
A rare celestial dance is being orchestrated by the Indian Space Research Organisation - two satellites - flying at 28,800 kilometers per hour or speeds ten times that of a bullet - are circling each other in precision formation flight.

NASA, Boeing To Start Testing Starliner For Next Flight Aimed At Early 2026
NASA said it was moving toward certifying Boeing's CST-100 Starliner for crewed flights later this year or by early 2026 after its inaugural mission to the International Space Station was marred by a system fault.

NASA Plans Another Starliner Test Flight Amid Propulsion System Challenges
NASA is considering another test flight for Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner before it is used for crew rotations to the International Space Station. Reports suggest that propulsion system issues, including helium leaks and thruster failures, are still being investigated. NASA’s Steve Stich has stated that Boeing is testing new seals and propulsion c...

Artemis II Orion Service Module Secured for Launch at Kennedy Space Center
NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft is a step closer to its mission around the Moon. Three spacecraft adapter jettison fairings have been installed on its service module at Kennedy Space Center. These panels will protect the solar arrays from heat, wind, and acoustic forces during launch. Once in space, they will detach, allowing the arrays to dep...

New Study Challenges Claims of Vast Underground Water on Mars
Mars’ water history remains a mystery as new research questions the claim that vast amounts of water are stored beneath its surface. A study led by Bruce Jakosky argues that previous estimates of Mars’ mid-crust being saturated with liquid water may be inaccurate. The findings challenge earlier interpretations of seismic data from NASA’s InSi...

SpaceX Sets Falcon 9 Reuse Record with NROL-57 Launch from Vandenberg
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launched the classified NROL-57 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking the shortest turnaround between launches for a reused booster at just over nine days. The first stage had previously carried NASA’s SPHEREx and PUNCH probes. This mission is part of the National Reconnaissance Office’s proliferated architecture...

Pulsar Fusion’s Nuclear Fusion Rockets May Revolutionise Space Travel
UK-based Pulsar Fusion has revealed plans for Sunbird, a nuclear fusion-powered rocket that could change space exploration. The company says this technology could reduce travel time to Mars and beyond by half. Sunbirds will act as space tugs, attaching to spacecraft in orbit and propelling them further. Initial tests will be conducted in vacuum cha...

ISRO and IIT Madras Unveil Research Centre for Space Thermal Sciences
ISRO and IIT Madras have launched the S Ramakrishnan Centre of Excellence for Research in Fluid and Thermal Sciences. The facility, inaugurated on 17 March 2025, will focus on spacecraft cooling, fluid dynamics, and cryogenic engine advancements. Housed in IIT Madras’ Department of Mechanical Engineering, it will facilitate collaboration between ...

Supernova Remnants Found in Oceanic Samples, Scientists Look to Moon
Scientists have identified supernova debris in deep-sea sediments, including a rare plutonium isotope linked to a kilonova. Researchers believe a neutron star collision occurred nearly 10 million years ago, scattering radioactive material across space. To validate this theory, they plan to analyze lunar soil, which remains undisturbed by Earth's ge...
