On January 3, during the Transporter-6 mission, SpaceX launched into space not only the Ukrainian nanosatellite PolyITAN-HP-30, but also the first satellite of the EOSDA constellation of the EOS Data Analytics company. It is a product company operating in the field of commercial space, with a head office in the USA and development centers in […]
Physicists from the University of Rochester set themselves the task of developing a practical method of creating a space in space in which people could live peacefully without the costly launch of the necessary materials from Earth. A paper in the journal Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, which the researchers called “wildly theoretical,” explores […]
Promin Aerospace, a small launch vehicle startup, was founded in 2021. Promin continues to plan to conduct the first test of its own small satellite launch technology early next year, despite the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war. ‘Over the past 10 months, we have done a lot of research, development and production, and in August, we hired […]
China and the United States compete in many areas, and it looks like the moon could become another point of contention for the two nations.

Astronomers from Johns Hopkins University have created an interactive map of the universe that allows you to look at more than 200,000 galaxies. The map, which can be found on its own website, is one of the first times the public has had access to such a body of data. This data was previously available […]
NASA’s $324.5 million DART mission, which launched last year, is nearing its dramatic climax — on the night of September 27, one of the automated probes is expected to collide with the asteroid satellite Dimorphos at a speed of 6,258.56 m/s. This is the first attempt by mankind to deflect an astronomical object in this […]
The National Science Foundation (NSF) of the USA summarized the first months of operation of the largest ground-based telescope for observing the Sun – the Solar Telescope named after Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) with a mirror with a diameter of 4.24 m. In honor of this, two spectacular images of the star, the […]
The James Webb Space Telescope of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States was used by astronomers for the first time to obtain images of a planet outside the Solar System. The announcement was published on the official website of the aerospace department. ‘For the first time, astronomers used NASA’s James […]
According to the Reuters resource, the European Space Agency (ESA) has started preliminary technical discussions with the SpaceX company in order to use its rockets. The fact is that due to Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine, European countries lost access to Soviet Soyuz missiles, on which the Russian government parasitize. The American company has become […]
China successfully launched an experimental reusable spacecraft on Friday to test technologies that will help support activities in space. This is reported by the state media of China. The spacecraft was launched on a Long March-2F rocket from the Jiuquan Cosmodrome in Inner Mongolia. It is expected to return to the target landing site after […]
