SpaceX Falcon 9's second engine failed, leading to the deployment of 20 Starlink satellites in a lower-than-intended orbit. These satellites are at risk of crashing, but SpaceX is attempting to salvage them.
The test flight was expected to last a week or so, enough time for Wilmore and Williams to check out the capsule while docked at the station. But problems with the capsule's propulsion system, used to maneuver the spacecraft, prompted NASA and Boeing to delay the flight home several times.
A team of Indian scientists has made a significant contribution to the field of astronomy by developing an open-source tool designed to generate an infrared star catalogue. This tool is specifically created for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), a highly anticipated telescope.
NASA has recently alerted the public about a significant asteroid named 2024 MT1, which is hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 65,215 km/h. Measuring about 260 feet in diameter—comparable in size to the Statue of Liberty—this asteroid has captured the attention of scientists and space enthusiasts.
The spacecraft, which was inserted into orbit on January 6, underwent three station-keeping manoeuvres on February 22, June 7, and July 2 to counteract perturbing forces and ensure its transition into the second halo orbit.
The US-based Space Exploration and Research Agency (SERA) and Blue Origin have unveiled an exciting collaboration with India as a partner nation in their human spaceflight program. This initiative aims to make space travel more accessible.
Earlier reports claimed that astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were stranded on the International Space Station (ISS). However, NASA and Boeing officials have now denied these reports.
Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, NASA astronauts who reached the ISS on June 6 are stuck at the International Space Station (ISS) due to ongoing issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft which is responsible to take them back to Earth. They were suppose to return after 8-days mission.
Boeing's Starliner capsule’s homecoming is on hold as NASA announces the need for further technical reviews. This postponement gives engineers more time to analyze recent issues encountered by the capsule, which is currently carrying astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore.
This NASA space probe was launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets. It encountered a problem in November of last year, and the team identified the root cause of the problem in April of this year.
Researchers at MIT have developed a groundbreaking device that revolutionizes the way doctors monitor for life-threatening infections in cancer patients. Instead of relying on traditional blood draws, this innovative device utilizes light to penetrate the skin at the top of the fingernail.
The broadcast, which aired at 5:28 p.m. U.S. Central Time (2228 GMT), included audio of a female voice instructing crew members to assist a commander showing signs of decompression sickness.
On May 17, 2024, SUIT started taking pictures of Sun and provided important data to ISRO and other scientist around the world. The captured images are important for scientists to analyze the aftermath of the solar storms and the Sun's ongoing activity.
Boeing Starliner spacecraft was commanded by Butch Wilmore and Sunita Wiliams was the pilot of the spacecraft. The Starliner mission aims to carry astronauts and cargo for future NASA missions to low Earth orbit, and beyond.
The world's biggest and most powerful rocket had its fourth launch, reaching nearly 400 feet (121 meters) tall. The first three flight attempts ended in explosions, but this time the rocket and spacecraft successfully splashed down in a controlled manner.
Boeing launched its first astronauts to the International Space Station aboard a Starliner capsule on Wednesday, joining a select club of spacecraft that have carried humans beyond Earth.
The Chang'e-6 mission in human lunar exploration aims to collect and return samples from the moon's far side for the first time. It has achieved significant advancements in the design and control technology of the lunar retrograde orbit.
SpaceX is preparing to launch the fourth test flight of its Starship rocket on June 6. This test flight, incorporating numerous improvements, is scheduled to lift off at 7 a.m. CT from SpaceX’s Starbase facility near Boca Chica Beach in S. Texas.
NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were strapped in the Starliner capsule when a computer abruptly aborted the launch countdown. Boeing's planned crewed test flight has faced a series of delays amid competition with Elon Musk's SpaceX.
Currently, Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin have missions for space tourism. However, SpaceX did not have a mission of its own. Musk said that the company will enable anyone to travel to the Moon and Mars in the future.
