Virgin Orbit has ticked off another milestone for its fledgling launch business, successfully carrying out its first night-time mission over the weekend and deploying satellites into low-Earth orbit. The flight is the first of three the company will ca… Continue reading Virgin Orbit carries out its first night mission for the US Space Force
South Korea’s domestically developed KSLV-2 “Nuri” rocket successfully placed six payloads into low Earth orbit Tuesday, after lifting off from from Naro Space Center at 4 PM KST. This follows …read more Continue reading South Korea’s KSLV-2 Rocket Delivers Payloads to Orbit

Military officials and civilian security researchers have been warning us for years: cyberattacks are becoming a very real part of modern warfare. Far from being limited to military targets, cyberattacks …read more Continue reading The Great Euro Sat Hack Should Be a Warning to Us All
SpinLaunch has released on-board footage from its eighth suborbital flight test, giving us a unique opportunity to imagine what it’d be like to be hurled skyward out of a centrifugal accelerator at more than a thousand miles per hour.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading New video gives first-person view of what it’s like to be SpinLaunched
The field of space vehicle design is obsessed with efficiency by necessity. The cost to do anything in space is astronomical, and also heavily tied to launch weight. Thus, any …read more Continue reading Mercury Thrusters: A Worldwide Disaster Averted Just In Time
Rockets are expensive, complex, bad for the environment and prone to occasionally exploding – so alternative launch technologies are popping up to reduce their use. We wrote about SpinLaunch’s remarkable kinetic launch system earlier this week, which s… Continue reading Hypersonic space cannon promises 10 minutes from ground to orbit
Hacking these days means everything from someone guessing your password and spamming your contacts with toxic links, to wide-scale offensive cyberattacks against infrastructure by sophisticated operators backed by nation states. …read more Continue reading Hacking an Experimental ESA Satellite
NASA has signed up to test SpinLaunch’s extraordinary whirl ‘n’ hurl space launch technology, which accelerates a launch vehicle to hypersonic speeds using an electric centrifuge instead of a rocket, hurling it skyward like a space discus.Continue Read… Continue reading NASA will test SpinLaunch’s ability to fling satellites into orbit
Researchers at UCLA have discovered a new form of space weather – superfast electron rains that precipitate into the atmosphere from the radiation belts. The team says the events could affect satellites, spacecraft and astronauts, but aren’t accounted … Continue reading Superfast electron rains detected pouring down onto Earth
