A team of astronomers released a new study explaining how satellite constellation projects such as SpaceX’s Starlink are harming ground-based astronomy. This is the latest move by astronomers to criticize the effects of thousands of satellites in low-Earth orbit.
A cybersecurity expert warned how vulnerable orbiting satellites are to getting hacked. Once this happens, these robotic spacecraft could be used to carry out attacks on Earth and space-based facilities such as the International space station.
The crewed spaceflight will be a milestone for the spaceflight company.
NASA has awarded a new $80-million contract to SpaceX earlier this month. It focuses on a new mission that aims to study the ecosystems of Earth’s oceans.
“Right now, we are a private company, but Starlink is the right kind of business that we can go ahead and take public,” says SpaceX COO.
The company is using an Uber-like rideshare model for rocket launches.
SpaceX’s ambitious Starlink satellite constellation project is in danger of getting shut down after a group of astronomers threatened to file legal action against the Elon Musk’s company. According to members of the group, they would like to stop the full launch of the project due to its effects on the night sky.
An animation by Analytical Graphics, Inc.'s Dan Oltrogge illustrates what the Earth's orbit would look like if all 57,000 planned satellites for the decade would really be launched by 2029. The result is a cluttered Earth orbit littered with satellites.
Elon Musk drops surprise techno track
SpaceX recently blew up the tank of Starship, which is the company’s spacecraft designed to provide commercial crewed flights to Mars.
For the first time in history, an international satellite that will study the Earth was named after an American scientist. It is also only the second mission ever named after a living person.
Space tourism is increasingly probable with decreasing cost of spaceships and reusable rockets.
A cost-effective instrument developed by a private aerospace company is preparing to head back into space to clean the debris orbiting Earth.
SpaceX CEO and founder, Elon Musk, is excited after the success of Crew Dragon in-flight abort mission test.
SpaceX has confirmed that it will proceed with the launch of the latest batch of Starlink satellites later this week. The company made the confirmation after carrying out a pre-launch test with its Falcon 9 rocket.
The space exploration company tested its Dragon crew escape system successfully on Sunday.
Neil deGrasse Tyson’s previous interview with television personality Larry King showed the astrophysicist harshly criticizing Elon Musk’s plan to colonize Mars. He noted that he’s really skeptical about the success of SpaceX’s plans for the Red Planet.
Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX will conduct its first human spaceflight with the Crew Dragon spacecraft sometime during the second quarter of the year. Musk made the statement following the successful abort test of Crew Dragon on Sunday.
SpaceX in 'perfect' test of Crew Dragon emergency abort system
SpaceX delayed the important launch abort test due to bad weather on Saturday.
The in-flight abort test of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon is scheduled to take off this Saturday from Florida.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter Saturday to announce that the crucial test launch before sending astronauts is good to go.
