Major anomaly being reported with the static fire of Blue Origin’s NG-4 vehicle. Video from NASA Spaceflight is showing rapid disassembly of the vehicle approximately 5 seconds after GS-1 ignition. Significant damage is also being reported at LC-36. https://lnkd.in/gK9WEqsP

NASA’s new High Performance Spaceflight Computing processor represents a major leap in space technology. Designed to withstand extreme radiation and temperatures, this AI-powered system could enable spacecraft to process data and make decisions independently, reducing reliance on Earth-based control. #ArtificialIntelligence #SpaceInnovation #Aerospace #TechnologyLeadership #DigitalTransformation

⏩ Collecting samples in space is far more difficult than it sounds. With almost no gravity, a spacecraft cannot simply grab a rock and rely on its weight to keep it in place. NASA's solution was a robotic gripper equipped with hundreds of tiny flexible spines. Instead of squeezing an object, the spines latch onto microscopic cracks and surface irregularities, distributing the load across many contact points. The approach allows spacecraft and robots to securely grip rocks and rough surfaces while minimizing the forces that could push them away from their target. 📹Credit=owner #Waseem Rehman

One of the most surprising facts about space is how close it actually is. The internationally recognised boundary of space - the Kármán Line -begins at just 100 kilometres above Earth's surface. That’s closer than many people imagine, and in some ways, closer than the distances we routinely cover on Earth. The challenge of space exploration has never been reaching space. The real challenge is what comes next: → achieving orbital velocity → sustaining life and systems in extreme environments → building reliable, mission-critical technologies → creating long-term access to space As India enters a defining decade for aerospace and space technology, understanding the science behind spaceflight is just as important as celebrating its achievements. At Astramile Aerospace, we believe the future of aerospace begins with curiosity, engineering excellence, and a commitment to continuous learning. Because every great mission starts with understanding the fundamentals. 🇮🇳🚀 #IndianAerospace #SpaceTechnology #SpaceTechIndia #AerospaceEngineering #AstramileAerospace

🚀 Since our inception, we've been passionate about helping humanity reach the limits of what’s possible. That commitment is reflected in our more than 25 years of involvement in space missions. From enabling planetary exploration, to advancing human spaceflight and deep-space observation through telescopes, to supporting critical space infrastructure and weather tracking technologies, our work spans the full spectrum of space innovation.

As of May 2026, NASA has restructured Artemis III from a crewed lunar landing to a low-Earth orbit (LEO) demonstration mission. The official target is "no earlier than late 2027."

"This Week in Spaceflight" is a weekly spaceflight news show on NASASpaceflight LLC, where we break down the launches, missions, policy developments, and industry milestones shaping the future of space exploration. Updates from this week: 🚀 Blue Origin outlined plans to return New Glenn to flight before the end of the year following last week’s launch pad explosion, while cleanup and recovery efforts continue at Launch Complex 36. 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 Vast signed agreements that could send French and British astronauts to orbit, including potential Haven-1 missions featuring Thomas Pesquet, Arnaud Prost, and potentially John McFall. 🌙 Astrolab’s FLIP rover was integrated onto Astrobotic’s Griffin lunar lander as Voyager Technologies announced plans to acquire Astrobotic. 🛰️ NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration reversed course on its proposed ISS-attached “core module” strategy and reaffirmed support for commercially developed space stations through the Commercial LEO Destinations program. 🚀 Rocket Lab completed its first integration of an Archimedes engine with Neutron’s thrust structure, bringing the company another step closer to launch. We also covered the end of NASA’s MAVEN mission, Artemis III booster shipments to Kennedy Space Center, United Launch Alliance (ULA)’s first 85K Centaur stage for Amazon missions, Latitude’s Navier engine hot-fire testing, The Exploration Company’s successful Nyx parachute drop test, China’s surprise debut of the Chang Zheng 12B rocket, and this week’s global launch activity. 📺 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eCyk-WQv #Spaceflight #SpaceNews #CommercialSpace #Aerospace #NASA #SpaceIndustry #RocketLaunch #Exploration #ScienceCommunication #SpaceTech

VENTURI Space commits €250M to build a lunar and Martian mobility technology center in Toulouse, a strategic investment that will create nearly 200 high-skilled jobs by 2030 and accelerate rover technology for NASA Artemis and European lunar programs. Toulouse is positioning itself as a European hub for lunar mobility. Full article: https://wix.to/l5dKeaF #SpaceIndustry #Aerospace #R&D #EconomicDevelopment

Touch down! 👏 Southern Launch has seen the safe return of the fourth capsule to the Koonibba Test Range in just over a year. 🎉 The W-6 capsule from Varda Space Industries returned to the range on Tuesday 19 May, bringing payloads from NASA and US-based partners back to Earth. This return is another key milestone of the partnership between Southern Launch and Varda, which planned 20 spacecraft returns to Koonibba by 2028.
