The PAZ-2 system will have significant technological improvements compared to […]

A new study urges the United States to urgently begin developing space-based nuclear power systems, in order to keep up with global rivals - in particular, China and Russia, who are already working together on a megawatt nuclear facility for their future lunar project. A report called Weighing the Future: Strategic Options for U.S. Space Nuclear Leadership, prepared by Bhavya Lal (former deputy administrator of NASA […]

In June 2025 Finnish company ICEYE provided the government of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) critical satellite information for rapid response to large-scale flooding. Thanks to the technology of radar imaging with a synthesized aperture (SAR), ICEYE was able to quickly map the inundation zone even under dense cloud cover, a traditional problem during inclement weather. Technologies, that save lives Flood Solutions service combined the data […]

16 July 2025 year Fr. 06:30 (UTC) from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, with the help of the "Falcon" launch vehicle 9 Block 5 ”was launched 24 KA USA "Project Kuiper (KF-01)». «Project Kuiper (KF-01)» – This is a mega-constellation of satellites in a low Earth orbit, which will provide broadband online access, analogue of the American Starlink system. To manage this constellation will be Kuiper […]

NASA has identified three science instruments to support the Artemis lunar exploration program. Two of them are intended for use on the Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), and one is reserved for a future lunar orbit mission. LTV, which is part of the Artemis campaign, will be the first manned rover on the surface of the moon in the last half century. This device, designed […]

US President Donald Trump turned on $1 billion for the X-37B spacecraft program in his "One Big Beautiful Bill Act", which provides new funding for the US Space Force. X-37B, або Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) is reusable, mostly classified apparatus, which has already made seven flights and serves as a testing ground for technologies, maneuvering, air braking and means of observation […]
