THESE 2 EUROPEAN TELESCOPES USE LASERS TO TRACK POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SPACE JUNK THESE 2 EUROPEAN TELESCOPES USE LASERS TO TRACK POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SPACE JUNK - Advanced laser systems at two European observatories are revolutionizing how space debris is monitored, enabling precise tracking of objects that might threaten operational satellites. Employing powerful laser beams and cutting‐edge telescopic technology, researchers can now detect and measure even small fragments of defunct spacecraft, which helps to forecast potential collisions in orbit. This innovative approach not only enhances the immediate safety of current space infrastructure but also informs strategies for long‐term debris mitigation and sustainable satellite operations in increasingly crowded orbital pathways.   More

NORTHROP GRUMMAN’S 1ST CYGNUS XL SPACECRAFT LAUNCHES ON CARGO RUN TO THE SPACE STATION NORTHROP GRUMMAN’S 1ST CYGNUS XL SPACECRAFT LAUNCHES ON CARGO RUN TO THE SPACE STATION - Northrop Grumman’s first Cygnus XL vehicle was jettisoned on its way to the International Space Station following a pre-sunset launch from Cape Canaveral Sunday evening. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket thundered off the pad at Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at 6:11 a.m. EDT (2211). About 8 minutes after taking off, the booster shook the Space Coast with a sonic boom as it touched down at Landing Zone 2 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.   More

PROGRESS 93 CARGO CRAFT DOCKS TO STATION RESUPPLYING CREW PROGRESS 93 CARGO CRAFT DOCKS TO STATION RESUPPLYING CREW - The unpiloted Progress 93 spacecraft arrived at aft port of the International Space Station’s Zvezda module at 1:23 p.m. EDT on Saturday. The Roscosmos spacecraft is delivering about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 73 crew aboard the space station. It will remain docked for approximately six months before departing for a re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.     More

DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, FAA CLEAR SPACEX TO LAUNCH UP TO 120 FALCON 9 ROCKETS ANNUALLY FROM CAPE CANAVERAL DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, FAA CLEAR SPACEX TO LAUNCH UP TO 120 FALCON 9 ROCKETS ANNUALLY FROM CAPE CANAVERAL - The Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of the Air Force gave the green light for SpaceX to more than double its launch cadence from its workhorse launch pad in Florida and construct a new landing zone for its Falcon rocket boosters. On Sept. 3, the FAA published documents supporting SpaceX’s proposal to launch up to 120 times using its Falcon 9 rocket at Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. It also gave the environmental thumbs up for SpaceX’s plan to construct a new landing zone adjacent to its launch pad.   More

NEW U.S. MILITARY SATELLITE CONSTELLATION TAKES SHAPE WITH FIRST LAUNCH FROM VANDENBERG SFB NEW U.S. MILITARY SATELLITE CONSTELLATION TAKES SHAPE WITH FIRST LAUNCH FROM VANDENBERG SFB - The Space Development Agency took a big step in realizing a new satellite constellation to support the various branches of the U.S. military and its allies. On Wednesday, the SDA, part of the U.S. Space Force (USSF), celebrated the successful launch and deployment of 21 communication satellites that are a part of the first generation or Tranche 1 of its Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture. This was the first in a series of six launches for what it calls the Transport Layer of space vehicles.   More

NEW U.S.-EUROPEAN SEA LEVEL SATELLITE WILL HELP SAFEGUARD SHIPS AT SEA NEW U.S.-EUROPEAN SEA LEVEL SATELLITE WILL HELP SAFEGUARD SHIPS AT SEA - Sea surface height data from the Sentinel-6B satellite, led by NASA and ESA, will help with the development of marine weather forecasts, alerting ships to possible dangers. Because most global trade travels by ship, accurate, timely ocean forecasts are essential. These forecasts provide crucial information about storms, high winds, and rough water, and they depend on measurements provided by instruments in the ocean and by satellites including Sentinel-6B, a joint mission led by NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) that will provide essential sea level and other ocean data after it launches this November.   More
