👀 Kall Morris Inc.’s REACCH system capturing a target... object during testing on the ISS. Instead of a single small satellite test, the team completed 172 test runs, validating the system for debris removal and in-orbit relocation: #SpaceDebris #ISSshow more

Docking? ✅ Our Blue Docking System team successfully completed... soft capture system testing at @NASA_Johnson's Six-Degree-Of-Freedom Dynamic Test facility. This test completes a key milestone on our Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD) contract. The fully vertically integrated system will fly first on our Blue Moon MK2 Lunar Lander, then on Orbital Reef and future vehicles. This marks the first time we have confirmed the performance of our pressurized docking system in flight-like scenarios, meeting International Docking System Standard requirements.show more

The ISS CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN IN ORBIT FOR...

Huey Crashes During Flight Test On December 2, 1977,... a U.S. Army UH-1H Huey crashed while attempting an autorotation landing during flight testing of the experimental MULTEWS (Multiple Target Electronic Warfare System) at Edwards Air Force Base. The externally mounted MULTEWS significantly degraded the helicopter's performance and handling, leading to the termination of the flight test program. Both pilots suffered broken backs but recovered and returned to flying just a few months later.show more

Five for flying! #TeamBoeing completed a first for our... test fleet: five 777-9 jets airborne in 24 hours. During the two-day campaign, the team conducted systems, propulsion and interior tests and reached a first-flight milestone. They completed six flights, nearly 18 hours of flight testing and additional ground tests.show more

Another one in the books - the New Glenn... team just finished NG-2's aft module activation test. This test activates the hydrogen peroxide system that powers the aft module hydraulics and conducts a shortened mission simulation of the integrated system. The four auxiliary power units, or APUs, produce a combined peak of 1,000 horsepower to drive the hydraulic pumps, roughly equivalent to the power of a modern F1 car. Next, we will mate the aft module to the rest of GS1 and install our seven BE-4 engines.show more

❗️ A hunt for a Ukrainian Armed Forces anti-aircraft... missile system begins in Kharkiv According to "Chronicles of Geraney", a missile strike from the "Tornado-S" system hit a target in the Kominternovsky district of the city. In response, an air defense system was deployed directly from the city. Now, the enemy's "anti-aircraft system" will be hunted down until it is captured. - UARUshow more

The #XOCIETY team is still cooking, no breaks here.... In our upcoming test, we’ll be focusing on two key goals: - Optimizing cross-play between #SuiPlay0X1 and PC - Validating how players earn $XO tokens through gameplay This will be a crucial step in testing the core systems ahead of launch. We’re also preparing a meaningful $XO prize pool for community members who participate in the test. Eligible rewards will be made available for immediate claim. XOCIETY SuiPlay Suishow more

🚨 A tiny quantum device aboard the ISS just... monitored Earth’s magnetic field for 10 months straight. And it’s powered by defects inside a diamond. Scientists built a cube-sized quantum sensor using “nitrogen-vacancy” centers inside diamond crystals — atomic imperfections so sensitive they can detect tiny magnetic changes from orbit. No giant satellite. No massive power system. Just a 420-gram quantum instrument surviving the harshness of space. This could completely change: • space weather forecasting • navigation systems • Earth monitoring • future satellite swarms • quantum sensing in orbit What’s fascinating is that the future of space technology may depend less on bigger machines… and more on controlling matter at the atomic level. The quantum era is starting to leave the laboratory. Follow for more future physics and frontier technology.show more

NEWS: For the first time, SpaceX's Dragon capsule just... successfully performed a reboot demo using its Draco thrusters to alter the International Space Station's altitude. NASA gave SpaceX the contract to deorbit the ISS & send it into the ocean at the end of its lifetime in 2031. The Dragon capsule fired its Draco thrusters for ~12.5 minutes today to adjust the station’s orbit. Here is a video of the test today:show more

Our flight controls software is ready for system integration... testing, bringing us one step closer to Midnight’s first piloted flight. Archer’s engineers test our software across a wide range of conditions and locations—simulating the kinds of situations that pilots may encounter in the field.show more

After hydraulic issues in Shanghai hurt braking balance, the team chose Monza’s heavy braking zones to refine the system for Miami and ensure top speed gains don't compromise the SF-26's stability. 📰 AutoRacer ITshow more

Our Blue Ghost Mission 2 milestones are stacking up...... 22 feet to be exact! The team completed structure qualification testing at NASA JPL on our fully stacked Blue Ghost lander and Elytra Dark orbiter model. After a series of vibration and acoustic tests, this milestone helps prove our spacecraft are equipped to withstand the intense environments they’ll experience during launch and in transit to the Moon. Congrats to the team and thanks JPL for the hospitality at y'alls historic test facility. More on the mission here:show more
