Let TVAC testing begin! Our FLIP rover hit an... important milestone today on its path to the lunar surface. Our Moon-bound rover rolled into thermal vacuum chamber testing at Element Materials Technology's facility in Los Angeles. For the next two weeks, the rover will undergo tests in a variety of temperatures, ensuring hardware is ready for the conditions that await on the Moon.show more

Hey NASA Just wondering what this Fly is doing... in this unedited clip of your Mars Rover on the Surface of Mars. Is it:- A) You discovered life on Mars & flies are now known to exist on the planet? Or B) You filmed this on Earth, inadvertently recorded the Fly & are trying to pretend this is from the surface of Mars?show more

The gridfin on the right seems to have locked... up during todays landing, luckily the booster had sufficient control authority to compensate for this and land successfully.show more

China on Thursday announced that it has successfully completed... a comprehensive test for the landing and take off of its manned lunar lander "Lanyue" at a test site in Huailai County in the northern Chinese province of Hebei. The "Lanyue" lunar lander is a newly developed extraterrestrial manned descent and ascent vehicle for China's first manned lunar exploration mission, which is primarily designed for transporting astronauts between lunar orbit and the lunar surface. The lander can carry two astronauts on round trips and is equipped to transport a lunar rover and scientific payloads, supporting astronauts in conducting surface activities and extended stays on the moon.show more

🚀 CHINA JUST TOOK A MAJOR STEP TOWARD REUSABLE... ROCKETS China successfully launched the Zhuque-3 reusable rocket on August 19, and, for the first time, successfully landed an orbital-class first-stage booster on land using landing legs. The rocket was developed by Chinese private space company LandSpace, whose previous Zhuque-3 recovery attempt in December 2025 failed during landing.show more

NEWS: SpaceX has released a statement after today's successful... 11th Starship test flight. "Every major objective of the flight test was achieved, providing valuable data as we prepare the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy. The flight test began with Super Heavy igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf. The successful first-stage ascent was followed by a hot-staging maneuver, with Starship’s upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to continue its flight to space. Following stage separation, the Super Heavy booster completed its boostback burn to put it on a course to a pre-planned splashdown zone off the coast of Texas using 12 of the 13 planned engines. Under the same angle of attack tested on the previous flight, the booster descended until successfully igniting all 13 planned engines (including one that did not relight during the boostback burn) for the high-thrust portion of the landing burn. The booster successfully executed a unique landing burn planned for use on the next generation booster. Super Heavy hovered above the water before shutting down its engines and splashing down. After completing a full-duration ascent burn, Starship achieved its planned velocity and trajectory. During flight, Starship successfully deployed eight Starlink simulators and executed the third in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a critical capability for future deorbit burns. Starship re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and was able to gather extensive data on the performance of its heatshield as it was intentionally stressed to test the limits of the vehicle’s capabilities. In the final minutes of flight, Starship performed a dynamic banking maneuver to mimic the trajectory that future missions returning to Starbase will fly. Starship then guided itself using its four flaps to the pre-planned splashdown zone in the Indian Ocean, successfully executing a landing flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown. Focus now turns to the next generation of Starship and Super Heavy, with multiple vehicles currently in active build and preparing for tests. This next iteration will be used for the first Starship orbital flights, operational payload missions, propellant transfer, and more as we iterate to a fully and rapidly reusable vehicle with service to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond."show more

MARS ROVER CAPTURES STUNNING NEW FOOTAGE ON SOL 1688... AMID SEARCH FOR SIGNS OF LIFE NASA’s Perseverance rover is still rolling across the Martian surface, snapping high-def footage like a pro using its Right Mastcam-Z camera. This latest video was taken on Sol 1688, as the rover continues its mission to search for ancient microbial life in Jezero Crater. It’s not just about pretty rocks: every frame helps scientists understand Mars’ history, climate, and whether it was ever home to life. So yeah, it's dusty, it’s dry... but it’s also science history in the making. Source: Black Holeshow more
