🚨🇨🇳 BREAKING: China successfully conducts the second launch of... its Gravity-1 rocket — one of the world’s most powerful solid-fuel launch vehicles. The offshore launch from Haiyang, Shandong Province, placed two satellites into orbit, marking another milestone for China’s growing commercial space program. Developed by private firm Orienspace, the 30-meter rocket can deliver over 6 tons to low-Earth orbit and uses solid propellant boosters for rapid, sea-based deployment.show more

SpaceX is building a giant air separation plant next... to Starbase. Buying rocket propellant ingredients by the truckload gets old when you plan to launch all the time. The plant will make liquid oxygen and nitrogen on-site. Less tanker traffic. Less waiting. More Starship operations. Classic SpaceX: Build the rocket. Then build the factory next door that boosts launches. SpaceX / Writer: Annette, Designer: Jannéshow more

This video shows a static fire test of the... Archimedes rocket engine, developed by Rocket Lab. Archimedes uses liquid methane (LCH.) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer, a combination known as methalox. During combustion, these cryogenic propellants produce extremely high temperatures (over 3,000°C), hotter than lava. To survive this, the engine circulates cold fuel through its walls before burning it, a technique called regenerative cooling. Multiple Archimedes engines will power Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket, which is being built to launch satellites and cargo to orbit with lower cost and higher reliability. Rocket Lab is best known for its Electron rocket and is now expanding into larger, reusable launch vehicles with Neutron.show more

India has successfully launched the Vikram-1 orbital-class rocket, developed... by a private company, for the first time The rocket delivered its payload into an orbit approximately 450 km above Earth. With this launch, India became the third country to achieve privately operated orbital launches.show more

This was one of the big problems for both... Ukraine and Russia: their dependence on rocket artillery systems. Unlike artillery shells, these rockets have a lifespan of 8-12 years until they are reconditioned and the propellant is replaced. In theory, this process can be repeated twice since other parts of the rocket would also degrade. Both Ukraine and Russia rushed to recondition their rockets, but many rockets over 30 years old were used in the war, causing failures like those seen in this video. Conventional artillery shells, depending on storage, can majority detonate even after 30 years, but rockets do not.show more

We’re investing £20M into Orbex Space’s Prime rocket to... become the first UK-manufactured and launched orbital rocket from SaxaVord Spaceport UK🚀 This will help strengthen our position as a major player in the space sector & become a leading small satellite launch provider in Europe.show more

A lightning strike hit a rocket during its launch... from a spaceport in China. The "Changzheng-3B" carrier rocket was struck by lightning immediately after liftoff from the Xichang spaceport. According to local media reports, the equipment was not damaged. This is not the first such incident; for example, the "Saturn-V" and "Soyuz-2" rockets were also struck by lightning without any consequences.show more

🚨 BIG: 🇮🇳 India is entering the race for... SpaceX-style reusable rockets. Chennai-based 🚀 Agnikul Cosmos has announced Mission-02 — aiming to attempt India’s first private recovery of an orbital-class rocket booster. The goal: Recover → Refurbish → Reuse. The upper stage could also be repurposed as an in-orbit platform instead of becoming space debris. With 3D-printed rocket engines, patents across 🇮🇳🇺🇸🇪🇺, and support from ISRO & IN-SPACe, India’s private space sector is moving fast. Alongside Skyroot’s Vikram-1, India is building a powerful Made in India space ecosystem. 🇮🇳🚀show more

China's first reusable rocket, Zhuque-3, sadly failed its maiden... flight. The first stage failed to recover during the landing, but the actual landing point was very close to the expected location. The second stage successfully entered the predetermined orbit. Failure is the mother of success. This is a brand new area for China's space program. Learn from this failure and wish for success next time!show more

🇮🇱🇮🇷 The massive explosion in Beit Shemesh was at... the Tomer Company, Israel's government defense firm that builds the rocket engines for Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 missile interceptors. The systems Israel uses to shoot down Iranian ballistic missiles. Here's why the "controlled explosion" explanation doesn't hold up: Controlled detonations require advance public notification. There was none. Emergency services were scrambled immediately to respond. You don't scramble emergency services to something that was planned. And the scale of the blast is consistent with one thing: rocket motor propellant or solid fuel igniting unexpectedly. Which makes complete sense for a facility that manufactures rocket propulsion systems. The most likely explanation: an accident during testing or production. But the timing is worth sitting with. Iran just escalated for the first time on its own terms, not in response to U.S. action, but initiating. A more emboldened Iran than the one that entered this ceasefire. An accident at Israel's most critical missile defense facility is the probable answer. Sabotage, at exactly this moment, at exactly this target, cannot be fully ruled out.show more

🚨BREAKING NEWS!!!🚨 Elon Musk has just loaded a SpaceX... rocket with Danny “Machete” Trejo who is tasked with abducting Nicolás Maduro and bringing him to Justice at Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp for crimes against democracy in Venezuela. Earlier this week Maduro challenged Elon Musk to a fight but then appeared to “chicken out” one news outlet claimed. Elon Musk then contacted Trejo in secret to board a SpaceX rocket to bring Maduro to justice “on a donkey.” It is unclear at this time if a donkey is on the rocket with Trejo. This story is developing in real time and represents the best facts we had available at the time of publication.show more

🇺🇸🇪🇺 SPACEX LAUNCHES EUROPE'S NEW WEATHER WATCHDOG Falcon 9... has successfully launched from Florida with the MTG-S1 satellite, part of EUMETSAT’s upgraded weather-tracking fleet. The satellite is now on its way to geostationary orbit to help Europe and Africa forecast storms, track lightning, and scan the skies in 3D every hour. Basically, it's a flying weather nerd that just got dropped off by Elon’s favorite rocket Uber. This marks the first "sounding" satellite of the MTG program, and it's already making meteorologists sweat with excitement. Source: SpaceXshow more

🚨BREAKING: HEZBOLLAH USE LARGE MISSILE FOR FIRST TIME THIS... WAR The explosion below is suspected to be ''Burkan" Missile from Hezbollah.

The Burkan, also known as “The Volcano”, has a range of 500-2,000 meters and can carry explosive warheads that weigh hundreds of kilograms. The video below shows the rocket being used in a different conflict. Is this a warning to Israel, or is it indicating an intention to escalate? Source: Yedioth Newspapershow more
