Solar panel deployment testing underway!🛰️ For this DoD mission,... our Elytra orbiter will perform a series of responsive maneuvers and space domain awareness in low Earth orbit as part of the Defense Innovation Unit Sinequone Project.show more

We’re announcing two new partnerships to bring innovative energy... generation and storage to our data centers: 1/ 🛰️ Space Solar: Partnering with Overview Energy to beam up to 1 GW of space solar power from orbit to Earth for around the clock power production.show more

Project Suncatcher has liftoff! ☀️🚀 Announced last year, this... moonshot project explores if we can one day host machine learning infrastructure in space. After years of research, we’ve just launched a prototype satellite, built in partnership with Planet, into orbit on SpaceX's Transporter-18 rideshare mission. This initial mission will gather data on how Google TPUs handle the physical stress and extremes of spaceflight. Ultimately, these findings will help us explore how to potentially link multiple satellite constellations for scaled machine learning. By operating in low Earth orbit, these systems can tap into near-constant sunlight to generate up to 8x more solar power than on Earth.show more

Mission success. Payload deployment confirmed for @open_cosmos. Welcome to... orbit! 🛰️🚀show more

This video captures 90 minutes of exposure time of... our night sky and star trails, representing a full orbit in low-Earth orbit—the future home of Haven-1.show more

HEO x Planet We're integrating Planet's SkySat constellation into... our Non-Earth Imaging network, pushing our sensor network past 50 in-orbit sensors for faster revisit rates and more consistent imaging for space domain awareness customers. Full release:show 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

The first low earth orbit Space Hotels will take... occupancy before this decade is through.show more

Watch our Blue Ghost Mission 2 lunar lander come... together! This timelapse captures the assembly of our lander's main structural and fluid components. Next up, integrating avionics, payloads, and engines. Our Riders 2 the Dark mission features two vehicles: our Blue Ghost lander stacked atop our Elytra orbiter. Each is assembled separately before stacking at the launch site, creating a 22-foot-tall spacecraft—more than 3X the height of our Mission 1 lander. Stay tuned for Elytra stacking in the coming weeks!show more

A single 93km solar array in orbit would generate... as much electricity as every country on earth combined. The future of industry is in orbit.show more

LIFTOFF! Launch of our latest hypersonic test mission from... Virginia, the "That's Not A Knife" mission for Department of War Innovation Unit and Hypersonix Launch Systemsshow more

Why is Google putting AI chips in orbit? Because... up there, a solar panel almost never sees night. Our latest drop lets you design the satellite’s orbit yourself, and race a ground panel against one in space. Try Tromsø in December. Built with Lovableshow more

This is what the James Webb Telescope’s orbit looks... like. Instead of orbiting our planet, the telescope will orbit the Sun, remaining in line with the Earth near a position in space known as the second Lagrange point (L2)—at a distance of approximately 1.5 million kilometers from us.show more

Mars, we're coming for you! 🔴 🛰️ 🛰️ Soon,... our twin Explorer spacecraft built for NASA & Space Sciences Laboratory ESCAPADE mission will begin their journey to the Red Planet to study the history of its climate. The mission will study how the solar wind interacts with Mars’ magnetic environment and how this interaction drives the planet’s atmospheric escape, revealing how Mars changed from warm and wet to the cold, dry world we see today. By flying two spacecraft in different orbits around Mars, ESCAPADE will get a dual viewpoint to solve the mystery of Mars' atmospheric escape. It’s a low-cost mission delivering high-impact science.show more
