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.

The United Launch Alliance Atlas V has arrived on the launch pad for its midnight ride to low Earth orbit tonight, continuing the rocket's workhorse service in helping deploy the Amazon Leo constellation. ULA's Atlas has launched more than half of the network's satellites so far. ULA is proceeding with a continuous roll-and-launch in a single-day countdown, part of our efforts to increase launch cadence for our Amazon Leo customer. This effort reduces the amount of time the rocket spends at the pad, enabling launch to occur sooner. Liftoff time is 12:24 a.m. EDT (0424 UTC). // Amazon Leo

🇵🇰🚀 Pakistan Completes EO-3 Launch, Accelerating Its Satellite Constellation Drive Pakistan has successfully placed its PRSC EO-3 Earth Observation Satellite into orbit, marking a significant step in the country’s expanding space programme. The satellite, developed domestically by SUPARCO, was launched from China’s Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, underscoring a model of local manufacturing supported by external launch capability. EO-3 completes a three satellite Earth Observation series: ◽EO-1 (2025) ◽EO-2 (February 2026) ◽EO-3 (latest launch) Together, they form the backbone of a planned integrated Earth Observation system aimed at improving data availability and coverage. Pakistan now operates 5+ Earth observation satellites, with most deployed in the last two years, highlighting a noticeable acceleration in activity. Officials describe the programme as part of a broader shift: 📡 From isolated missions → to a coordinated satellite network From external reliance → to increasing data independence 🚀 From slow launches → to a structured rollout strategy The EO-3 mission also reflects continued technical cooperation with China, particularly in launch services. With additional satellites expected in the coming years, Pakistan appears to be moving toward a multi satellite constellation designed for regular, wide area monitoring. The direction is clear: a steady build up rather than a one off achievement.

Launching everything from Earth becomes an expensive way to do space. SpaceX's path to petawatt-scale power for AI is mass drivers on the Moon. With 1/6 of Earth’s gravity and no atmosphere, a giant electromagnetic launcher could fling solar-powered AI compute into space using electricity instead of burning rocket fuel every single time. Build with lunar materials, launch from the Moon, then use near-constant sunlight to power enormous amounts of compute. The Moon stops being somewhere we visit and starts becoming somewhere we build from. SpaceX / Writer: Annette, Grok Imagine Designer: Janné

During training, you visit many of the facilities that will eventually play a role in your mission. Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A was one of them. This visit felt different. Standing at the base of the tower and looking up, I was reminded that this is the very place from which Neil Armstrong and his crewmates began their journey to the Moon. The facility has evolved over the decades and has been modernized for a new era of spaceflight, but it still carries the weight of its history. You can feel it. Then there is the elevator. Inside, there are only two buttons: Earth and Space. A simple design choice, perhaps, but one that feels remarkably profound when launch day finally arrives. What you see here is me at the top of the launch pad, with the Falcon 9 yet to make its way out. The rocket is transported to the pad horizontally and then raised to a vertical position before launch. Standing there, it was impossible not to imagine the events that would soon unfold. At this very time last year, all of this was happening in real time. Looking back now, it feels both distant and incredibly close. #shux #space #shubhanshushukla #india #axiom4

🇺🇸🇨🇳 ORBITAL LAUNCHES IN 2025: USA AND CHINA DOMINATE, NEW ZEALAND TIES RUSSIA WITH 17 The orbital launch race in 2025 was a clear two-horse show: the United States and China led the pack by a massive margin, while New Zealand quietly matched Russia with 17 successful launches to orbit. From 1957 to 2025, the cumulative chart tells the story of space history: the USA towers at 1,185 attempts (far ahead), China surged in recent years to 93 in 2025 alone, Russia/USSR historically strong but slowed to 17 this year, India steady at 13, and New Zealand's Rocket Lab driving its impressive 17, matching Russia's total despite the vast difference in resources. The "Other" category includes smaller players, but the gap is stark: USA and China alone accounted for the overwhelming majority of activity in 2025. This shift highlights the changing space landscape, private companies like Rocket Lab punching way above their weight, while traditional powers adjust to new realities. 2025 was a year of acceleration, and 2026 looks set to push even further.

🚨ARTEMIS II UPDATE - NASA Repairs Helium Flow Issue Inside VAB; Preparing For SLS Rollout After returning to the VAB on February 25th; NASA engineers traced the helium flow issue to a seal inside a quick disconnect in the launch vehicle stage adapter. The seal had obstructed the pathway that allows helium to flow from ground systems into the upper stage. Technicians removed and reassembled the quick disconnect hardware and have already begun validating the repair by running helium at a reduced flow rate through the system. Engineers are now assessing what caused the seal to become dislodged to ensure the issue does not recur. Meanwhile, additional work is underway across the vehicle: • Activating a new set of Flight Termination System (FTS) batteries ahead of full retesting • Replacing flight batteries on the upper stage, core stage, and solid rocket boosters • Charging Orion’s Launch Abort System batteries • Replacing a seal on the core stage liquid oxygen feed system (work began March 2) • Preparing to reassemble the oxygen tail service mast umbilical plate and conduct integrity testing Teams will continue work in the coming weeks as NASA prepares to roll the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft back to the pad later this month, keeping a potential April launch opportunity in view. 🕘Launch T-0: April 1, 2026 📅Launch Window: 6:24PM - 8:24PM EST 🔁Additional opportunities throughApril FOLLOW for latest Artemis II updates! 📸: Zac (Zachary "Astro" Aubert) for TLP

🚨 A SATELLITE JUST REVEALED SOMETHING SHOCKING: GPS JAMMING IS FAR MORE WIDESPREAD THAN ANYONE REALIZED. An experimental navigation satellite called Pulsar-0, flying just 500 km above Earth, has mapped GPS signal tampering from space for the first time and the scale surprised even the engineers who built it. As soon as the satellite passed over Europe and parts of the Middle East, its GPS receiver showed massive signal degradation. In the worst areas, signal strength dropped from a normal 40 decibels all the way down to just 10 decibels. Why this matters: • Ground-based jammers (used in conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East) are now reaching all the way into low Earth orbit • Satellites like Starlink that rely on GPS for collision avoidance and positioning are being affected across a huge region from France to the borders of Pakistan • When GPS drops out, satellites can’t accurately point their antennas, maintain formation, or safely maneuver • This isn’t just a military problem it threatens the growing network of commercial satellites we increasingly depend on The deeper implication: We’ve long known that GPS signals on the ground can be jammed. What we didn’t fully appreciate is how far those jamming signals reach into space. Even satellites in low Earth orbit the backbone of global communications, Earth observation, and future mega-constellations are now operating in an increasingly hostile electromagnetic environment. Xona’s upcoming constellation aims to fix this with signals 100 times stronger than traditional GPS. But the bigger question remains: as more nations and groups weaponize jamming and spoofing, how resilient will our orbital infrastructure actually be? How concerned are you that GPS jamming is now reaching into space and affecting satellites? Follow for more frontier space technology and the hidden vulnerabilities of our orbital systems.
