Peer reviewed results from Chang’e‑6 are changing the Moon’s origin and evolution story. The first analyses point to a global magma ocean, a markedly drier far-side mantle, and a magnetic field that flickered, not faded. Here is what that means for missions.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn is set to loft NASA’s twin ESCAPADE probes to Mars on its second flight. Here is why sending interplanetary science so early in a rocket’s life could reset expectations for cost, risk, and NASA–industry partnerships.

Blue Origin’s second New Glenn launch is set to send NASA’s twin ESCAPADE probes toward Mars. Here is why NASA chose a new rocket’s sophomore outing, how VADR changes risk, what ESCAPADE will study, and what success or a scrub would mean.

Perseverance just found “leopard spot” minerals in Jezero Crater that a new Nature paper calls a potential biosignature. Here is what the results actually say, how CoLD ranks the claim, the tests needed to prove life, and why sample return is key.

NASA says a Perseverance core called Sapphire Canyon holds a potential biosignature from a rock dubbed Cheyava Falls. We unpack what the “leopard spots” mean, how the CoLD scale works, what proof would require on Earth, and how funding could speed or stall the answer.

Most teams buy AI like SaaS and hope for magic. A better path is a simple, personal stack built around your daily work. This guide shows a 30 day plan to capture data, automate routines, and measure real results.

A rare interstellar comet is crossing our neighborhood right now. Here is the clearest picture from July to September 2025, what early spectra say about its makeup, how it compares to ’Oumuamua and Borisov, and what to watch as it nears the Sun.

Early 2025 delivered two private lunar touchdowns and a June failure. The question is no longer can they land but how fast we can stand up power, comms, navigation, night survival, and mobility. Here is the near-term buildout.

A Nature‑published Perseverance result marks the mission’s best biosignature candidate yet—raising urgency for Mars Sample Return as NASA weighs two lower‑cost architectures with ESA’s orbiter, and China opens Tianwen‑3 for a 2028 launch.

On Sept. 29, Blue Origin plans to fly New Glenn’s second mission and first interplanetary payload: NASA’s twin ESCAPADE probes to Mars. A clean ascent and booster recovery attempt could cement BE‑4 heavy lift as a real alternative for NASA and national security.

At World Satellite Business Week, mobile operators and low Earth orbit networks moved beyond emergency texting to real service bundles. SMS and low-rate IoT turn on first, with voice and data six to twelve months behind.

The United States just activated public space traffic services, moving collision alerts from inboxes to live software feeds. Next up: autonomous dodges by default, maneuver-intent norms, and machine-speed rules from orbit to the Moon.

Fresh Starship test data and an opening regulatory window are pushing orbital refueling from slideware to flight plan. Here is what to watch as tankers, cryogenic transfer demos, and depot prototypes arrive, and how they rewrite mission design.

A quiet idea just got real: x402 uses the Payment Required status to let agents read, fetch, and call services with clear prices, licenses, and receipts. Here is how it works, why it matters, and what to build now.

After World Satellite Business Week, operators signaled a pivot: standardized laser links that let LEO, MEO, and GEO networks peer like the internet. The next year is a land‑grab for interoperability, routing, and ground upgrades.

A burst of geomagnetic storms just turned space weather into an operations problem. Drag jumped, comms hiccupped, and conjunction alerts spiked. Here is the new stack for storm-ready constellations, and why it will be a moat by 2026.

A quiet switch flipped: satellites are now connecting to ordinary phones. New carrier tie-ups and on-orbit demos push 5G and LTE-NTN from text-only pilots to real service tiers, with big implications for rural coverage, disasters, and IoT.
