Over 30 years after the end of its mission, NASA’s Magellan mission recently provided new insight into tectonic processes on Venus. Scientists studied large, rounded geologic features called coronae by combining Magellan data. By Martijn Luinstra ⬇️ nasaspaceflight.com/2025/05/magell…

Starship stacked for flight

In Webb’s new deep field are galaxies that may have existed as early as 200 million years after the big bang! This long exposure to a small area of sky totals 120 hours of observing time and is Webb’s deepest look back on a single target to date! esawebb.org/images/potm250…

MLV is now Eclipse, representing two powerful forces – @NorthropGrumman and Firefly – coming together to transform the launch market. With $50 million of added investment, we’re accelerating production and testing at our Rocket Ranch in central Texas! Read more:

Serenity in the shockwaves. Since Flight 1, the idea of trying to capture Super Heavy's exhaust flow interaction with the launch mount has been burned into my head. There are many variables that go into planning a shot like this so it has been an enormous challenge to get to

Happy Demo-2 Day! Today marks the 5th anniversary of Falcon 9 returning human spaceflight capabilities to the United States

After stage separation, Super Heavy flipped in a controlled direction for the first time. This maneuver requires less propellant to be held in reserve and enables additional payload mass to orbit
