NASA Successfully Tests Drag-Reducing Laminar-Flow Wing in Flight
NASA has successfully flown its 40-inch CATNLF laminar-flow wing model aboard an F-15B aircraft in January 2026. The test confirmed the drag-reducing design performs safely in flight. By maintaining smooth airflow over wings, the technology could improve fuel efficiency by up to 10 percent, lowering airline costs and reducing carbon emissions signi...

Rocket Lab Successfully Launches NEONSAT-1A on Bridging the Swarm Mission
Rocket Lab successfully launched South Korea’s NEONSAT-1A satellite on January 29, 2026, completing the delayed Bridging the Swarm mission from New Zealand. Deployed into a 540-kilometer orbit, the Earth-observation spacecraft will deliver near-real-time imagery to monitor natural disasters across the Korean Peninsula. The launch marked Rocket La...

NASA Evaluates Early Liftoff for SpaceX Crew-12 Following Rare ISS Medical Evacuation
NASA has announced a pair of news conferences on Jan. 30 to discuss final preparations for the SpaceX Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station. The four-astronaut flight, launching aboard a Falcon 9 rocket in February 2026, is part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program and will support ongoing research and station maintenance during a month...

NASA Tests New Wing Design That Could Transform Airliner Efficiency
NASA engineers have tested a new laminar-flow wing concept at the Armstrong Flight Research Center by mounting a scaled CATNLF model beneath an F-15B aircraft. During high-speed taxi trials reaching about 144 mph, the design demonstrated potential to keep airflow smooth longer, reducing drag. NASA estimates the technology could cut fuel consumption...

NASA Confirms Historic Artifacts Will Fly on Artemis II Moon Mission
NASA’s Artemis II mission will carry historic artefacts into lunar orbit in 2026, marking the first crewed Artemis flight and the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. The flight kit includes pieces from the Wright Flyer, Apollo and Shuttle-era flags, early lunar imagery, and contributions from international partners and public outreach campaig...

SpaceX Launches 29 New Starlink Satellites as Reused Falcon 9 Booster Ties Flight Record
SpaceX successfully launched 29 Starlink satellites on January 12, 2026, aboard a reused Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral. The mission marked SpaceX’s fifth launch of the year and demonstrated booster reuse, with the first stage landing on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas. After a long coast phase, the upper stage deployed the satellites...

ISRO’s PSLV Suffers Second Failure as Third-Stage Glitch Sends Rocket Off Course
India’s trusted PSLV rocket suffered another setback on January 12 when an anomaly during the third-stage burn caused mission failure. The launch was carrying EOS-N1 (Anvesha), a military hyperspectral satellite, along with 15 other payloads. ISRO confirmed a deviation in the flight path shortly after ignition, and all satellites are now feared l...

No Doctors in Space: How NASA Handles Medical Emergencies on the ISS
A medical emergency aboard the International Space Station has highlighted how NASA protects astronaut health in orbit. With no doctors on the ISS, crews rely on extensive medical training, onboard equipment, and real-time telemedicine with flight surgeons on Earth. If needed, spacecraft such as Crew Dragon or Soyuz can quickly return astronauts ho...

NASA May Launch Historic Artemis 2 Moon Mission in Just One Month, Astronauts Ready for Flight
NASA’s Artemis 2 mission could launch astronauts around the moon in February, marking the first human flight to lunar space since Apollo 17. The crew will test Orion’s systems on a free-return trajectory and prepare for future lunar landings, paving the way for Artemis 3 and NASA’s goal of establishing a long-term human presence on the moon.
