Spacex Crash

NASA on Monday successfully crashed into an asteroid in the world's first test of a planetary defense system, as the US space agency continues to work on technology to prevent potential meteorite collisions with Earth, that could threaten life on the planet. The DART spacecraft was launched by a SpaceX rocket in November 2021, and made most of its ...

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, will attempt to alter the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos, on September 26. The US space agency is set to create history when it crashes a spacecraft into the asteroid, attempting to deflect it from its trajectory. A tiny moon of the asteroid Didymos, the asteroid Dimorphos is an ideal target for NA...

The state of a three-tonne discarded rocket part that should have crashed into the far side of the Moon by now is not known, say astronomers. Scientists had expected the rocket part to hit the lunar surface on Friday at a speed exceeding 8,800kmph, dig out a small crater, and create a plume of smoke. But there have been no such signs so far.

Astronomers won't be able to observe the crash, but expect its image will be taken by NASA's orbiter of India's Chandrayaan 2.

Elon Musk has said his company SpaceX would save the International Space Station (ISS) from crashing after the head of the Russian space agency warned that the crippling sanctions announced by the West against Moscow could lead to the ISS falling into the US, Europe, or India.

Rocket scheduled to crash on the surface of Moon on March 4 was not built by SpaceX, astronomers have announced, correcting their earlier analysis. It was, in fact, built by China, astronomers have now deciphered.

International Space Station (ISS) is entering its final decade of operational life and NASA is planning to open it for commercial activities. The space agency has detailed the transition plan in a new report. It outlines the steps being taken by NASA to develop “both the supply and demand side” of the low-Earth-orbit commercial economy.

NASA said it aims to survey the crater formed when the remains of a SpaceX rocket are expected to crash into the Moon in early March, calling the event "an exciting research opportunity."

A part of a SpaceX rocket that was deployed in 2015 to put into orbit a NASA satellite called the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) and later abandoned will crash into the Moon in March, experts say.

A chunk of a SpaceX rocket that blasted off seven years ago and was abandoned in space after completing its mission will crash into the Moon in March, experts say.

Beijing on Tuesday accused the United States of irresponsible and unsafe conduct in space over two "close encounters" between the Chinese space station and satellites operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX.

NASA has launched a mission to deliberately smash a spacecraft into an asteroid -- a test run should humanity ever need to stop a giant space rock from wiping out life on Earth.

Final rehearsals for NASA's planetary defence test are already underway. The one-of-a-kind mission, which will launch next week, is set to intentionally crash a spacecraft into an asteroid to deflect its path. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) will attempt to hit the moonlet asteroid Dimorphos, which orbits a larger asteroid called Didymo...

NASA is gearing up for the launch of its first planetary defence test, which will involve a spacecraft intentionally crashing into an asteroid to impact its trajectory. The US agency has filled the spacecraft with fuel, performed some final tests, and is running rehearsals for the final mission. Named Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the mi...
