NASA Begins Building Dragonfly Drone; Nuclear-Powered ‘Octocopter’ Enters Testing Ahead of 2028 Launch
NASA has begun construction of the Dragonfly mission, which will utilise a nuclear-powered rotorcraft lander to investigate Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The car-sized drone is scheduled to launch in 2028 and will conduct a comprehensive surface survey using its Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG). The spacecraft will comple...

NASA, SpaceX Delay ISS Mission Launch Due to Bad Weather
NASA and SpaceX have delayed the Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station because of unfavorable weather expected at Cape Canaveral. The launch is now targeted for February 12, with four astronauts waiting in quarantine as teams prepare the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft for the next launch window.

Failing Starlink Satellite Photographed in Orbit Before Fiery Reentry
A SpaceX Starlink satellite suffered a major in-orbit failure in December 2025, losing communication after venting its fuel tank and beginning an uncontrolled orbital descent. The malfunction caused the satellite’s altitude to drop and produced minor debris, prompting close tracking by SpaceX, NASA and the U.S. Space Force. High-resolution imager...

Starlink Satellite Breaks Apart in Orbit, Begins Uncontrolled Fall Toward Earth After SpaceX Anomaly
A SpaceX Starlink satellite is tumbling toward Earth after an orbital anomaly caused partial breakup and loss of contact. The company says the spacecraft will safely burn up during reentry, while the incident highlights increasing space safety concerns as satellite numbers continue to grow rapidly.

In Rare Accident, Musk's Starlink Lost Communication With One Of Its Satellite
SpaceX's Starlink said one of its satellites experienced an anomaly in space on Wednesday that created a "small number" of debris and cut off communications with the spacecraft at 418 km (259.73 miles) in altitude, a rare kinetic accident in orbit

Chinese Spacecraft Nearly Slammed Into Starlink Satellite, SpaceX Reveals
A Starlink satellite narrowly avoided a collision after a spacecraft launched by a Chinese rocket passed within 200 meters in orbit. SpaceX warned that the incident highlights growing safety risks caused by poor coordination as Earth’s orbital environment becomes increasingly crowded with satellites.

International Space Station Makes History As Eight Visiting Spacecraft Simultaneously Dock
In December 2025, the ISS reached a historic milestone with eight visiting spacecraft docked simultaneously for the first time. The lineup included Soyuz crew vehicles, Progress cargo ships, Japan’s HTV-X1, Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus, and two SpaceX Dragons. The rare configuration highlighted intense crew rotation operations and the ISS’s role...

Point Nemo: The Remote Ocean Graveyard Where the ISS Will Make Its Final Descent in 2030
NASA will retire the ISS in 2030, sending it to Point Nemo, a remote Pacific zone known as the spacecraft cemetery. Most of the station will burn up during reentry, with remaining debris falling harmlessly into the sea. The controlled descent aims to avoid past mishaps and reflects a new era of commercial space stations.
