NASA to Live Stream SpaceX Crew-11 Launch Docking, Know How to Watch Online
On July 25, 2025, Russia launched two Ionosfera-M satellites and Iran’s Nahid-2 communication satellite aboard a Soyuz-2.1b rocket from Vostochny. The new Ionosfera-M probes expand Russia’s space weather tracking constellation, while Nahid-2 reflects Iran’s space ambitions. The joint launch highlights deepening space collaboration between Mos...

NASA Tests Modular Satellite Tech to Cut Launch Costs and Speed Missions
NASA is developing scalable, modular satellite platforms to reduce cost and accelerate science missions. The Athena EPIC spacecraft, built from eight “Satlet” modules, shares control systems among instruments, simplifying integration. Slated to launch in 2025 on a SpaceX rideshare, Athena aims to cut costs from billions to millions per mission....

Aardvark Weather AI-Powered Weather Forecasting System Unveiled, Does Not Require Supercomputers
Aardvark Weather, an artificial intelligence (AI) system for weather forecasting that offers several advantages over traditional methods, was unveiled on Thursday. The fully AI-driven system is said to be capable enough to replace the existing systems that require custom supercomputers and a team of experts to deliver predictions. It is also said t...

NASA's Ingenuity Helicopter May Become Weather Station for 20 Years on Mars
The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, designed for five test flights, surpassed expectations with 72 missions before a crash ended its flight capabilities. Despite the damage, its sensors and systems remain functional, allowing it to act as a weather station. Communication with the helicopter relies on the Perseverance rover, which is moving farther away,...

New Method to Create 3D Printed Sensors Could Help Scientists Predict Weather, Study Climate Change
Researchers at the MIT have developed the ability to create low-cost plasma sensors for orbiting spacecraft. These 3D-printed sensors can be produced for tens of dollars in a matter of days. The 3D-printed plasma sensorsare ideal for CubeSats, which are used for environmental monitoring or and could help scientists weather prediction.
