A four-person crew will spend three to five days aboard a SpaceX capsule orbiting above the poles of Earth — a flight path ...
In a cosmic twist of fate, scientists have confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4, a near-Earth asteroid previously thought to pose ...
the crew will be the first to view Earth’s poles from low-Earth orbit. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launch will place the Dragon into a 90-degree circularized orbit, the highest of any human mission yet.
Flying to a 90-degree circular orbit on a never-before-seen flight trajectory, the flight will take the crew of four explorers over the Earth's polar regions. In the 64 years humans have been ...
"However, we think that the increasingly commercial nature of space will result in attacks, physical and digital, on space assets, probably starting with disruptions of Earth-based space assets ...

The United States Space Force’s secretive X-37B space plane touched down to earth on Friday after spending 434 days in orbit conducting mysterious tests. The unmanned Boeing-made aircraft landed ...
Using simulations of carbon emissions over time, a team of scientists from MIT is predicting a shocking drop in the satellite-carrying capacity of low Earth orbit. They concluded that, as the ...
Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too, a new study finds. Part of the greenhouse effect that warms the ...
