Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists Travis Yeager and Denvir Higgins used Quartz and Ruby supercomputers to simulate one million stable orbits in cislunar space. Their open-source dataset, created in just three days, is a foundational tool for future lunar missions and space traffic management.
Exclusive reporting reveals Russia’s Luch-1 and Luch-2 satellites have intercepted communications from 17+ EU satellites. This years-long espionage campaign targets unencrypted command links, giving Moscow data that could be used to manipulate or crash critical orbital infrastructure.
NASA’s Artemis III astronauts will wear a new-generation space suit developed by Axiom Space, designed to provide enhanced mobility and
NASA’s Perseverance rover, which landed in Jezero Crater on Mars in 2021 to investigate evidence of ancient life, made its
As intense radiation flooded Earth’s upper atmosphere, a strong X4.2-class solar flare on Wednesday disrupted radio communications in parts of
A defunct Russian military satellite, previously used to closely inspect other spacecraft, appears to have violently broken apart in a
MIT physicists at CERN have found the first direct proof that the early universe’s quark-gluon plasma flows like a liquid. By detecting wakes left by speeding quarks, Professor Yen-Jie Lee’s team confirms the trillion-degree “primordial soup” behaved as a near-perfect fluid in its first microseconds.
Aboard the International Space Station, NASA’s Chris Williams set the stage for a student robotics challenge using Astrobee helpers, while Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev conducted virtual reality balance research. The work advances orbital technology and studies human adaptation for future deep-space missions.
Chinese aerospace firm Adaspace Technology has deployed Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen-3 AI model in orbit, completing a full inference cycle from Earth and back in less than two minutes. This milestone in the U.S.-China space race demonstrates the practical potential of orbital data centers powered by solar energy and marks a major leap for the planned 2,800-satellite “Star-Compute Project.”
