SpaceX launches satellites from California, Florida day after scrubs
Washington DC (UPI) Jul 23, 2025
SpaceX launched two Falcon 9 rockets with satellite payloads after they were scrubbed less than a minute before liftoff one day earlier in Florida and California.
In both situations, the rockets and payloads were in good health.
On Wednesday, the private agency launched two Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites, or TRACER, for NASA at 2:13 p.m. PD

Seismic signatures reveal fragmentation patterns of fireball meteoroids
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jul 24, 2025
Seismic data can distinguish between intact and fragmented fireball meteoroids during atmospheric entry, according to a new study published in Seismological Research Letters. Researchers led by Iona Clemente of Curtin University analyzed seismic signals from several fireball events, including the 2020 return of Japan's Hayabusa2 sample capsule, to test this approach.

New MachLab rocket test site launches UK into next phase of space engineering
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jul 23, 2025
A Cold War-era bunker near Scotland's Mull of Kintyre has been repurposed into a state-of-the-art rocket testing and training facility. Known as MachLab, the site has officially opened at a business park on the former RAF Machrihanish airbase close to Campbeltown.
Established by University of Glasgow researchers with nearly Pounds 500,000 in funding-half from the UK Space Agency-MachLab w

Diverse rocky planets found around nearby red dwarf including one in the habitable zone
Paris, France (SPX) Jul 24, 2025
A Canadian-led team has revealed the most detailed analysis yet of the L 98-59 planetary system, confirming the presence of a fifth planet within its habitable zone. The system, located just 35 light-years from Earth, hosts a strikingly diverse group of rocky exoplanets orbiting a small red dwarf star.
Led by researchers from the Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (IREx) at Univ

CTAO telescope uncovers fresh evidence for layered jet structures in historic gamma ray burst
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jul 24, 2025
The CTAO LST Collaboration has unveiled critical insights into gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets following detailed analysis of GRB 221009A-the most luminous GRB ever observed. The results, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, draw from 2022 observations using the LST-1, a prototype Large-Sized Telescope stationed at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the CTAO-North site in La Palma,

JunoCam revived by onboard heat treatment just in time for Io flyby
Nashville TN (SPX) Jul 24, 2025
NASA's Juno spacecraft, currently orbiting Jupiter, narrowly salvaged its onboard JunoCam imager through a remote thermal repair maneuver executed in December 2023. The move, initiated from over 370 million miles away, enabled the camera to capture unprecedented views of Io during a close approach. The repair effort was detailed by mission engineers on July 16 at the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radia

Young magmas on the came from much shallower depths
Gainesville FL (SPX) Jul 24, 2025
New research on the rocks collected by China's Chang'e 5 mission is rewriting our understanding of how the moon cooled. Stephen Elardo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of Geological Sciences with the University of Florida, has found that lava on the near side of the moon likely came from a much shallower depth than previously thought, contradicting previous theories on how the moon produced lavas

First MetOp Second Generation satellite fuelled
The journey to launch is picking up pace for Europe’s MetOp Second Generation weather satellite – which hosts the Copernicus Sentinel-5 as part of its instrument package. Specialists at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou have completed the critical and hazardous task of fuelling the satellite, marking a major milestone in its final preparations for liftoff.
