Dawn Aerospace has raised $25 million to scale up its work in both in-space transportation and suborbital spaceplanes.

Space surveillance venture Look Up plans to use Skynopy’s ground station network to help automate its proposed low Earth orbit collision avoidance service, the French startups announced June 17.

ESA Impact: a look at ESA’s spring milestones

The European Space Agency’s Mars Express has captured part of Mars’s Mamers Valles: a fascinating valley system speckled with brief, tornado-like whirlwinds known as dust devils.

Researchers have confirmed a new class of objects within our Milky Way galaxy: survivors called 'bulge fossil fragments.' Terzan 5 is the prototype of these remnants of our galaxy's early formation. Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescopes researchers have shown that Terzan 5 is not a globular star cluster as it was once classified. Instead, it is something much odder and rarer. 

This timelapse shows operations by Dextre, a highly precise robotic “handyman” attached to the International Space Station’s robotic arm, Canadarm2.

Dextre is designed for delicate tasks such as repairs, maintenance, and handling small components. Canadarm2 can move around the Station and is used to capture visiting spacecraft and carefully position equipment or astronauts.

Both systems can be operated by astronauts on board the Station as well as by specialized robotics teams on the ground.
