The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is taking a novel approach to the challenges surrounding the development of autonomous systems. In a departure from traditional high-fidelity simulations, DARPA experts theorize that utilizing diverse, low-fidelity simulations can speed up the transfer of autonomy from a virtual setting to the real world. Their new program, named the Transfer

A planned SpaceX launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Tuesday would mark the Space Coast's 57th launch of the year equaling the record total seen in 2022.

A Falcon 9 with 22 of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites is slated to lift off from Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 40 at 5:20 p.m. with five backup options from 6:11 p.m. to 8:48 p.m. and six backups on Oct. 18 from 4:55 p.m. to 8:23 p.m.

Space Launch Delta 45's weather squadron forecasts a 95% chance for good conditions, and 90% in the event of a 24-hour delay.

This is the first-stage booster's 16th flight with a planned recovery landing downrange on the droneship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic.

For SpaceX it would be the 53rd mission from either Canaveral or Kennedy Space Center this year while United Launch Alliance has flown three times and Relativity Space has flown once. SpaceX is the lone launch provider this year from KSC having flown 11 times while ULA, SpaceX and Relativity combined for what will be 46 launches from Canaveral.
