Australian-made rocket set for historic space launch
Wednesday, 14 May 2025 11:42
An Australian company says it aims to make the first orbital test launch of a locally-developed rocket on Thursday, carrying a jar of Vegemite as its payload.
The three-stage Eris rocket is set to fly from a spaceport near Bowen on the east coast, said its developer, Gilmour Space Technologies.
If successful, it would be the first Australian-made rocket to make an orbital launch from Aus 3D Printing Technologies Pave the Way for Moon and Mars Construction

China's Tianwen-2 asteroid sample return mission is set to launch this month, May 2025, en route to the asteroid Kamo?oalewa (2016 HO3). The country could join the United States and Japan, whose space agencies have both successfully retrieved a sample from an asteroid to study back on Earth.
Several space missions have flown by asteroids before and gotten a peek at their compositions, but ESA's Proba-3 Mission Demonstrates Breakthrough in Precision Formation Flying
Wednesday, 14 May 2025 11:42
For the first time, the European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission has achieved precise formation flying, maintaining millimetre-level alignment between two spacecraft in orbit without ground control for several hours.
The mission's two satellites, the Coronagraph and the Occulter, achieved a 150-metre separation in orbit, effectively acting as a single giant instrument. This alignment was th Galactic Turbulence Simulations Challenge Long-Held Theories

An international team led by Princeton University researchers has conducted the most precise simulations of magnetized turbulence in the Galaxy to date, revealing surprising discrepancies with long-established theoretical models. These large-scale computations, leveraging the power of over 140,000 parallel processors at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, have captured the complex behavior of tur Glasgow Lab to Test Space-Bound 3D-Printed Materials for Safety
Wednesday, 14 May 2025 11:42
A cutting-edge facility in Glasgow aims to address the risks associated with in-space 3D printing, a technology poised to transform how objects are manufactured in orbit. Researchers at the University of Glasgow's James Watt School of Engineering have developed the NextSpace Testrig, the first dedicated facility designed to assess the structural integrity of materials 3D printed in space.
