Two new white papers published by NASA detail the agency’s Moon to Mars architecture, a comprehensive plan for lunar and Martian exploration. The papers delve into the logistical challenges of establishing a human presence on the moon, particularly the transportation and cargo requirements, NASA said. One white paper, “Lunar Mobility Drivers and Needs,” tackles the […]
Leidos will provide NASA missions with engineering, maintenance and operations support under a potential $476.5 million contract with a two-year base period and three option years. The fourth iteration of the Cargo Mission Contract covers the International Space Station program and the Artemis moon exploration program among other missions, NASA said Thursday. According to the […]

Space exploration company Voyager Space is working to expand its capabilities under a new partnership with artificial intelligence solutions provider Palantir Technologies. An expansion of an existing memorandum of understanding, the new deal allows Voyager to integrate the Palantir Foundry and the Artificial Intelligence Platform solutions into its payload management system for use in the […]
The fourth and final spacecraft of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R series was launched into orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket Tuesday. Dubbed GOES-U and set to be called GOES-19 after it reaches geostationary orbit, the satellite is equipped with a Compact Coronagraph instrument for the observation of sun […]
SpaceX has received a contract from NASA to develop and produce a spacecraft capable of deorbiting the International Space Station. On Wednesday, NASA announced that it had tapped SpaceX to work on the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle, which would ensure that ISS components will turn into additional space debris once it concludes its operation. NASA is […]
The U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command is seeking proposals for a new program called Resilient GPS, aimed at developing smaller, more affordable GPS satellites. Supported by the Space Enterprise Consortium, R-GPS will augment the command’s current 31-satellite GPS network by adding smaller satellites that can broadcast essential navigational signals for military and civilian use, […]
IBM and NASA’s Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team have jointly developed a comprehensive toolset of large language models open for researchers to access curated scientific data from diverse sources. Called INDUS, the toolkit enables research on five scientific domains, including Earth science and astrophysics. The LLM suite also offers improved data access from peer-reviewed […]
V2X announced that it has received a contract from NASA to support the technical needs of the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Under the $265 million contract, V2X will provide technical support services until 2033, ensuring that hardware and software at the facility are at their optimal state at […]
Northrop Grumman has turned over two satellites to Space Norway for the Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission, aimed at providing continuous broadband coverage across the North Pole and underserved high-latitude areas. The payloads the satellites will host include the Enhanced Polar System-Recapitalization program, the first operational U.S. military payload to fly on a commercial spacecraft operated […]
