China’s Shijian-21 and Shijian-25 satellites, known as SJ-21 and SJ-25 for short, likely docked together in geosynchronous ...

At the same time, the US Space Force is interested in orbital refueling as it seeks out ways to extend the lives of military satellites, which are often limited by finite fuel supplies.

Moreover, this advancement benefits aerospace applications, where spacecraft and satellites follow periodic orbital patterns.

A call for better tracking? Before the conversation about atmospheric pollution, a need to comprehensively track the orbital environment was well-understood. In an era of multiplying debris, complex ...

Iran's state news agency says the country has tested one of its satellite carrying rockets with a suborbital flight.

Russia's co-orbital satellite tactics are redefining space deterrence and signaling a more aggressive phase in orbital ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Starfish Space's second Otter Pup spacecraft was launched into orbit, marking the first step in a satellite docking test mission.

Up until now, satellites have not even been designed with refueling in mind, because, well, it wasn't possible. That will change if China can prove otherwise.

They launch the spacecraft with enough velocity in the opposite direction of Earth’s path around the sun to drop in front of, say, Venus, where it can then donate some of its orbital energy to ...

Athena EPIC shares systems to cut satellite mission costs Modular satellite platforms speed up launch readiness Small satellites support rapid science deployment in orbit ...
