In July 2026, GE Aerospace, in collaboration with NASA, BETA Technologies, and Boeing, achieved the aviation industry’s first hybrid-electric flight above 30,000 feet—the cruising altitude of commercial passenger aircraft .
Spacecraft have always faced a fundamental constraint: fuel. Every maneuver, every orientation adjustment, every life-extension burn consumes propellant. Once the fuel runs out, the mission ends—regardless of whether the spacecraft’s

Why Submillimetre? Piercing the Cosmic Veil Dust in the centres of galaxies absorbs and scatters visible light, meaning most regions of active star formation—and entire galaxies—remain virtually invisible in the

For decades, the aerospace industry has operated within the thermodynamic limits of conventional rocket engines—designs that have seen only incremental efficiency gains since the Apollo era. That paradigm may finally
As NASA targets the opening of its launch window on April 1, 2026, the Artemis II mission is officially in its final pre-launch phases. Marking the first crewed lunar mission
Decades of canceled projects and paper studies have long characterized the pursuit of nuclear spaceflight. However, NASA’s newly announced Space Reactor-1 Freedom (SR-1 Freedom) mission signals a major pivot toward
Launching the Workshop, Not Just the Science While many missions launch science instruments, NASA’s On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1 (OSAM-1) mission, now in advanced integration, is launching the workshop
