It’s been no secret that SpaceX has been in the process of building a Starship factory at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. That process could take a few years, but according to SpaceX, they won’t be waiting around to finish it before flying Starship here.
Boca Chica, Texas – March 3, 2025 – SpaceX’s highly anticipated eighth Integrated Flight Test (IFT-8) of its Starship rocket was scrubbed on Monday afternoon, just seconds before its scheduled liftoff from the company’s Starbase facility in South Texas.
Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost just made history. Here’s how.
Boca Chica, Texas – March 1, 2025 – SpaceX is gearing up for the eighth integrated flight test (IFT-8) of its ambitious Starship program, tentatively scheduled for Monday, March 3, 2025, from its Starbase facility in South Texas.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Long before Elon Musk’s SpaceX sets its sights on terraforming Mars, the aerospace titan is laying the groundwork to reshape a corner of South Texas.
Despite NASA budget cuts, the Artemis program is still alive, but for how long?
When will Starship 8 launch? At first, signs pointed to this week, but….
Intuitive Machines is set to launch its second lunar mission, IM-2, this Wednesday from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A. Carried on a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket for NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, the mission will deploy the Nova‑C lunar lander—affectionately named Athena—near the Moon’s south pole.
SpaceX released an update on the failure of Falcon 9s second stage at the end of the Starlink 11-4 mission that launched February 1:
The second stage from SpaceX’s Falcon 9 used to launch Starlink 11-4 from Vandenberg on February 1st has apparently re-entered Earth’s atmosphere, with parts of the spacecraft’s debris reaching the ground in Poland. Initially entering over the Irish Sea, the reentering body broke apart, and the debris path of the spacecraft continued over the UK, western European countries including Poland and Ukraine.
Parts of the rocket body, including a suspected pressure vessel, were found near Poznan, Poland today, prompting local investigations into the incident and public safety concerns.
At the time of this writing, SpaceX has not confirmed that the debris is theirs, but according to the FAA, the company is investigating the matter.
Cape Canaveral, Florida — SpaceX is on the brink of setting a new milestone in spaceflight reusability with its Falcon 9 booster B1067 scheduled to launch for the 26th time on February 15, 2025, during the Starlink Group 12-8 mission. This mission, taking off from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, will further demonstrate SpaceX’s commitment to a sustainable present in space through reliable reuse of its booster fleet.
