Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Within just a handful of years after the Crew Dragon spacecraft took the first astronauts to space, SpaceX is ready to fly yet another private astronaut mission. The Dragon's first flight was for NASA astronauts, but SpaceX rapidly moved to gain a foothold in the private crewed low Earth orbit (LEO) exploration market by opening up the Crew Dragon for private missions. SpaceX's only corporate, private customer for Crew Dragon is Axiom Space, and the duo are gearing up to launch the Ax-3 mission from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida tomorrow. Axiom Space's media conference for the Ax-3 mission […]
After months of waiting, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) X-59 supersonic test plane was finally revealed at a ceremony held by the plane's manufacturer, Lockheed Martin. Lockheed is one of the most advanced aircraft manufacturers in the world, and its partnership with the world's leading space agency aims to test a plane with quieter supersonic aircraft that can overcome restrictions on breaking the sound barrier over populated areas. Commercial aviation has been unable to utilize the benefits of supersonic flight despite years having passed since the first commercial supersonic jets flew. NASA Unveils Supersonic Jet Which Aims To […]
NASA's first lunar lander launch (the NASA Peregrine Mission 1) since the Apollo era continues to surprise despite a scare that took place soon after its launch and led to engineers confirming that a soft landing is impossible. Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander lifted off on the United Launch Alliance's (ULA) brand new Vulcan rocket earlier this month, making it the U.S.'s first private commercial attempt to land a spacecraft full of payload on the Moon. Now, Astrobotic's engineers believe that the Peregrine might have 52 hours of propellant remaining - an update that comes 17 hours after Astrobotic's previous one […]
After its highly anticipated launch before the crack of dawn today, Astrobotic's maiden lunar lander flight has developed some problems. According to an update shared by the firm, while the lander was able to successfully clear some tests post deployment, as of now, it has been unable to maintain a normal solar orientation. The anomaly takes place early in the Peregrine's journey to the Moon since it has to orbit the Earth before it can land on the lunar surface. Astrobotic's update shares that the spacecraft could not achieve "a stable sun-pointing orientation." Solar Orientation Is An Essential Component Of […]
Looking to start 2024 on a strong note, NASA's and SpaceX's next crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) is on track for a February launch. NASA confirmed a 'no earlier than' mid February launch date as of now in a post inviting media members for accreditation to view the Falcon 9 lift off with the Crew Dragon spacecraft from Florida at the Kennedy Space Center. The KSC is the only spaceport in the U.S. capable of sending astronauts to the ISS and deeper space. The site itself has an eventful year ahead of it if NASA can meet […]
NASA's upcoming launch of the first American lunar lander to the Moon, set for an attempt this coming Monday, also faced a massive cost increase after disruptions from the coronavirus pandemic upended nearly everything, everywhere. NASA is sending five payloads to the lunar surface on the Peregrine lunar lander on the United Launch Alliance's Vulcan rocket, and details shared by the agency during a media teleconference earlier today revealed that the contract cost is now $108 million. NASA & ULA's Upcoming Lunar Lander Launch On Monday Faces Long Delay If It Misses Early Monday Morning Launch The first Vulcan launch […]
Ahead of the launch of Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander on Monday, the United Launch Alliance (ULA) has transported its new Vulcan rocket to the pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The Peregrine is the U.S.'s first privately developed lunar lander, and its launch is part of a broader global private corporate interest in commercially led lunar exploration. The Peregrine lunar lander will also mark the second time that a U.S. launch company has sent a private spacecraft to the lunar surface, and the mission will fly on ULA's Vulcan rocket along with an upgraded Centaur upper stage.
