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 […]

In a week full of launches for the Falcon 9 program that has seen the rocket launch crewed and other missions to space, SpaceX has finally revealed the date for its third Starship test flight. The first Starship test took place in April last year, and the progress slowed down after that as SpaceX had to build a water deluge system at the pad to avoid launch damage. After regulatory approval, which took months, the second Starship flight took off in November 2023 and raised hopes that the third test would occur sooner than the second. Now, in a post […]
After a successful on time liftoff of the Crew-8 mission late night yesterday in Florida, managers from NASA and SpaceX shared more details about the problems their teams had to work with to ensure that the Crew Dragon was clear for launch. Before liftoff, SpaceX engineers discovered that a coating on the Dragon spacecraft had a crack, and they, along with NASA engineers, had to ensure that the cracks did not pose a risk to the crew before the rocket could launch. The go ahead for launch was given roughly ten minutes before liftoff, and according to NASA's Steve Stich […]
After a delay due to weather constraints, SpaceX and NASA's Crew-8 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) successfully lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) late at night yesterday Eastern time. The mission is SpaceX's ninth NASA crewed mission to space and the firm's third launch to the space station this year. It is also SpaceX's second crewed flight for 2024, with the first one being a private mission for Axiom Space. The launch took place on time, and before liftoff, engineers had to work on sealing the spaceship and cracks on the top of the Dragon spacecraft. […]
A busy press day for NASA saw the agency share new details of its work with SpaceX's Starship program while executives from Intuitive Machines were sharing the latest updates about the first U.S. lunar landing since the end of the Apollo program. SpaceX is NASA's choice contractor for its creed Moon missions for the Artemis program, which will see the second stage Starship dock with the Lockheed made Orion spacecraft for the astronauts to make their way inside SpaceX's ship. The docking mechanism will be an extension of SpaceX's work with the ISS as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, […]
After a flight readiness review stretched late into the evening on Sunday, SpaceX and NASA gave the go ahead for agency's Crew-8 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). As of now, Crew-8 is slated to take to the skies in March, with the mission marking the fifth mission of SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft. SpaceX and NASA shared details about the issues that surfaced at the FRR, with the list of items covering concerns with the Dragon's parachutes and its valves. NASA, SpaceX Discuss Stiching, Valves & Launch Site Issues Ahead Of Upcoming Astronaut Launch When compared to SpaceX's […]
With the momentum slowly building for the third Starship test launch in Texas, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is continuing to set new records. While it is significantly smaller than Starship, the Falcon 9 is the only medium lift orbital rocket in the U.S. capable of reuse. Spacex's latest mission that set 22 Starlink satellites into orbit from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California marked yet another mission that saw the first stage Falcon 9 booster fly and land 19 times in its service life While SpaceX had initially planned to certify the rocket for 15 missions each, this tally […]
After the long weekend, SpaceX picked up progress with its Starship rocket in Texas ahead of the third test flight attempt. As of now, Starship might launch in March if all tests before the attempt are successful and engineers can comfortably clear the rocket for liftoff. Footage from multiple local media outlets covering SpaceX's launch site in Texas shows that the company might have ordered components for one of Starship's most important subsystems, the flight termination system or FTS. The deliveries follow a de-stack of the rocket at the launch pad, with SpaceX also moving a Starship second-stage spacecraft to […]
