Google's Project Suncatcher has launched a test satellite carrying AI chips into orbit, marking a concrete step toward space-based data centers that could bypass Earth's power and land constraints.

Francis Halzen, principal investigator of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, has been awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering work in detecting high-energy neutrinos from space and establishing neutrino astronomy as a new way to study the universe.

Google will launch a prototype satellite on October 1 to test its Tensor Processing Units in space as part of Project Suncatcher. The mission will evaluate how AI chips perform under radiation, thermal extremes, and the physical stresses of spaceflight, marking the tech giant's first step toward potential orbital computing infrastructure.

Starship completed its first orbital flight on September 28, successfully deploying 26 Starlink V3 satellites and demonstrating controlled reentry and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.

Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen fly around the Moon, Glover delivers powerfully inspiring Easter message.

Over more than 50 years, each new presidential administration has reassessed the place of spaceflight among its priorities, either encouraging or curtailing the return to the Moon.

Google's Project Suncatcher prototype satellite successfully reached orbit aboard a SpaceX mission to evaluate whether machine learning infrastructure can function reliably in space. The mission will test Tensor Processing Units under radiation, thermal extremes, and launch vibration conditions, with future milestones planned for 2027 including satellite laser interconnection tests.

The U.S. is committing to the steady, repeatable work of building a lasting foothold on the Moon, and redefining humanity’s relationship with space itself.

NASA’a bold new plan to accelerate the Artemis program, build a Moonbase, and move on to Mars and the planets.
