- New computer models suggest Ceres has an icy crust and was once covered with muddy ocean
Everyone say after me: “The uncertainty of science!”
- Graphic showing all rockets developed by India’s space agency ISRO, past, present, and future
This will be more exciting when the list shows rockets from private Indian companies.
- ISRO building third launchpad at its Sriharikota spaceport
This is in addition to a second completely different spaceport being developed further south.
- ULA’s CEO touts video of release of fairings during last week’s Vulcan launch
All I kept thinking is ULA is throwing those away, while SpaceX has been recovering and reusing its fairings now for years.
- China completes main antenna installation of new 40 meter radio telescope in Shigatse, Tibet
It appears this antenna is to increase China’s ability to detect things in orbit, though this is not certain.
