- CURIE two cubesat mission will launch on Ariane 6’s first flight
CURIE is a student-built probe and is part of a cubesat initiative funded partly by NASA.
- Video from North Korea of a test launch of what it claims is a “mid-to long-range solid-fuel, hypersonic missile”
The explosive burst at launch makes me wonder if the solid-fuel wasn’t evenly installed. North Korea’s claims about this missile are also unsubstantiated.
- On this day in 1984 the first Indian flew in space, on a Soyuz heading to the Salyut-7 space station
When this crew arrived, the Soviets for the first time had two crews of three on a space station.
- Rocket Factory Augsburg touts completion of five engines for installation on its RFA-1 rocket
It hopes to launch sometime this year from the Saxavord spaceport in the Shetland Islands, Scotland, assuming the UK’s bureaucracy finally issues launch permits.
