The precedent of agreements such as the Montreal Protocol demonstrates that it is possible to address global environmental threats.

The HTV-X1 is now flying towards the ISS after confirming separation, stable communications and operational attitude control.

This first free flight will allow the collection of essential technical information to fine-tune its performance in different operational contexts.

NASA has once again relied on the private space industry. This time, Blue Origin has been selected to take the VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover)…

The ATLAS engine reached Mach speed in captive tests on an F-104, validating key conditions for future hypersonic missions.

With this mission, the New Shepard suborbital rocket exceeds 200 scientific payloads transported in suborbital flights.

The system was able to triple the deceleration force compared to previous models.

The Tianlong-3 achieved nearly 1,000 tons of thrust in its test, bringing China closer to reusable rocket orbital operations.

Operations will be conducted near the GEO belt, meeting regulatory standards and demonstrating advanced operational precision.

FIRE collaborations bring together universities, national laboratories and industries from around the world. ORNL works with institutions such as MIT, General Atomics, University of Illinois, University…

NASA's investment in this project underscores the importance of this technology for the future of manned missions.
