So what's happening with Russia's new, long-delayed crewed spacecraft? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In what seems like an alternate universe in hindsight, Russia and the European Space Agency began discussing collaboration on next-generation crewed spacecraft two decades ago. Under the agreement, Europe would have provided a service module to power a crew capsule carrying up to six passengers. Europe ultimately decided not to pursue a crewed spacecraft project at the time, and Russia’s state-backed space corporation, Roscosmos, chose to move ahead with a crewed spacecraft on its own. This proj
NASA has a Dragon dilemma, and there appear to be no good answers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For two decades, largely in service to the International Space Station, NASA has sought to foster an “economy” in low-Earth orbit. Twenty years ago, with a program to develop private spacecraft for cargo delivery to the space station, NASA sought to “stimulate efforts within the private sector to develop and operate safe, reliable, and cost-effective commercial space transportation systems.” In recent years this has expanded to creating an entire commercial ecosystem in orbit, with transportatio
NASA, for the time being, is unable to move the space station's large robotic arm (opens the original)

Recently, the astronauts on board the International Space Station performed a routine “walk-off” maneuver with the large, 58-foot-long robotic arm attached to the orbiting laboratory. The robotic arm, known as Canadarm2 because it was supplied by the Canadian Space Agency, is something of a modern engineering miracle—it can effectively move around the exterior of the large space station like an inchworm because both ends are essentially identical. However, after this particular walk-off maneuver

After seven years, a spacecraft company is releasing its Otters into the wild (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Imagine starting a space company in October 2019 with the aim of changing the world. Then, a few months later, a global pandemic shuts the world down. “Little did we know what the world had in store for us,” said Trevor Bennett, an engineer who co-founded Starfish Space after a few years at Blue Origin. “But that’s kind of become part of our story, showing some resilience along the way.” At Blue Origin, he saw, up close, the ambitions of billionaires to build big rockets and put massive numbers
